Va, was made via the West Virginia
Central tracks on account of a. broken

Wis, living in the east is not afraid to
trust the executive Office in the hands
Of man who has always lived IN the
west. (Cheers.) I am glad that this
man of mature years is not afraid OF
those who have not reached that age
in life; 1 am glad that one of the rich
est men in your state is not afraid to
trust the government in the hands Of
the people. (Cheers.) His position
PROTECTS HIM FROM ATTACKS
which are made against me He has
been a senator for twelve years, there
fore our opponents cannot call him an
ignoramus, or novice in legislation
(Cheers) His property interests pro-
tect him from being called an anarcfl-
ist. I think they call US anarchists who
have less property. daughter and
cheers.) 1 am glad to find man who
has employed q large number of men
who does not try TO control their votes.
Great cheers for Davis and Bryan.")
My friends, there are two kinds Of
employers in this country, those who
pay wages and receive work in return,
and are satisfied, and then there are
those who expect that when they hire
q man to work for them, he will sell
his vote as well as muscle to his en-
ployer. (Cheers.) I want, ION this occa-
sion, 10 call
ATTENTION TO THE DIFFERENCE
between d man like ex-senator Davis,
who thinks his men have sense enough
to know how they ought to vote as well
as a right to vote for whom they please.
I want you to recognize between that
man as an employer and the others
who are trying 20 coerce their en-
ployees and to disfranchise every man
who works for them" (Cheers)

has declared anew for those principles
which have been Democratic from the
beginning, and which must be Demo-
cratic to the end, so long as Democ-
racy means the rule Of the people.
(Chaers.)
My friends, Democracy has mean
ing. and that meaning is well under
stood by those who
LOVE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES,
and in this campaign we find men who
claim to be Democrats, trying to fasten
upon this country a system by which
the banks shall issue money, when
Thomas Jefferson declared that banks
of issue were more dangerous than
standing armies. (Applause.) One rea-
son why we know that We are standing
in the position that jefferson occupied,
is that he said that the men who
wanted to turn over the business of
issuing paper money to the banks
called him maniac because he op-
posed it; and the very men who called
him a. maniac called US for advoca ting
what he advocated then, lunatics.
(Applause.)
