Mr. RAIDERS SPEECH.
Mr.. Chairman, feIicw-citizens Of
Charlton county:
/ did not suppose you would be
quite cruel enough to ask 4 man TO
make 4 speech on as hot day as
this is to as hot 4 crowd as this is,
but / am 4 Democrat, and the Demo-
cratic party has never yet at any tine
called on me for my labor that / did
not undertake to perform 1t, however
imperfect it might have been dore.
/ say to you, gentlemen, now that /
congratulate the Republican party on
one thing, and one thing only, and
that is that they have ceased to- be. n
deceiver of the people. For thirty
years, at least for twenty years, they
have been the rich mans party. For
thirty years they have been the party
OF the classes, and for the first time in
their history have We been, able to
make them declare themselves square
ly as the rich mans party. EApplauseh
For the first time in their history have
they had the courage to ccme out and
adopt u platform that is a. rich mans
platform from start to end (Applause).
And l say l congratulate the RepUbh-
can party one time in their history for
being honest in their expression. |
al5o say that congratulate them upon
one other thing, and that thing IS that
they have made more emphatic our
claim that We are the party Of the
common people. (Applause). l say to
you now, gentlemea- that the Sight that
is to be settled within the next four or
five months is to be igh; between
the toilling millions and the plutocrats
Of these United States and Of the world,
and as for me. DO what YOU Will, i am
on the side of the common people.
(Applause). l say this gentlemen,
that / want the platform adopted At
Chicago to contain somewhat the
same words that it had in 1892. I
