The dem cratic party Is here represented by
delegates who have come from the Atlantic
and Pacific shores Every state has Its full
quota every state, as far as can bring about
such result, shall have full, equal, absolute
and impartial treatment from this stand
Every state Is entitled to such treatment
Every question should be considered carefully
and deliberately, and when the voice Of this
convention Is crystallized into judgment, 1t
should be binding upon all true democratic
OF this conv, ntion
We differ, perhaps to-day, upon certain vital
issues and we might express some feelings Of
bitterness in these discussions, but we submit
to the voice and the candid Judgment Of our
brethren, and upon that judgment we will GER
tainly rely. Time passes as we stand here. II

leaves numerous aspirations and hopes unreal
