lost their patriotism and love of coun-
try, this ought to be a Democratic
year. The position of the two old par
ties has left no other alternative Ter
every patriot than to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket" The speaker anathena-
tized Mckinley and the st. Louis plat
form and started in upon a lengthy
eUlogy of Bryan and the Chicago plat
form when he was interrupted by calls
OF time" and name your candidate.
The chairman also called attention TO
the fact his time had expired. Above
the roar of interruptions, however, he
shouted: Mckinley is the tool of the
corporations, while Bryan is a man of
the people If no mistake is made here
this afternoon the entire Democratic
legislative ticket in this county will be
elected. I have the honor to place be
fore you for the nomination of state
