The Revolt of Democracy.
Gentlemen, the Democratic revolt
against the ticket nominated az Chicago
and the platform there adopted is of great
| significance. 1t means a great deal for a
man to turn his back upon a nomination
Of his party. 1t is next to leaving home
and breaking the ties of home: as strong a
strain, it seems to me. almost, as can be
put upon man. No man does it without
good cause; and no man living can i'm
peach the motives of the sound money
Democrats Of the United States who are
in rebellion against Bryan and SewaI or
BRYAN and Watson. Applause. Nothing
but patriotism could have prompted their
action; and it is a hopeful sign, that in
campaigns involving So much as this, men
are to be found in such vast numbers and
/ of so great Iame who will leave party and
do their utmost 10 defeat what in their
judgment is against the public interest. So
| say all honor to the sound money Demo-
Gratis Of Wisconsin, Illinois and other
states Applause. Four years from now
/ they will be the leaders of a reorganiZed
Democratic party; and they Will have won
50 much Of confidence, | fear, by their
patriotism Of to-day that it will require
our utmost efforts to prevent their delud-
ing the people on the question of free
trade. they did in 1892 TApplause.l
Why this revolt, gentlemen? 1t was be-
cause the convention at Chicago adopted a
platform which is a masterpiece of infamy.
| lApplausel There are three planks in
that platform, everyone of which is sufIi-
cient TO condemn it. l wish to bring to
your attention one of its declarations; l.
is this: To all intents and purposes that
there is no power in the president of the
United States, even with the congress of
the United States behind him. to enforce
the laws of the United States, and protect
the property Of the United States within
in his letter. Of ac,a7,r,,,cn dolls a. Io,,.+b
