otic than 1t Is possible for me to de-

Referring to the struggle in the Phil
ippines, the speaker said: "The men
whose ancestors carried the flag of this
country over hundreds of battlefields
to grand triumph at Appomattox have
not stained their hands nor tarnished
the flag by unnecessary severity in the
prosecution of this war. 1t is war in
which the issue is the victory of the
Filipino insurgents and the disgrace OF

Concerning trusts. he held that no

The speaker paid his respects to the
free silver issue. The Democrats, he
said, stand today without a candidate,
without platform and without rea-
sonahle hope for the future. "The en-
ergies of the party" he declared. "are
devoted to an effort to shake OFF the
old man of the sea that rode them to
disaster in two presidential years, but
that old man does not let go very
easily"
In closing. he deplored what he
termed the Democratic false indict-
ment of the corruption and wickedness
and cruelty and barbarity of our army,
publishing to all the world that our
army is body of organized Bashiba-
zouks."
