speech he replied to the remarks of If

In lS92. said he, "the American peo-
PIE witnessed the spectacle of The Dem
ocratic party meeting In its national
convention and despite the unanjmous
protests of New York State, nominating
nor hhe Presidency Of the United States
man repudia:ed by his own Comnp-n-
wealth. 1T was the bosses of the Dem
ocratic party who perpetrated this out
rage upon the rank and file of the Dem
ocratic masses During the succeeding
iour Years the friends OF Mr.. Cleveland.
Dy pond Issues and by other methods
abhorrent to the conscience of the pco-
pie, found their financial lesson was NOT
lost upon the bosses of the Republican
rl,ty
IN 1896 BOSSES who had dehauchad
the legislation of sovereign States and
. turned the legislatures of those States
into uhe cash registers for their own
schemes met together In a bosses pool
TO syndicate the Presidency Of tho
United States because ii was known

science OF the Democratic party had

Cleveland and Cleve,and!sm, the ReDub-
lican party in all human probability
would be victorious at the ensuing cleo
tion. So these bosses gathered together
TO syndicate the Presidency OF the
United States and at moment when
the masses of the Republican party al
most despaired of avertlrg this outrage
on ths%r lnr.y and this disgrace D., the
Republic there was one man who rose
up, man whom 1t is the delight OF the
Dep6cratlc party to denounce as a boss
man who by his bull dog courage and
his faith in the strenth and conscience
OF the masses of the Republican party
gave battle to these bosses and made
triumphant the Will of the masses OF the
Republican rarty, in the nomination OF
William Mckinley for President OF the
United States. (Applause on the Repub-
