THE DEMOCRACY is UNDISMAYED.
Ex Governor Stone, of Missouri, vice
chairman of the Democratic campaign
committee, speaks as follows of the
party's defeat and what should be it's
future policy:
THE battle Is over. The Democratic
party OF the country accepts the result
without complaining as in duty bound.
1t signifies but little now TO analyZe the
influences as to the cause that brought
about the result. There will be wide
divergence OF opinion as TO that. This
| will say, however, that the Demo
cratic party must stand and will stand,
undismayed in defense OF the constltu.
tion and for the preservation unim-
paired of our constitution. a colonial
policy would be destructive OF the re-

fort to establish it. l have always
favored the annexation, in proper
way, of the islands aG jacent TO our
coast, but have opposed the anne xation
OF q large domain Ia the eastern hemis
phere for reasons fully stated during
the campaign.
'"The Democratic party must stand
firm in the defense OF the constitution
while at the same time it should take
an advanced and progressive position
looking to the development and prOtec-
tion Of our maritime and commercial
interests. The Missouri Democratic
platform of 1893 expressed my views On
the political questions OF the day.
Those questions are for future discus-
sion, however: all | say now is what
have said mo ! times before, that the
Democratic party must be Affirmative
and progressive as well as aggressive.
'Mr. Bryan made a great fight. He
Ia one of the most remarkable men Of
history. He may never be president,
but whether In politics or private life
no man will hold d more commanding
place, and none will be capable of ex
erting a greater II fluence for public
good. May God bless him."

demagoguery Of the campaign OF tn
