BRYAN AND TILLMAN
Principal Speakers at Jackson
Day Banquet at Omaha.

Omaha, Neb. Jan. S.-The tenth an
nual banquet of the Jacksonian club of
Nebraska. was held at the Willard hotel
last night $50 persons sitting at the
tables. The occasion was one of inter
est on account of the presence OF W. J.
Bryan, who responded to the toast
democracy, and Senator Benjamin r.
Tillman, whose address was on The
Democratic Party; its Duty and Des-
tiny"
Senator Tillman said the liberty and
freedom of the country depended on the
Democratic party, whose future must
decide the question Of imperialism or
freedom.
Mr. TiIlman said he was pleased at
the enthusiasm with which he had been
received
II am not In the habit Of attending
banquets," said the senator, sand am
somewhat at a loss to take the demands
of this occasion"
Mr.. Tillman said he had no aspira-
tons to be a national leader. but was
satisfied to represent the people who
had chosen him for that purpose. Mr..
Tillman defined the position of the
Democrats of the different sections Of
the country and advocated the stand
ing together OF all those who adhere to
Democratic principles. Mr.. Tillman
paid his respects to ex-President CleYe-
land, who he said was now trying to
come forward and save the party" He
said he refused to compromise with Mr.
Cleveland and said that it was pre-
sumption to attempt to say what would
be the duty of the Democratic party
four years hence. He declared no one
could attempt to now say what would
be the policy of 1904.
our destiny" he said, must be de-
fined by the principles which have
guided the party since its foundation -
Mr.. Bryan began his address at 1:25
a. m. He said in part:
II do not take as personal the eil0-
giles offered to me this evening, but
rather to my connection with the Dem
Mr. Bryan referred pleasantly to Sen
atOr Tillman. and said he was glad to
have Democrats of Nebraska know
more of the senator than they were able
to learn through the press. Mr.. Bryan
asserted that he was by no means out
of politics. and that each following cam
paign would find him arrayed on the
side of Democracy.
II would rather continue to lose" said
he, than to surrender any of the prin-
ciples for which we have fought. The
situation was as dark in 1872 as now,
but we honestly won in 1876. We are
still in the right. The platform that was
right when written in Kansas City is
right now"
Mr.. Bryan said the position of the
Democratic party on the money ques-
ton was INDICATED when the Republi-
can party decided that it was necessary
to increase the money circulation. He
arraigned the Republican party for
what ne teIfneu hypocrisy OH the trust
question and other planks of it's plat
form. He insisted that the Democratic
party was the conservative party, and
that the people would soon understand
it in this manner.
Referring to party reorganization he
said: when a man is divorced from
his wife he no longer looks after the
welfare of his wife until he is remarked
to her"
Mr.. Bryan predicted a regeneration of
the party and victory in 1904.
