Cunningham's Speech.
The senator mounted the stage, and,
among other things, said:
Il congratulate the organized democra-
cy of Jefferson county, which has stood
firm to principles despite the opposition
within our ranks. l congratulate the
tl.nH @iaAf fr.r.v.
has been made so plain that no president
will have any trouble in interpreting its
meaning. / congratulate the democratic
party of Alabama for their patriotism in
thinking more of the election of Bryan
than personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT or the
election of Mckinley. am glad to know
there are still enough democrats left to
retain the organization despite the bolt
ing democrats and their republican allies.
/ am glad to know that when one gold
bug democrat quits the party there are
sixteen honest white populists to take his
place. l Hike this 16 to parity business.
1--WE are sorry to see our goldbugs go
sorry to see any set of men go to the
devil. We would have them stay with
us and support the gallant Bryan.
I'VE stand here today for the enuucia-
tion of democratic principles declared by
a two-thirds majority of a legally organ
lied democratic convention and twenty
eight over. The opposition Is organiz-
ing and uniting against us, but this is
the time when patriotism will rule.
1--WE are here today to indorse our con-
gressional representative, Tennessean
by birth and an Alabamian by adoption
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood
Hereafter the democratic party is go
ing to be a closer corporation against
those democrats who bolt on account of
personal grievances / was in favor of
letting down the bars to the following
of man who liked ten votes of receiving
the nomination for the highest office in
the gift of the people, but l am opposed
to letting down the bars to any man or
his followers who received only twenty
seven votes for the same office and was
honored with the nomination and cleo
tion, who now bolts that party.
II am specially thankful and congrat-
ulate Alabama for having in her borders
such patriotic democrats as Knox, Miller
and Blackburn"
