evils as are the necessary result or the success of the Chicago platform be the eXecutioners of our loved and Venerat- ed party We cannot, even by implica- tion, be held to the false theory that the people can be made rich by taxa tion, nor to the theory that the federal power and treasury can or ought to be used to impair the autonomy of the states on one hand and on the other to dispense large as to favored classes. The election of Mckinley or Bryan with our support would mean the destruction of our whole party for generation. For when our people recover from the debauch of populism and anarchy they will discard the men who have led their orgy.
 If we go to Mckinley those men will be the recognized opponents of democ- racy. When fumes of the debauch are dissipated and sober reason resumes her sway our flock will turn toward its fold only to find it destroyed. We, therefore, stand fast, We sound bugle call throughout the land for all democrats to rally for support of gov ernment and law, for the honor of their country and for the maintenance and preservation of their creed, it's memories and its glories. If not needed now it will be in the near future and then those clouds which lowered over our political fortunes and darkened our councils will take flight; those opposed eyes lately met in party conflict will be turned all one way and united and triumphant democracy will march on to | victory under the Aegis of the consti- tuition and under the precepts of the apostles of our faith"
 Senator Caffrey's remarks were de- | livered with much force and were | greeted with continued cheering. At
 the close of Mr Caffrey's speech John | P Irish of California was introduced | and made speech. Abiding to the l democratic convention held in Indian apolis, held during the war under | threat, as he said, of physical exter-
 imitation, he remarked that they were l here to-day under the threat of exter- | imitation of that which was dearer than life. They were to defend against | further attack upon the public credit l the national honor and the private and l personal individual honesty They were | met to face a crisis more serious than I any crisis that had been faced before | They were met to oppose the moral | force of principle and conscience to
 those who would assail and destroy the | independence of the individual citizen. | They were met as representatives of a | party that opposed an organization l that had f1lched it's name. We repre- l sented that organization and those | ,-;, ,,.;, J1., .AI
 land were in line with the ancient prin- ciples of human liberty (Applause) l They were here to stand for all that
 had been gained when Cleveland struck i the apparently dried-up fountain of l unselfishness of the republic We are | here to denounce right and left the en- l emies of all that we have gained since l 1884. We are here to denounce on the l right the republican party, for by the | extravagance of it's Appropriations It | has so enlarged the deficiency of reve-
 nue as to form an excuse for renewal of the pernic.ous paternal policy of protection. We are here to denounce the popuIists of Chicago and St Louis, for they, by their threats involving the free coinage of silver and slump to financial foundation made up of a de I preciated and factuating currency, | have so destroyed public confidence as | to paralyze the activities of the people | of this republic and limited trade to such an extent that the present impost | laws passed by congress do not produce the revenues they would if confidence and prosperity were abroad. We ar raign these two enemies of the plain people of the republic as co-conspira- tors in complementary and recipro-
 eating policy which has produced the
 conditions about which both hypercrit-
 ically raise whining voices of com
 plaint and accusation. Daughter and
 cheers.) The candidate of one combin-
 ation standing for an advance of prices
 by that artifice called protection, the
 other conspirator represented by a
 candidate who is preaching to the peo-
 pie the gospel of high prices, to be se-
 cured by reducing the purchasing pow
 CT of our money, each policy meaning
 burdens upon the industry of the labor-
 CT, upon the profits of enterprises and
 upon the avails of investments. (Re- newed cheers.) We stand where Jef-
 ferson stood, where Cleveland stands,
 and say to these daughters of the horse
 leech "A plague upon you both. 7 2 Cloud cheering and laughter)
