Dir Chairman, Ladies' and Gentlemen,
Fellow Democrats, All:
With the inspiring strains of the ma
tional song still ringing in our ears who
can doubt the issueqt this campaign? That
issue has been well stated by your presid
ing officer. Stripped. as he says, of all
verbal Disguise it is an issue of common
honesty, an issue between the honest dis
charge and the dishonest repudiation Of.
public and private obligations. 1t is d
question as to whether toe powers of t.ais
government shall bcuscd to protect honest
industry or to tempt the citizen TO dishon
esty.
On this question honest men cannot
differ. 1t is one Of morals and OF justice.
1t involves the existence Of social order. 1t
is the contest for civilization itself. II 1T
be disheartening to Democrats and to low
ers Of free institutions to find an issue OF
this character projecting into presidential
campaign, this meeting furnishes us with
All Inspiring truth OF how that issue will
be met by tho people. a Democratic col
yention mhy fenouncc tnc Democratic
faith, but the Democracy remains faithful
to Democratic principles. Democratic

But there was one statement in that
speech which was very free from ambiguity,
pregnant with hope and confidence to the
lovers of order. He processes his unqucs-
toned belief in the honesty Of the Ameri-
cnn masses, and he quoted Abraham Lin
coin in support of the faith that was in
him. Well, / do not believe that the faith
OF Abraham Lincoln was ever more sig
niticantly justified than in the appearance
which. Mr. Bryan presented upon this plat
form III the change that has come over tho
spirit and the tone of Populistic eloquence
since tho Chicago convention
We all must remember that lurid rhet-
oric which glowed as iicrccly in the west
ern skies as that sunlight:whlch through
the past week forctold the torrid heat Of
