tribute paid to his memory BY the dis
tineuished young Democrat from
MASSACHUSETTS, Hon, William r. Rus
ssl}. whose address we publish else
where
ro he sure he does not in this great
speech represent Jelferson's ideas on
tie financial question as we have
been able to understand them, but that
IS 4 temporary issue about which the
best IF men may differ and yet be good
Democrats. Hon. Chauncey f. Black,
rs introducing Mr.. Russell, outlined
the correct line Of action in this mat
ter for all true Democrats who love
their party, when he said:
Let as here, invoking his pure
spirit, and remembering his deyout
trust ia the wisdom of the people,
as q whole. implore our brethren
in every part Of the Union to put
aside an minor differences, all
local or temporary questions, and
unite for the preservation OF the
Constitution itself. Shall it be
said of this genration of Demo
Gratis, that by reason OF insane
chickering's over non-essentials,
they lost the heritage of their
fathers? Can we look posterity
in the face, If in the last year Of
the century made glorious by the
accession Of Jefferson and the
Democratic party in the first the
conditions shall be reversed?
Should those who religiously be-
lieye in Democratic principles re-
fuse to be separated upon any sub
iect whatsoever, but resolve to go
into approaching elections upon
.Tefferson's primary principle OF
absolute acquiescence in the de-
cisions of the majority" Jeffer-
sonian President will stand on
March 4. 1897, and on March 4, 1901,
where Thomas Jefferson stood on
March 4, 1901, and the new century
will dawn with as brilliant
promise to our children as this one
brought to our forefathers."
And in the midst of the discord in
party lines and without, it is well for
representative Democrats from all
parts Of the country TO turn back to
the teachings of the Sage of Monticello
for counsel and guidance.
