Lynch was loudly applauded. He said he
had difficulty in finding words in which
to express his congratulations, and
evidently not noticing that that was
not just the word he intended, he pro-
cesded to speak as follows:
GEN. LYNCH'S SPEECH.
One would be indeed ungrateful not
to acknowledge in the most heartfelt
manner his full appreciation of an honor
such al you have conferred upon me this
day. accept your nomination, gentle
men but with a feeling that your kindly
action has Outweighed your Judgment
am not vain enough to imagine that
you have selected me for what / NAV be.

principles [ retain.
Always a Democrat, feeling that my
party is greater than the individuals that
it is of the people and for the Dlople

dorse fully our different platforms, and
stand firmly by those too tried and
honest friends OF the people, Bryan and
Stevenson.
The Democratic convention at Kansas
City has defined clearly the issues of the
campaign OF 1900.
Both through it's nominees and its plat
form of principles, it made it's purpose
clear to champion the cause of the people,
to battl9 Tor human rights and to check
the manifest tendency toward the
odious policy OF imperialism. No bet
ter representatives of these sound Demo-
cratic doctrines could have been selected
The paramOunt issue of the campaign
is the question Of Imperialism. The
American people have reached the con-
olusion, evidently, that greater danger
menaces the very form and structure of
their government. II this country can
cover alien races outside the provisions
of the Constitution, it can abolish the
constitutional guarantees at home.
IT it can send armies into foreign lands
to subjugate the people, it can employ
the same armies to coerce the men who
murmur and protest against the desbruc-
tion of republican institutions or their
subordination to the trusts and syndi-
Gates.
Once the foundation is loosened, the
fall of the structure is inevitable. In
satiable greed for wealth has led to the
creation OF vast aggregatiOns or combi-
nations Of capitalists, who prey upon in
dustry at home, and have forced the Pres
ident to enter upon O policy of foreign
conquest which, If pursued, must culmi-
nate in che overthrow of the republic and
in the setting up of the monarchy
This powerful oligarchy owns and con-
trolls the national government as. it was
at present constituted; it owns and con-
trolls state legislatures and other public
age lcies OF government.

vast navies If it's power should be perpe-
tuated by the reelection of William Nc
KinIey, there would be no limit to the
extent Of its encroachments upon popular
liberty.
Against these foes and perils of the
nation, Mr., Bryan stands as the peoples
chosen champion. He stands for the

has been addressed by the Washington

Hoar of Massachusetts,, expressing

the letter reads:
"As public man we have the right to
criticise your public actions, so as we

from it to follow you into your lately
chosen path of certain ignominy. The
anti-imperialists have not left you; you
have left Jhem.'
