"The political situation of the country
is peculiar. We have had few parallels
to our present political condition. We
have but one political party which is
united and that is ours. (ApplaIse.)
Discord reigns in all others. Our time
honored opponent, the Democratic party,
is torn and divided. Two national con-
ventions have been held by it and two
national tickets presented, and their plat
forms are totally different on every sub
ject and in almost every section. The
Populst party has merged its organiza-
ton into that of the Chicago Demo
cratic and st. Louis silver organizations,
and their allies are for the most part
harmonious except that each one has
distinct and different candidate for vice
president. Great laughter and APP

never more closely united than now, both
in fact and in spirit, and there were
never better reasons for such union, and
never greater necessity for it than wv.
