able Democratic convention in Chicago,
in adopting its splendid platform and
nominating William j. Bryan for the
presidency, was actuated by an impulse
or by a purpose. The magnificent
achievements at Kansas City have set
tied all possible doubt on that subject.
The platform adopted not only re-enacts
the principles of 1896 but in language
whose force, dignity and beauty have
never been equalled in a similar docu-
ment, responds to the new issues pre-
sented in the growth of the trust monop-
oily and the imperialistic policy OF the
administration. by an appropriate enun-
citation of those sublime doctrines Of hui
man rights and liberties whose profess
sion and observance have been the Pc
culiar 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
committed to that tried and trusted
hand whose grasp has never weakened.
which no fear can make to falter and
no burden can dismay. The leadership
of Bryan, which could have redeemed a
bad platform, SanctifieS a good one. It
made memorable an unsuccessful con-
test; it will crown a victory with imper-
ishable splendor-
With every sentiment of respect and
gratitude,I remain, most sincerely yours,
