The conservative and patriotic deolar-
alton of the indianapolis convention on
the public questions involved in the pend
ing contest and the high character Of its
nominees cannot fail to arouse the real
Democratic sentiment of the country and
command the hearty support of all who
sincerely believe in the preservation of
public honor and public peace and the
stability and value of the currency used
by our people. I am proud to take my
stand with the old fashioned Democrats
who have refused to abandon their honest
convictions in order to form unnatural
alliances with political and social organ
izations whose purpose is danger to the
country and wholly Inconsistent with
the fundamental principles of our party,
and pledge to you and your associates
such support and assistance as I can
properly give during the campaign.
