rank treason was discovered, Washington
and his followers refused to follow such

according to the cry of our friends at Chi
cage, Washington and the patriots Of the
revolution were boilers.
Mr.. Chairman. the democratic party
cannot ever indorse the heresies Of the Chi
cago platform. We proclaim now, as we
proclaimed at Indianapolis, the ancient prin-
ciples OF democracy, obedience to law, a
court untrammeled either by legislative or
the last resort Of the weak against the
powerful. That which our friends at Chi
cago would destroy, We insist on unfolding
ana supporting Its decree by the whole
We believe In the Jefersonian doctrine Of
equal and exact justice to all. and exclusive
privileges to none.
I'VE insist that for every 100 cents worth
OF work done by the laborer he shall re-
cefve a dollar worth 100 cents. We advo-
cate the freest possible trade. and we insist
that the commerce of the world shall be
brought to our ports In free ships untaxed
for the benefit of any special interest in this
country. These were the fundamental doc
trtnes of democracy we proclaimed, and
over that the flag of democracy waves as
proudly as ever in the hours Of victory.
(Applause)

launching of the cutter Gresham at Cleve-

facts connected with the maintenance of
the vessel on the lakes are not new, and

No protest has been made by the British
government. and although the British Of
fcials have kept themselves fully advised
as to the character of the vessel none ia
expected. The authorities here assert that
the Gresham Is not in any sense q war yes

small machine gun equipment placed on ali

than match in this respect for the two
new Canadian revenue cutters launched
last year.

In reply to recent letter of inquiry from
Joseph B. Mayer of Buffalo as to the atti

has made his position plain in the follow

'"The proceedings of the Chicago con-

dominated it's course. The guiding, and,
in a large measure, the controlling, spirits

possible to engraft Upon the statutes of
this country the Objectionable and dis
astrous Mckinley law. When before were

the opportunity to earn any kind of dollar
