II have but another word to the many
old Democrats for whom L have nothing
but good will. Don't follow these conspir-
ators. They are not OF you. They have
usurped a place in your great national
convention at Chicago. They have aban-
doned your principles. Where are the
great men of your party to-day? Where
are your old leaders? A reign of new men
is over you. VIII you submit TO II?

ACTION WAS NOT DEMOCRATIC.
This resolution of the Chicago conven-

more do you want than this? What more
can any party do?
their lifelong associates in power dis
trust and .denounce them. The nave aban-
uonec their company. They hold them to
be the most dangerous enemies of the peo-

they do know them. The greatest men of
the Democracy denounce them as ignorant.
as devoid of principle. as the enemies of
the prosperity or the Nation, as a d~isreput-

methods of the Chicago convention. Let
