MIR. BRYAN EULOGIZED THE
SENATOR.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced and said.
in part:
II have listened tonight to a speech
that ought to produce a profound i'm
preston upon the American people, NV
friends. L want to emphasize the i'm
portance OF Independence of opinion and
action in country like yours. l believe
with Senator Wellington, that the
claims of the country are infinitely
greater than, the claims of any party. /
believe with him that a man should
make his party affiliations suit his con-
victions. not make his convictions suit
his party creed.
In 1886 gold Democrats left us and
silver Republicans came to U.S. 1 heard

Declaration of Independence? Which is
the more important-that you shall
have a financial system which you like
or that you shalt have a government

Senator Wellington and 1 differ

that money was the paramount issue?
We loaned you some Gold Democrats

Wellington has displayed much cour-
age in leaving the Republican party,
and may we not hope that the same
courage will be displayed by tens of
thousands, hundreds OF thousands and
millions of his fellow Republicans of
the rank and file, who are not held
to the party by ties so strong and so
binding. And yet, is there not enough
to inspire even a Republican Senator
to leave his party? 1 ask not what
Senator Wellington did in 1896. | ask
not what he will do in 1904. The same
intelligence and the same courage

rect him then: but to-day in meeting
the crisis that is upon rs, has he not
enough to inspire him 10 break party
ties and endure the Kisses of those
who lack the courage to do what he
has done?
What is his inspiration? Does he
come to the Democratic party for
money? No man would come to the
Democratic party for money daughter

ambition for honor. What brings him
to the Democratic party at this time?
What makes him act with those who
support he Democratic party. 1t is his
belief that his country Is In peril; 1t is
his belief that the course which the
Republican party is Pursuing tends di
