PRODUCED to the crowd by II. L. Klutz,

member of the North Carolina delegation
who, in behalf of the Democrats of this
State, placed me in nomination Mt Chi
cago. (Applause) 1 am glad to meet
the people who made Mr.. Klutz II dele
gate to the convention. / am informed
that Andrew Jackson was n law student

leans. (Applause.) The principles for
which stand before the people arc the
principles taught by Jackson when he
was the idol, not of Democracy alone,
but of the great common people whom
he at all times defended. (Applause.)
When Jackson was President his greatest
fight was against the United States ma
tional banks.
''Those who were connected with that
great banking influence denounced him
and applied to him as abusive epithets
as.the money owning and changing class
applied to Thomas Jefferson before him,
and have applied to everyone since we
ship the golden calf. (Applause.) AT
that time all the monied influences of
this country were combined for his over
throw.
"Our opponents try to divide the toiling
masses and set the laboring men in oppo-
sition to the farmer. / warn laborers not
to desert the farmers, who have been the
friends of labor i'll every struggle to bet
ter their condition. The very people
who to-day are attempting to use labor
ing men to defeat the farmers in their
Just cause are the same people who have
oppressed labor from the beginning of
the world, and will do so again the mo-
ment they have the opportunity ZAP

Qaughter), and the campaign, instead of
being ended, is only fairly commenced.
Applause.) Sometimes the opposition
papers say people gather together from
idle curiosity a man has to have more
than idle curiosity to stand out in the sun
in such IL crowd as this to listen to n
speech
II was here two years ago and had a
chance to see great many of you, so it
was not necessary for you to come for the
purpose of seeing me. But I am glad to
speak to you about the paramount issues
of this campaign. The Democratic party
has taken position which is also the
position of the Populists and the free sill
yer Republicans against the issue of
bonds in times of peace and against the
trafficking with syndicates which save the
nation at so much per save from the ex-
tremities in which they themselves have
placed the Government for the purpose of
saving it again at a higher price. Gauph-
ter.)
"Our opponents go upon the theory that
these syndicates are able to bleed the peo-
pie without the people knowing it, At
least, they think before the people find it
out the syndicates will have made so
much they won't care to make any more.
1t reminds me of Il man down in the
swamp country who was troubled with
mosquitoes, but one of his friends said
that mosquitoes never troubled him be-
cause at night he was SO drunk that lie
didn't know the mosquitoes We're biting
and by morning the mosquitoes we're so
drunk that they didn't bite any more.
Uaughter.)
Our opponents seem to reason or that
plan. Instead of stating policy which
they believe to be. good for the American
people they contented themselves with
taking n step Mt a time and furnishing
A temporary remedy for disease which
they themselves have brought OH the pub
lie. am reminded of a story told on II
1octor. l don't want any doctors here to
take offense, because it was not doctor
N this town. The doctor was called to
isit a child and the child grew worse
Until finally its life was despaired of.
The doctor told the mother that nothing
'ould be done that was not worth while |
