Senator Caffery then, after sketching
the financial legislation Of the country,

speaker on one occasion termed the
mighty Nebraska orator and destroyer

PARRICIDAL DEMOCRACY.
In conclusion, Senator Caffery turned
toward General Palmer. and said: 'Sir.

standard OF our party. 1t waved over
jefferson and Jackson and Cleveland
and tt now waves over a distin guished
patriot who, in peace and IN war. has
signalized his devotion to his country.
Never before was the parrfcidal hand
of Democracy raised against the author
Of its existence-tile constitution. Never
before was It's suicidal hand raised
against its own existence. Democracy

common country, its noble constitution
and the party which has upheld both

the audience singing The Star Spangled
Banner"
