Colonel Ingersoll-Imagine sitting in

give a patriot the nightmare. Let us
stand by Mckinley. Anothed thing:
Won y pya oct IN rhnnSn hot wnpp n1r-
ties. And You choose between parties
rs you do between men. Parties have
characters. You have got to choose
between the republican party and the
new democratic party. Oh | forgot the
third party-yes: Palmer and Buckner.
OLaughter.) Too good to veto for Bry-
an. but not quite sensible enough to
vote for Mckinley.
MR.. PALMER'S POSITION.
Brother Palmer is a kind of decoy
duck tlaughter). while his running
mate is a stool pigeon, ana they say,
we want to beat Bryan; vote for us"
And some fellow in the crowd says, DO
you expect to be clected?" "Oh, no; we
are just running to catch the vote OF
TO vote according to their w judy
ment, according to their conscience.
We want to catch a few petrifactions
| laughter) that want to stick to the
democratic party so as to have it on
their tombstones. (LaughtcI.) why,
do you expect to be electcd?" No"
Then of course o want Mckinley
elected And poor old Palmer will
have to say yes, and hen the man in
the crowd will say. why the devil
don't you vote for him, them" (Laugh-
teri l think the sound-money demo-
Gratis in this country have sense enough
to vote their sentiments. l think they
have patriotism enough to stand by the
country, to stand by honest money.
And they will not follow Mr.. Palmer,
either. Let them vote the republican
ticket.
In 1861 hundreds of thousands OF
democrats held country above party
and came to the defense OF Lincoln's
administration. In 1896 we expect hun.
dreds and hundreds Of thousands OF
good democrats to come to the D
of Mckinley and honest money.
The new democratic parry is worse
than the old, and that is saying a good
deal for me. The new democratic par
tV with ifS p11ioS tho p0rrIietc ,rI tho
socialists. represent the follies, the mis-.
takes, and the a%bsurdities of a thou
sand years. They are in favor of ev-
erything that cannot be done. What
ever is is wrong. They think creditors
are swindlers, and debtors who refuse
to pay their debts are honest men.
Good money is bad and poor money is
good. A promise is better than a per,
Torrance. They desire to abolish facts,
punish success, and reward failure.
They are worse than the old. And yet
| want to be honest. | am like the old
Dutchman who made a speech in Ar
kansas. He said: Ladies and gem
tlemen, l must tell you the truth.
There are good and bad in all parties
except the democratic party and in the
democratic there is bad and worse"
And l want to be honest. There are
hundreds and thousands OF good, pa
triotic democrats that hole country
above party, and they will vote for Nc
Kinley.
And there are many thousands of
them in the State of Illinois that will
vote for John R. Tanner. (Applause.)
We want a man for governor of this
state h a is in favor of sound money.
We want a man that is in favor of pro-
lection. We want a man or whom we
can rely. We want no socialist. no
dreamer, no schemer, no man that rises
by decefving others. No, sir.
REPUBLICAN PARTY IS SAFE.
You have got to choose between par
ties. The republican party has been
tried in peace and war, and the his
tory of the republican party is the
glory of the great republic tApplause.)
The republican party has tie enthusi-
asm of youth and it has the wisdom Of
age. and besides that it has the genius
of administration. Stick to the repub-
lican party. 1t has saved the life Of this
nation. 1t kept our country on the map
of the world. 1t kept our flag in the
air. 1t made our country free, and this
n fact fills all the heavens with light.
