The evening times., 1896-10-07

Now the time has arrived for the sup
port of the right OF the masses Of the People
against the entertainments of corporate
greed am glad 10 be numbered as one OF
the people That's my doctrine and am
with my party.
Party organizations are the necessary
agents by which and through which tho
people of tue United States can express their
sentiments and convictions Only through
their party can they make their impress on
the nation. There have been occasions as
now when patriotism requires nen to lc@ve
their party and stand against the corporate
powers in their encroachments upon the
rights Of the people.
ALWAYS A DEMOCRAT.
"Ihave al wa VS. bee ma Democrat, cOnserva-
tive by nature and conservative by cduca-
ton and one who has thought it best to 20
slow upon the question now hcfore the peo-
Pile But when we have submitted our
views TO the court of last resort of our
party at a great national convention, whose
delegates were elected by the people
and controlled by the people, there WAS
nothing left fer honest Democrats to do but
to bow 10 its decree. Now that our great
national convention has acted and has pre-
serted platform OF principles and has roniI-
mated candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency OF the people and for the people.
1t Is the duty of all Democrats 10 support
them.
Behind Bryan and for him. because of the
principles for which he stands. comes a band
of noble Republicans who believe that the
United Stares should control its own finan-
cial policy. This baud is led by = man from
Colorado. Senator Teller, and man from,
Nevada. Senator Stewart. Yes, give him
three cheers, because he was the foremost
and the one OF all the Republicans who STEP
ped TO the Democratic side. and Joined with
US in the Senate in saying that never should
Harrison and Mckinley force upon the pee
pie of the South that Infamous force blu
Three cheers for Stewart yelled
man in the audience, and they were given.
SUPPORT OF FTHEPoPULISTs
Then there came to our support an
other great body of patriotic people who
nominated Bryan for the Presidency-I
mean thJt.party known as the Populist
party. They gave him cordial support
because he stands for the rights OF the
people Against us is that great organi-
zation known as the Republican party"
Mark Hanna, you mean" interrupted
q voice.
Hes led by Hanna, run by Hanna, and
some say bought up by Hanna. But that
party. parting from the line 1t bad followed
since its creation in 1856, has been swept
away from the Interests OF the people,
AID has 10y its published DEGREES for the
first time in Its history subordinated it
SELF, forgotten its country and become the
tool OF the money changers in Lonf on.
1t has some aid aud confidence from NEE
who have for many years worn the mask
OF Democracy in order to get office and
position. There are soule such in Mary
land
They have played as reformers in the
Democratic party in the past, and led in
the movement for civil service and honest
government, and yet they voted to make
Lowndcs governor and wellington senator.
They naturany have followed the Doney
changers to whom they belong; they have
thrown off the ma SIX of Democrac cy and gone
to them.
LET THE REFoRMERS GO.
They will help Mckinley, who was the
leader in the House OF Representatives
which passed an Infamous tax bill, and will
follow Mckinley, who was instrumental
in dra wing the bill which, if passed through
Congress, would have put federal soldiers
at the polling places throughout the South.
Let all sucn 90. They are now precisely
where they belong, every mothers son OF
them. including the paper by that name.
1t and they have tried TO gibbet me as be-
longing to a trust, and now every enc OF
them belongs to a trust far more odious,
If that could be.
1T is said that the Republican party is
trying to buy the people. Well, this is
most remarkable campaign, and am glad
that it has come rs it has.
II want to see whether the American pcO-
pie have so dcgcnerated that they can be
bought If they can, then all republican
form of government is practically tan end.
1 was over in New York last week and 1

led one year ago by the cry for reform -Se

NEW REGISTRATION LAW.
"Those Republicans, with the aid of SCI
shell Democrats, asked for new registra-
ton law last spring, requiring every voter
to register this fall, and had it passed by
| the Maryland legislature, and secured a
| useless and bad law-oDe that imposed a
| hardship not necessary in the country dis
trcts at least. 1t required the voters to take
| at least half a day from their work to regis
| ter When l knew the bill had become a
the party this fall.
| .'But our honest and sturdy citizens have
! given their time and their means to over
conie the difficulty and they have done So
The result has convinced me where Mary
| land is"
Without money without assistance, the
people have registered. Each man has
helped his ncightor If this course is fol-
lowed until election day. think I know the
Maryland people well enough to say that all
the hostile agencies at work within theil
midst, all the corporations exercising theil
power in coercion, all the attempts Of rail!
prevent Maryland from casting her vote fol
