When General Ihllnef was lh1rouuceu
he was received with almost Foellerous
applause lie spoke IN part hs follows:
Il um here this evening IN the attltute
OF candidate for the presidency OF the
United states Less thah month ago
as llttle expected to address ms audience
ms any member OF 1t expected TO listen TO
me AT indianapolis met very large
number OF Democrats, men VINO are IN
earnest, who believe Ill Democratic prlh-
ciples' They drafted me, and then
volunteered l undertook to enter into
this contest, and to do what l could to
insure success TO the cause of that great
purity. l did not then believe that there
was single delegate to tho convention
that expected that would be- or could
be, elected to the presidency
1.-The convention whscomposea OF stern,
rcsolute men They were tho Democrats
of lb92 who contributed their efforts to the
election of that honest, manly Democrat,
the rOnVhntlOn
ity patriotism and courage with which
President Cleveland has fulfilled his great
public trust will secure to him u place in
history beside the fathers OF the republic
'Thc delegates to the Indianapolis con-
venton were Democrats, not Republicans
or Populists. After they saw the WORK OF
tho chicago convention they h'ta no 'urther
hope, and felt constrained to announce to
the country that the declaration OF bhat
convention attacks Individual freedom,
the rightof private contract the indepeh-
dence OF the Judiciary and the authority
OF the president TO enforce laaeral laws
They advocate democracy to increase the
price OF silver by legislation, to the de-
basement of our monetary standard, and
threaten unlimited issues OF paper money
By tho government. Ihey Abandoned TO
-NS'''""'-'''N
cause Of tariff reform to court the favor OF
| protectionlsts In view OF thelr poltical
heresy ana other grave departures from
DemGcratlc principles We cannot support
the candidates or That conVehtlon' nor DO
bouhu bylts acts'
ut Will be seen that tho convention was
! no5 composer OF Democrats VINO would
first vote the ticket and then read the plat
fEApIFt NfA1s "a ~
| tlcular typo or Democrats VINO seemed 10
| flourish with SO much Vlgof IN inns nople
| state OF New York 1t would not be pos
sible for any delegate to that convention
| to vote for the candidates nominated IN
Chicago and reject the platform as un-
sound and dangerous.
| The chicago convention was regularly
called, and if it had adhered to the talth
| of the fathers the organization Whlch
represent would have been entirely un-
necessary. Thousands OF us who resist its
| action do SO only because it was perfectly
| false to Democratic principles,
"No Democrat can objectto tho condem-
nation of tho Chicago platform OF arbitrary
| interference by federal authorities IN local
| affairs, The real meaning OF the Chicago
| declaration Is well understood to have
been lntentei as III ihuoroeHheio vi oho
! governor Of Illinois and condemnation
of the president for acts which were unan-
| imously approved by the senate of tho
United States and were strictly in CON
formity with his duty as the chief magis-
trate of the republic
"The Chicago platform declares and rec
| ognizes that the money question Is para
mount to all others at this time. We in
vite attention to the fact that the federal
constitution named silver and gold to-
| gether as the money metals IN the United
States, and that the first coinage laws
passed by congress under the constitution
made the silver dollar the monetary unit
and admitted gold to FREQ coinage upon
the original basis by the silver dollarunit'
| This language commends the convention,
its candidates and their supporters 10 thc
distinct definite measure OF the coinage
of the silver dollar OF 4lsA grains OF
standard silver, with unlimited legal tell
der qualities. One of these declarations
