To Harmonize Democrats.
From the first the committee tried

Bryan Harmony Basis.
The Hon. w. ]. Bryan responded to
] the toast, THE Basis OF Harmony" He
, said in part:
"In view Of the numerous harmony
dinners and the discord they have Gre
I ated, II may not be out of place to con.
sider the basis of harmony. The word
harmony is euphonious, and the idea
which II conveys Is a delighted one.
Harmony is but synonym for order,
and is not the result of chance, but a
product of memorable law.
THE great founder of the Democrat.
ic party, whose profound philosophy
sounded all the depths of human ma.
ture and measured the height and
breadth of human government, not
long before the end OF his eventful life
said in letter to Mr.. Lee that there
were but two permanent parties, the
arlstocratic and the Democratic; that
! those two parties existed in every
country, and that where there was
freedom to think, speak and write
these parties would become apparent.
With the aristocratic party he class.
ed those who fear and distrust the
people and wish to draw all power
from them into the hands OF the high.
er classes With the Democratic par.
ty he classed those who identify them
selves with the people, have conf.
dence In them, cherish and consider
them as the most honest and safe,
though not the most wise, depository
of the public interest Every well in.
formed student Of history will recog.
nize this distinction. In every commu.
nifty you can draw line separating the
aristocrat from the Democrat. 1t will
not be perpendicular line, nor will II
be a horizontal one; 1t will not separ-
ate those OF illustrious lineage from
those OF humble birth; II will not sep
arate the rich from the poor; 1t will
not separate the educated from the UNI
educated; 1t will not be along lines OF
vocation or occupation; but 1t will sep
arate those with the tastes, spirit, as.
sumption and traditions of the aristoc-
racy' from those who believe In a
government controlled by the people
and favor political and legal equality.
The Jeffersonian Purpose.
There can always be harmony
among Democrats who have the pur.
pose that Jefferson had and are willing
to employ the methods that Jefferson
employed. There can always be har-
mony among Democrats who believe in !
government Of the people and are
willing that all the departments OF the
government shall be operated by the
people and for the benefit of the PEG. =,
pie. Differences Of the mind can be
reconciled; differences of purpose can. !,
not Between one who is at heart an
aristocrat and one who Is in reality a..
Democrat there is a great gulf fixed.
