FORAKER'S SPEECH.

The next business was the nomination
of a candidate for president and when the
State of Ohio was called, Joseph Il. For
aker of that State, ex-governor and sena-
tor-elect, came to the platform, and. amid
great applause proceeded TO put McKin-
ley in nomination. He said
Mr. President and gentlemen OF the
convention: 1T would be exceedingly diff
ticut IL not entirely impossible to exag-
gerate the disagreeable situation OF the
last four years. The grand aggregate of
the multitudnous bad results of IA demo-
cratic national administration may be
summed up as one stupendous disaster 1t
has been disaster, however. not without
at least, this one redceming fcature-That
1t has been fair; nobody has escaped
Cloud laughter)
1t has fallen equally and alike on all
sections of the country and all classes Of
our people. The just and the unjust the
republican and the democrat, the rich
and the poor, the high and the low have
suffered in common. Poverty and dis
tress have overtaken business; shrunken
values have dissipated fortunes: dehclcn-
cies of revenue have impoverished the
government while bond issues and bond
syndicates have discredited and scand-
ilized the country.
lover against that fearful penalty is
however. to be set down one great, blessed
compensatory result-It has destroyed the
democratic party. CHEERS and laughter
The proud columns which swept the
country in triumph in 1892 are broken and
hopeless In 1896. Their boosted principles
when put to the test have proved to be de-
lusive fallacies, and their great leaders
have degenerated into warning chieftans
of petty and irreconciliabe factions. Their
approaching national convention Is but an
approaching national nightmare. No man
pretends to be able to predict any good
result to como from it. And no man Is
seeking the nomination of that convention
except only the limited few who have
advertised their unfitness for any kind
of public trust by proclaiming their will

form that may be adopted Qaughter)

stand up under the odium of human sla-

no mistake here, the democratic party
will go out of power on the fourth day Of

80 far we have not made any mistake.
We have adopted a platform which, not
withdrawing the scene witnessed In this
hall this morning. meets the demands and
expectations'of the American people.
