lished, entitled "John Sherman's Re
collections" YOU will find on page 112,
of the first volume, a portion of
speech which he delivered in Congress
i'll 1859. Let me read this extract: i
am willing to stand by the compro-
misses of 1920 and 1850; but when our
white brethren of the South allow
this administration TO lead them off
from their principles, when they aban-
don the position on it which
Henry Clay would have taken, forget
his name and achievements and decline
any longer to carry his banner they
lose all their claims on me. And |
say now that until this wrong is
righted, until Kansas is admitted as
free State, L cannot act in party as
sociation with them
There was the distinguished Senator
from Ohio asserting to the people of
this countryo on the floor of Congress
that he was willing to accept compro-
mise after compromise, but that the
time had at last come when he could go
with them no longHr; that until GER
tain things were accomplished he could
not act with them The situation to-
day is but a repetition of history. Com
promise after compromise has been
submitted to by the Republicans in
the hope that the party of their choice
and love would at least bring to the
people the relief which they desired.
but the Republican party, like that
party in 1865, has been led off by an
administration until it has deserted it's
traditions and it's platform. We will go
with you no longer until this nation
is redeemed
I'VE do not ask those who present
this nomination to pledge their future
services to the Democratic party. The
same intelligence which directs them
to-day in the discharge of this duty
will be with them four years from now
to direct them in the discharge of the
duties that will then arise. The same
patriotism that leads them to-day in
| what. they do will he with them four
years from now TO guide and direct
them. We trust them now; we shall
| trust them then. The Democratic par
/ ty has proven itself worthy of their
| confidence to-day. and it receives their
| support. If four years from now It
/ proves unworthy of their confidence,
| it should not then have their support.
| GIGANTIC MONEY TRUST.
| 1--WE are confronted to-day by the
| most gigantic trust that has ever been
| formed among men. Talk about trusts
/ in various articles we produce. All
| these trusts together fall into insignifi-
| canoe when compared with the money
| trust which has it's hands upon our
country. Place the control of the
| standard money of the world in the
| hands of few great financiers and
times will be good for them, no matter
| what distress may overtale the rest of
/ mankind. / believe that John G.. Car

human race than alf the wars. Pestsr
| lence and famtnes that ever 0aeurred
in the history Of the world Who does

as that? Who among you is willing to

summation of this scheme, so eloquent

support which they have rendered.
and all that | can promise is that |
