trusts. plumber and robbery. William T
Bryan declared: You shall not nress
down this crown of thorns upon the brow
upon a cross of gold.
HE was the necessary choice of his mar
ty IN 1896 for the presidency. and he will
remain so until the principles which he
advocates are embodied in government
Four years ago he was defeated nv the
money changers, who had polluted the
temple of liberty, ana those political de-
SeendantS Of The un-American imperial
lists who a century ago defeated Jefferson
History Will repeat itself. Democracy,
rising stronger from defeat, will In 1900,
as in 1850. give its banner to it's leader
and bid Bryan, following in the footsteps
of Jefferson, to complete the great work
he has so nobly begun. (Applause.) Time
Has Sllehcea; ana truth has disproved the
defeat four years ago. Thousands of his
/ former opponents will now support him
with enthusiasm. He has been in the
calcium light of public scrutiny for four
long years, but no enemy has found a
weak place in his armor, and his friends
have marveied at the wisdom of h s
T words ana the prudence Of his deeds.
With the genius and sagacity and spirit
of Jefferson, he has ever contended for
individual liberty and public rights
against special privileges and imperial
ism. With the strength and courage of
Jackson. he mas waged a merciless war
against the twin monsters of oppression,
trusts and the roDDer tariff.
80 l am proud to remember that four
years ago, forty-eight hours before the
meeting of the Democratic convention in
Chicago, North Carolina selected as its
candidate for the presidential nomination
William }. Bryan, of Nebraska. CAP
plause) We gave him our fealty and
followed him with the tenacity of gen.
uine tarheels. Four times did the De-
mocracy of North Carolina vote for JEFF
ferson for president, and we will stick
to Bryan until he is elected. (Appiau5e.)
We We're first at the marriage feast be-
fore, and you may be assured we shall
be present at the next marriage feast ar
rayed in the garments of triumphant De-
mocracy. We made no mistake in our
choice. Bryan is the best living embod-
tment of Democracy. With Jefferson and
Jackson, he completes a triumvirate of
Democratic leaders. Like them, he is
called to the leadership after defeat, be-
living representative of his party, and,
therefore, the best hope of that party $
victory. He is not influenced by the i'm
portunities of those who might advance
his personal fortunes, but by the needs
and just demands of those whom he can
never know, and who can never know
him, who can never lend him personal
assistance. In this equipment for the
highest public service, he measures up
to the test of the great statesman he is
the idol of the plain people, and he is
the champion of their rights and they
will elect him president of the United
States" (Applause.)
SENATOR DANIEL.
In the midst of the confusion at the
close of Mr.. Moore's address a Georgia
delegate rose, and on behalf of the South
requested that that peerless leader and
orator of Virginia. John w. Daniel be
called upon to address the convention"
Senator Daniel was escorted to the
platform, and as he appeared at the
front Of the chairmans desk, attred in
conventional black broadcoth coat and
trousers and his usual white tie, facing
the great audience he looked the states
man and the orator that he is. He was
accorded an enthusiastic reception. His
speech was a brilliant and eloquent
culogy of Mr.. Bryan. When ne said:
81 second the nomination of one who
would rather be right than be president"
a perfect storm Of cheers swept over the
audience; and when he added: HE is
right by his noble and discerning nature
and he soon will be president" the spec
tators arose from their seats and amid
the waving of hundreds of flags cheered
for almost a minute.
The congratulations received by Sena-
tor Daniel at the close of his speech
amounted to a distinct ovation. He said:
MIR. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
National Democratic Convention: ! have
but few words to say and shall detain
you DuC Il lew moments from the most
pleasing duty the crowning event of this
wonderful convention! On behalf of the
Virginia delegation, and by command Of
the sovereign people of that state, sec
ond the nomination of one who would
rather be right than be president Great
applause) One who is now right by the
instructive virtues of his own ennobling,
discerning virtue and who will soon be
president by the manly virtues Of the
American people. (Wild applause and
cheeringD
Let me remind you. my countrymen
that the present condition of our country
is a vndication and Illustration of the
fundamental financial doctrine which we
taught four years ago, which then was
the voice of O divided Democracy, but
which is now the voice of their union.
(Renewed and furious applause and
cheering.)
The doctrine that the prices Of all
property were regulated by the volume
of money, and we have witnessed by the
naked eye the prices of produce increas-
Ing in this country as new coinage flowed
into our own mint and as new paper was
printed. SO that, in the fundamental
theory upon which we stand, we witness
the increase Of industry in this land as
its vlndicatlon. 'f'
The Republican party of this country
met net long since in The old historic city
of Philadelphia rich with the memorials
and relics of the grandest intellectual
ana moral struggle for which heroes even
drew swords. They were there with those
memorials before them, They were in
sight and under the shadow of old indie
peudence Hall, but no voice fell from the
lips Of the Republican party which there
sat within its portal that would remind
the country of where they were, or that
they had any memory Of the great strug-
gle that made us free Great applause.)
1t was but natural for they could not
have repeated a single sentence from the
constitution OF the United Staes with re-
speCt to their present cOnduct-no, th-y
could not have read the Declaration of
In11IGnflGl1nn "
Ing that a satirist had gotten within them
TO disturb or break up the meeting
(Laughter and appiause.)
rms day, my cOuntrymen, marks a
new epoch. not only in the history of the
Democratic party, but new epoch in
the history of the world, and prociaims
the Democracy as the greatest of all
world powers for the proclamation and
steady defense of the bedrock principles
OF American liberty and Independence
