Address to Democrats.
The following address was issued to-

ITO the Democrats of the United States
| The Democratic party and its friends
must meet the forces of corruption and
intimidat on in politics this year by thor
ough organization. A Democratic club or
society should be organized in every city
town, village and precinct in the United
States, Democrats and all who are in
sympathy with the principles set forth in
the Kansas City platform are earnestly
urged to join in the Democratic clubs, and
when none exist to assist in organizing
them. This work in uniting the forces of
law and liberty into one great systema-
tized civic army should be carried on sim
ultaneously in every part of the country
and without delay.
THE friends of the government, accord
| ing to the hitherto unchanged American
theory of political equality everywhere
under our flag, cannot afford to be less
Jealous or less active than the advocates
of an American colonial empire supported
by rifles. No patriotic citizen can ig-
! more the attacks which are being made
| upon the very foundations of our present
irreproachable form of government This
| year every citizen should be a politician.
| Clubs and societies should al once com
| municate with the Secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic Clubs
1870 Broadway. New York City, SO that
the united membership may work system
! atically in defense of the republic as the
fathers made it. All Democratic commit
| tees state and local. are requested to aid
the National Association of Democratic
| clubs in this work

AT Lebanon, Ind, the only stop of any
duration on the run of the Bryan-Stev-
enson party from Indianapolis was made
| There the candidates showed themselves
to the crowd which had sembled and
shook hands with many. Each of them
spoke few words, but they were mere
| pleasantries. Mr.. Bryan said:
1--WE are just returning from the notifi-
| cation meeting and we found the Indiana
PEOPLE down there not only present in
number, but they brought their enthu-
| siasm with them. The work commenced
| yesterday will be increased in energy and
vigor until election day and then we ex-
pect to hear from Indiana on the matter
of that election"
Mr.. Stevenson said
Il am very much gratified to be able to
inform you gentlemen that Mr.. Bryan has
accepted the nomination. II has been a
matter of doubt whether he would or not.
but we have got him on record, and he
| has accepted"
To this Mr. Bryan replied:
but l would not do it until Mr.. Stew
| enson consented TO run with me-"
| The remarks were accepted by the
| crowd with laughter, and they cheered
the candidates as the train moved off.
