restoration of the money of the
constitution. You met your OPP
ponents in open conflict and by
superiority of numbers overcame
them. What do they do 4? The
very people who have been call
ing all Democrats 'Populists' are
trying to read us out of the par
ty. When they found they could
not read US out, instead of going
out of the party and giving up
the name, 1--WE have proven our
right it), they try to go out and
take the name with them and
call us anarchists because we
don't go with them. (Applause).
II understand these gold Dem
ocrats, by resolution, declared
their emblem should be the hick-
ory tree. We have heard about
Satan stealing the livery of
heaven, but we never before seen
men try to use the name of that
great hero and statesman to undo
all he tried to do. (Cries of
Good ~ Talk about Andrew
Jackson belonging to goldbug
Democracy Oaughter.) Go
back to the time of Andrew
Jackson and whom did he have
arrayed against him ? The very
men who, after trying to use the
Democratic party for private
gain, and having failed, are now
trying to elect the Republican
candidate for president by nom
mating a gold standard Demo
crat. (Cries of They can't do it).
They take a hickory tree for
their emblem. Why don't they
get something appropriate !?
Why don't they put upon their
ballot the picture of an owl !?
I.aughter). Nothing could be
more appropriate. 1t looks wise
and does its work at night.
Naughter). Or if they don't
like the owl, take the mole, it is
a slick animal and works under
ground all the time. Great
laughter and applause). But
they ought to spare the sacred
memory of the man who was the
hero of New Orleans and whose
resting place; The Hermitage, is
the Mecca of all who still love
Democratic principles" Great
applause.)
