] was brought up in the school of
Sta'0 rights Democracy and was
lighting It's battles against the COM
buanons of carpet baggers and rail-
road piunderers, who were looting
the State Treasury in 1868, when
some Of my assailants were being
reared upon the spoils. When / re-
trcd from the bench at the begin
niug OF this year it was my purpose
TO dovote my time and energies to
the cstabllshment of n remunerative
practice. Because | dared to run
aside from this purpose to do battle
for tho people against an arrogant
corporation, which was then, and is
now, trying to control the State gov
eminent, 1 am threatened with ex-
communlcatlon from my party by its
servants and hirelings. The un-
h.ushing effrontry of the Southern
Eulway Company and the scribblers
who do its bidding, has never before
been so striklngly exhibited than in
its Efforts to shape the policy and
name the leaders of the Democratic
party, while it is claiming control of
! the Republican patronage at Wash
'ington. as reward for its princely
contributions to Hanne's campaign
''iund in 1896.
| stand by and re-ailirm every line
and letter of the Chicago platform,
and invite the true Democrats of the
State to recur TO the fundamental
principles of Jtffersonian Democ.
racy therein announced. | propose
TO light inside the ranks and under
the banner of the Democratic party,
and to urge all who subscribe to the
chicago platform, as the true creed
OF the party, to begin the work of re-
organization for the next campaign
10y oXpelling from the council cham
Der ot It's executive committee every
member who cannot stand trial by
Tue party touch stone of fidelity to
the principles therein declared. The
committee must be purged of un-
faithful men, not only OF those, who,
alter acting as spies for the South
eru hallway Company and helps for
Hanna, voted for Mckinley, but of
those who scratched the Bryan tick
ct, and above all, of a third class,
who voted for Bryan, but secretly
rreJnced at the election of Mckinley.
INIT, the governing body of the
party IS purged its leaders can never
stand up as did Vance, rs the high
priest Of his people in 1876, and say
Tor themselves and those whom they
represent. These hands are clean"
My quarrel is with such members of
the committee as retain the post of
heImsmao with the design of wreck
ing the ship-not with the straight
tjrward men, like Mr.. Caldwell, who
uec.lned unanimous election as a.
memHer of the central committee,
because he foresaw the probability
mat he might refuse to support the
uckot agreed upon.
