Stand By Bryan.
N. E. ews, receiver Of the Land
Office and also member Of hel)emoc1at-
8ic Central Committee for the Ninth dis
trict, has addressed tile following open
letter to the Democrats of the district:
write you at this time to impress
upon your mind the necessity of imme-
diate and continuous work and vigilance
on the part of each Democrat in this
district, to plant the Democratic stand
AID In each and every school district, and
to see that our flag is kept floating each
day in the view Of every one who is to
cast vote at the next November cleo
tlon. Nothing can be accomplished
without thorough organization in each:
voting precinct, county, state and in the
nation, where it has not already been
done. Each county central committee
should meet at once and divide the coun-
" INTO districts and see that there is a.
good committee of from three to five
members in each district to superintend
and conduct the work Of the campaign.
The Democratic party is one whose
sovereign power is in the people, and no
one man or set OF men has any right to
dictate the course 10 be pursued by our
party. This characteristic of the party
was never more forcibly demonstrated
than at the late Chicago convention.
Notwithstanding the honest endeavors
OF oar President during his present term
OF office to shape the course of our party
on the great financial issue, and the pow
erful work done by Lawler. Villas, Hill,
Whitney and others at the convention to
carry out the gold standard doctrine, the
delegates at that convention by an over
whelming majority, said that Sound
Money is not gold alone, but that Sound
Money is composed of both gold and sill
yer, and they then and there positively
declared Ill unmistakable language that
the sovereign power of. the Democratic
party "demands the Immediate rcstora-
ton of the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present legal ratio
of 16 to without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation"
To carry out this plank, and as the
standard bearer of the Den ocratic par
ty, they nominated man who is the idol
Of his home where he has been known
from childhood and who has forged out
for himself a reputation in lis official
career In both state and nation that is as
bright as the midday sun, and as pure
and unspotted as the falling snow; q
man whose quick ear has heard sounding
above the confused echoes from half
forgotten decades, the prayers and wish
es OF the people of this country who earn
their bread by their honest labor; man
flom whose lips the white flames of truth
flash with such intense heat of that old
principle contained in the Declaration
of Independence, that all men are crea-
ted equal, that it burns away the selfish
ness of contending factions and fuses the
souls of our people by the millions for
one common effort and one common
hope.
And predict that when he has served
his term as President of the United States
he will have IT to say, ssthat he found the
law GEAR and left it cheap; found
it a sealed book. left it living
letter: found it the patrimony of
the rich, left it the inheritance of the
poor; found it the two-edged sword of
craft and oppression, and left it the staff
of honesty and the child Of innocence
At the city of Minneapolis on the 4th
day of next month, we will nominate
the next governor and other officers of
this state, and / hope your delegation
will be on hand to assist in putting in
nomination our best material
The Congressional Convention for this
district will be held at Mankato on the
3rd of August, and it will be well for
you to look over the district for good
man to represent us in Congress, and
am sure we will be able to find man
the equal of Nc Cleary and one who will
be our next Congressman.
in conclnsion,I am constrained to a.
gain urge you to exert your best efforts
to elect each and every one of our NOM
inees, and IN order TO DC sure of ofsuccess
you must engage the people to work
with you and have them understand that
each has q personal esponsibility in this
contesf.
This will BE my last official request, as
my term Of office will end with the next
