i tully realize That the uprising OF the
great Silver Republican, Democratic and
PopuMst parties gives evidence that the
people are entering upon an advanced
battle for liberty and human equity.
Many whose faces see here today have
met on battlehelds of the past, as antag-
onists. You have Withdrawn from tine
Aepupncan party not 1or selnsh reasons
but Tor patriotic reasons; because you
place the interest OF your country ABOVE
that or your party we OF the Democratic
party have not been less patriotic for the
past TOUR years. The d1nerence is only the
extent to which you succeeded In your
p party and the success we received in our
party. we were Obliged to night TOR the
same principles which drove you from
your party. 1t would seem that voting
Tor the principles OF Abraham Llncoln you
were the true Republicans
Party organizations must ever be sus-

never sleep.
"a new uprising Of the people of this coun-
try has come-not from one party, but from
three parties. They have had the good
sense not to divide their forces and invite
defeat, but to combine, and I am proud
that the representatives OF these three par
ties have united upon me as their standard
bearer on account OF my past record IN
public service. 1 Will endeavor in the fu-
ture to keep my record as clean as In the
past thank you sincerely for your conf
