TRIUMPHANT.

Senator Daniel Points the Way Ia
Ultimate success-Urges Democrats
to Persevere In Behalf Of the
People.
Senator John W. Daniel Of Virginia
is sturdy Democrat Of the Jensrsonian
type. His eloquent voice is always raised
on the side Of the people, and during
the campaign which has just closed it.
ringing accents have been heard all over
the land. It is due in large measure
to the jealous campaign work Of Sena
tor Daniel that such a splendid victory
for the Democratic cause was achieved
In the Old Dominion.
Without mourning over the defeat Of
the party in the nation, Senator Daniel
speaks a word Of encouragement and
good cheer He urges the Democrats OF
the country to persevere in the good
work which they have undertaken in be.
half Of the people, and, instead Of
broodiDg over the defeat of November
8, to press forward to the browning
triumph Of Democracy which awaits the
party on the bsttlefelds Of the future.
Says the able Virginia senator in
speaking Of the recent campaign:
The party was overthrow two years ago by
an unprecedented majority and started this
campaign handicapped by an administration
which had gone into partnership with Its enc.
mics. Notwithstanding this, 1t has made de.
cided gains In congress, and, considering that
the Bryanites' great leader fought against
wind and tide, T" the result Is the most marvel.
Gus achievement Of American politics. The
wisdom Of the Democrats in the nomination OF
Bryan has been indicated. he has compelled
the respect Of his foes, endesred the hearts Of
his friends and upheld our cause with tireless
energy, noble eloQuence and unanswsrable
logic. he Is today the foremost citizen Of
Amsrica-"hrst In peace and first In the
hearts Of his oountrymen."
Every true Democrat in the land will
indorse the praise which Senator Daniel
bestows upon our courageous leader.
With a genius rarely equaled by any Of
the great men who have preceded him
and love Of country which rises su.
preme above every thought Of selfish.
ness, no cause was ever blessed with a
grander or purer champion than William
]. Bryan.
With respect to the victory achieved
by the Republican party in the last cleo.
tion Senator Daniel observes:
Every autocrat and every plutocrat in Eu.
rope is today rejoicing over McKinley's vic
tory, and well they may, for it was European
and not an American victory. 1t cannot man.
ufacture prosperity out Of higher taxes and
less money, and its promise to promote inter.
national bimetallism is predestined to failure.
All Of its pledges will prove Dead sea fruit,
and when their fallacy is exposed Democracy
will rise again triumphant.
During the next four years the people
of this country will be- given fair op.
portunisy to test the principles Of the
Republican party. That the party Of
the money power will be able to restore
this nation to its former condition Of
prosperity is pledge which the Repub.
licans have made in the late campaign.
Unless the party succeeds in making its
promises good during the next four years
the doom of Belshazzar will be pro.
nounced not only upon the single gold
standard, but upon the hopes Of the Re.
publican party in the nation. Atlanta
