BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Aug. "A hearty
welcome was given A Z. Stevenson on his
arrival here at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
A big crowd gathered al the Union Station.
Carriages carried the party of the Demo-
cratic vice presidential candidate, return
ing from Minnesota to prepare for the
campaign, to Franklin square, where, just
across the street from the Stevenson home,
was the speakers stand Judge Lawrence
Weldon welcomed Mr.. Stevenson and eulo-
gized his life and career in a speech of
twenty minutes. Mr.. Stevenson replied in
part as follows:
"All that genius i'm ages past has contrib
uted to the worlds treasury of knowledge
to whatever tends to human comfort and
TO the lessening of human distress-dwin-
dies in the presence of the wondrous
achievements of the nineteenth century.
The all-important inquiry now is: What
of the future? What of the night? What
the perils that may lie along the pathway
of the century on which we are soon to
enter? The future danger of the Republic
is not from foreign foes, as during the
first two decades. nor along sectional lines
as at a later period OF our history but
with the multiplication and increase of in
dividual fortune-thus emphasizing the dis
lance that separates their possession
from the toiling millions: with the
rapid augmentation of aggregated wealth
and the murmurings and unrest that
follow as night and day with
the influx and growth of an element
whose principle in action Is the destruction
of the safeguards of law and of constitu-
tions; with the rapid increase in every field
or endeavor OF appliances which merciless-
ly dispense with the labor of human hands
and with population pressing upon means
of subsistence, who can doubt that from
all these may spring dangers to society, to
the state. unknown to the first century of
our history?

century upon which are soon to enter
Will rest, not upon its material wealth, its
physical power nor its splendor but upon
the conservatism, intelligence, the virtue
the lofty patriotism of all the people. At

asSemoage, everywhere throughout this
broad land, let there be inculcated a SUBJ
lime love of country, a veneration for gov
eminent, for law, for justice-for all that
1t has cost our race the toll and sacrifice of
centuries to achieve. In the highest and
grandest sense let there be taught venera-
ton for the memory of our fathers-the
builders of the Republic"
