ever they have been put to the test.


That party's members have been
denounced by the vociferous orators
Of the opposition as anarchists, dough
faces, copperheads and traitors.
1t has required great moral courage
for the friends of the Democratic
party to Withstand the unworthy as
saults Of their opponents, but the forti-
tude with which they have met the
shameless cry of anarchy and the
flrmness and temperate manner with
which they have presented their own
arguments has been a splendid tribute
to their citizenship.
The application Of vicious epithets
to large body of the people who hold
1t to be their right to exercise freedom
Of action in determining the policies
Of the government is a matter that
may well be resented by the people at
the polls tomorrow.
For reply to this imputation that the
friends Of Mr.. Bryan are anarchists,
we need but quote Judge William j.
Gaynor, one of the leading members
of the Supreme bench of New York,
who says:
"Such free use of the term anar-
chist is likely to provoke the inquiry
whether, for instance, the compare
lively few who have in generation
or less amassed, and who are now
amassing, vast inflated fortunes out
of the public by the issue of untold
millions of fraudulent bonds and stocks
upon public privileges and franchises,
to pay interest and dividends upon
which a proportionate tribute is
levied upon nearly every community
In this whether they are not
the Anarchists, the endangerers Of our
institutions and social order, instead
of those who think it wholesome and
wise that such a state Of things and
the unrest and decentralization caused
by 1t should not continue.
"There is no jealousy against wealth
In this country. On the contrary,
those who accumulate wealth, how
ever great, in any legitimate calling,
professional, mechanical, agricultural,
mercantile or other, are subjects of
emulation and honor. This is true Of
every locality. 1t Is wealth got by
this means and by that, by trick and
device, out OF the public by means OF
public franchises, and of laws devised
for the aggrandizement of the few at
the expense of the many, which Is un-
der the ban Of the splendid intelligence
and moral sense Of the people Of this
country"
The fear of n sudden reverse, the
danger of being robbed Of Its spoils
have reused the party of the trusts tc
realization Of the just rebuhe 1t has
invited at the hands OF the people
and in the present contest it has made
some grotesque efforts to lull the peo
pie to the sleep of contentment. The
full dinner pail' and red fire argu
ments are only n part Of the methods
that have made the party the jest ant
contempt of intelligent men.
1t is to be hoped that the voters o
the country, all those whose intelli
gence has been offended by being th
subjects to which these superficial ant
presumlng arguments" have been ad
dressed, will so vote tomorrow tina
for the future no political party will
ever dare make its appeal for supper
upon the presumption that the Amerl
can citizen Is all stomach; creatur
lacking intelligence and all the ele
ments Of good citizenship.
And let us hope that after tomorrow
no party viii again find 1t popula
to permit it's leaders to sneer at tn
Declaration of Independence, or to as
sumo that they are not bound by til
provisions Of the Constitution.
For when the constitution become
inadequate TO meet the requirement
Of the nation, let 1t be amended b.
the vote of all the people.
This is Mr.. Byran's way.
II Is 1t yours? tilI
Democrats, vote early to
