The issue is mightier tnan any fought
for in the past.
We have the n0best Of leaders.
Our candidate for President, Hon.
VIM. j. Bryan, has proven himself one
| OF the great men Of the century, if not
Of all time. The Power which gave Us
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln, has, by events almost rnirac-
| ulous, brought HIM from ohscurity to
| the fore front Of affairs. He is more
| than an orator. He is p profound
thinker, a lOgiCian, born Statesman
lie Is striving, TO the last verge Of hui
| man endurance, and at the risk Of his
| life, in campaign, which Is one pro-
| lOnged and tremendous debate, to save
| his country. Is there any honest heart
that does not go out to him III this
great struggle! We see him almost
alone, like knight in arm6r, armed
cap q pie with truth and righteousness,
battling against the gigantic powers
that now have possession Of the world.
Shall We not sustain him? Shall any
petty plea turn us aside? Let Us fol-
low where he leads and strike where
he strikes. Almost without q neWsP pa
per, without wealth, he takes upon his
shield thousand spear points and
strides forward, laughing, to beat down
the swarming hosts of the enemy. Let
every POpulist j in the United States
cry out:
"Ma5ter, go On, and We Will follow
thee
To the last gasp with truth and loysl-
! IT,"
We are no less fortunate in our can
didate for Vice President, Hon. Thomas
Z. Watson. lie is fit to stand by Mr..
Bryan and hold up his hands. a schoi
ar, an author, an orator, hero; O. fiery
souled son of the gallant South; as wise
and just as he is brave.
But do not take encouragement from
| the fact that there are two candidates
for Vice-Presid ant in the field, march
ing under Mr.. Bryan's banner. There
will be two months between the date
of the election and the day when the
electors are required by law TO cast
their votes. Surely there is wisdom
enough in the two parties which sup
port Mr.. Bryan, to adjust that compli-
cation, during that time In manner
satisfactory to all.
Brethren, some Of you fear that this
campaign will destroy the Peoples
party. We have no such apprefen
sions. Its principles are ri ght and be-
ing right they are immortal. In four
years they have taken possession OF
the Democratic party; and in four
weeks more they will take possession
of the nation. In 1892 we lad but one
million votes. On Nov. Sd, 1896, We
shall have majority Of the whole
! country. We have not become Demo
Gratis but the Democrats have, in the
broad sense of the word, become Popu-
= ulists. We have not given up our or-
ganization. We do not propose Il

class is about to graduate with honor
