Gentlemen aud fellow. Democrats
Of Maryland-l assure YOU | feel as
well as any man could the distinguish
ed honor you have offered me in max
ing me temporary chairman of this
Convention. ! am always at home
with Democrats (applause,) and es-
pecially so with this organization in
the truest and hest that
ever faced common enemy. When
our party is in distress, then it is the
lime to show the true principles of our
party as they have existed from the
lime of Jefferson down to Grover
Cleveland. applause
EMBERs OF THE PAST.
I'VE come together to-day not to
ieal in local questions and differences
If opinion. would not give much
or the Democracy of any man who
would rake over the embers of the
,ast when we are to face the enemy,
ed by Mckinley. would say to
very man who is opposed to depriv-
nc States of their rights. TO every
nan who is opposed to Capitalization /;
would say to every man, no matter
What his former position may have
'een, come forward now and help
o combat the host who passed the
Force bill and the Mckinley bill.
I'VE are to send too Chicago dele
rates TO represent our sentiments.
There should be but one sentiment
lmong them. Whatever mistakes the
Democrats make; whatever mishaps
nay happen 10 the platform, we should
Ilways remember it is the party of the
'eople. and il is always better than
he party of Reed and Mckinley.
No DEBAsISG THE CURRENCY.
Temporary cyclones pass over the
,ariy as over the face OF the earth,
nut we, in Maryland, have never re.
undated our debts nor assisted in
lebasing the currency of our country.
Now, gentlemen, again thanking
Iou for the honor you have offered
ne, am ready for any motion tend
ne TO the conduct Of business"
