Mr.. Olney spoke in part as follows:
MI. olney's Address.
Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen-I well
come the opportunity 10 declare my
belief not only that the Democratic
PARTY is heading In the right direction
and Is t0lerably sure of ultimately re-
covering Us old time ascendenCy. but
that that result Is essential 10 the well
fare OF the American people. There
a one aspect OF the present situation "a
which i desire 10 especially call your
attention.
THE vital principle as well as dis
tInguishng merit Of our present insti-
tutlons consists In liberty regulated by
Law. With the exception OF the two
Cleveland administrations the Republi-
can party has been In control Of ths
national government for a period OF
more than forty years. Where has q
landed us as respects iiberty2 I vii
not now consider that. But where Ia,
10 landed us as respects law. which Ia.
no right 90 the name unless Il is tn
same for the millionaire and for Tn
beggar.
'The signs OF the times are that IN
der the regime OF the Republican party
Had through the protected industries
we have come 20 a pass where pubit
officials as we'll as private citizens deem
themselves above the law
Shaw's Subservienee.
Witness the jealous haste viii
which the treasury PUSHES TO the relic
Of Wall street spectators By move
and forced construction of the nationa
banking law. Witness the ASTONISHING
proceeding OF the same department II
It's Instructions 10 subordinate officer
respecting the duties 20 be collected oI
coal But the general lawless atmOs
phere In which protected Republican
reign has euveloped us Is even NOR
strEngly illustrated by the recen
presidential demonstration upon N
coal strike. There are those who sa
that as the president disclaimed an
official duty or relation 10 the matte
h. should not have interfered. Their
IS something 90 be said for that view
Though his office is charged with grea
functions and invested with great pow
ers, the president Is a constitutions
officer whose sphere Of action is strict
lY limited by law Within that spher
Dc is well nigh absolute-without he 5
impotent legally. When, therefore, b
goes without 10 the danger Is that h
may f3U and be- dehed and that hi
great office may lose prestige and pow
cr and thus De less capable OF perform
iug Sos legitimate duties.
