 Consistency and candor in politics. ~there- fore, my own self respect proper deference to the Peoples party and a sincere regard for the welfare of the cause of political reform in the United States, all counsel that I now respectfully replace in your hands the honorable trust which your great party committed to me in contemplation of a different complexion of affairs than that which has resulted.
 Feels Confident
 Tn conclusion, l may be permitted to express the profound satisfaction which feel in contemplating the present attitude of the. Democratic party. In 1896 I was one of those who keenly felt the recreancy of the Republican party were much in doubt whether the memorable Democratic convention at Chicago in adopting its splen- did platform and nominating William J. Bryan for the Presidency was actuated by an impulse or by purpose. The magni- ficent achievements at Kansas City have settled all possible doubt on that subect The platform adopted not only reflects the principles of 1896 but in language whose force, dignity and beauty have never been equaled in similar document, responds to the new issues presented in the growth of the trust monopoly and the imperialistfc policy of the administration by appropri- ate enunciation of those sublime doctrines of human rights and liberties whose pro- fession and observance have been the peculiar glory of our country and are the sure basis of the ultimate happiness of mankind. And again, the duty of carry ing the banner of the cause has been com mitted to that tried and trusted hand whose grasp has never weakened, which no fear can make to falter and no burden can dis may The leadership of Bryan which could have redeemed a bad platform, sanctifies a good one It made memorable an unsuc- cessful contest It will crown a victory with imperishable splendor.
 With every sentiment of respect and gratitude, remain,
 Most sincerely yours,
 CHARLES A. TOWNE."
