carry out their views and to p~erpetuate
their dominance. 1t is from their fer
tile brains, from their OVERLOOKING
Golfers, from their boundless resources
built up by thirty years of republican
sway, that emauated, first, the attack
upon silver, and then, in revenge for a
partially reduced tariff, the assaults
upon the gold reserve.
alt is III and puerile for us to close
our eyes to the stubborn fact that this
republican party is the most cohesive
political power that has ever existed in
this country for that matter, in any
country. Its discipline is that of a
sOldiery, its independence is nil, its
subserviency to leadership is absolute.
IL is responsive to the word of COM
mand. When the orders are made all
along the line from its ge%neralship,
which may not be entirely in accord
wi h Its rank and file, among whom
the came differences may exist, will
disappear all Observation-Disclosures will
he put aside, and this splendid, but
selfish and mistaken army, will march
to the polls to the quickstep of its flies
and drums as Il solid phalanX.
. Upon our side how is itP Hyper
criticism, distrust, suspicion, division.
These mean, if continued, disaster and
defeat. There is but one earthly organi-
cation that can cope in America with
the republican party, and that is the
democratic party. Therefore, let us
take counsel together as to how we
shall treat those men who have been
our brothers in the past, who have
stood shoulder to shoulder with US In
many a hard-fought contest, who upon
all those questions which concern the
rights and liberties of the citizen, stand
with us rather han with republicans.
They cannot ask us to yield upon a
point which we deem vital and upon
which we differ, and | do not look for
any contest upon it whatever. This
state will un~questionably cast in the
national convention thirty-four votes
for the Missouri position upon silver,
but there are so many common grounds
upon which we may stand and upon
which we must stand, if we expect sue
cess, that we can treat these fellow
democrats with such courtesy and con-
sideration as will hold them to us
than drive them t. the enemy,
or sulking to their tents.
al am a disciple of Thomas Jeffer-
son and a lover of the party which he
founded. Let us cherish, care for and
defend it in the future as we have in
the past, standing unalterably by its
principles. Then, though temporary
defeat may come, we will know, as we
have always known, that upon the
principles we advocate there is founded
an immortal and imperishable organi-
ton of freedom, the influence of which
will continue to reverberate through
the ages, as do the majesty, The elo-
quence and the power which werel
