eeutiyo committee OF the National demo-
cratic committee Issued the following TO-
night;
To the National Democracy, the Goiu
Democrats of the Umted States
-Four years ago your patriotic position
sn1ed the country from the peril OF Mr.
Rrvan's election. You were not deceived
by the plea OF regularity in his nom'na-
lion. You saw him truly as the nominee
OF a commission which had taken your
party name TO gid principles unknown
TO democracy.
You stood steadlastly by the financial
views and political philosophy OF Jeher-
son, Jackson Tilden and Cleveland In
your National convention AT indianapolis
/ Won declared that you had assembled
/ 10 uphold the principles upon which de-
pend the honor and welfare OF the Amer
/ lean people in order that the democrats
throughout the Union may unite their
patriotic efforts to avert disaster from
their country and ruin from their party
That convention said that the dem
ocratlc party has survived many defeats,
but could survive victory won in behalf
OF the doctrine and policy proclaimed
in Ats name at Chicago
You went firmly to your duty and did II
well, in the hope that there would be
no further attempt TO use your party
name as a mask to the abhorent prlnci-
plies advocated by Mr. Bryan In MS
defeat his misled supporters were ad-
monished and chastened to an extent
which turned them away from che path
TO which he allured them. The Kansas
City convention was averse 60 reafhrma-

jerlty OF its delegates honestly hoped lc
: save the party OF the vicious heresie;
which had lost 1t the respect ana coma

mower of his organization and by reasoi
OF tho hope for success born In his prio
tncnnnation by the populists, Mr.. Bryan
: prevailed against the better sense OF TIT
convention, compelled Endorsement OF tn
: false doctrines OF 1896 and by the vote
of Alaska and Hawaii forced the speech
