Says Democrats Must Not Make Peace
With the Enemy-Senator Carnack
and Others Also Address Great
Gathering at Nantasket.
Boston, July 25.-Nearly four thou
sand Democrats gathered at Nanta,-
ket yesterday and participated in the
harmony meeting arranged by the
New England Democratic league, the
new political organization which Is e.A.
pected to develop its strength in the
fall campaign Mayor P. A. Collins of
this city acted as moderator" as he
expressed il, and presented in order
Edward NJ. Shepard Of New York,
Senator Edward w. C3rmack OF Ten
nessee and w. j. Bryan OF Nebraska,
who expounded and discussed the is
sues of this campaign to the marked
satisfaction OF the audience.
Shortly after noon 600 members OF
the league sat down to a banquet In
the great dining room of the Rockland
hotel. Among those at the dinner
was Miss Ruth Bryan. who is accom-
panying her father on tnis trip.
AT the conclusion of the dinner the
crowd repaired to the mammoth tent
on the lawn in front Of the hotel. In
few minutes every seat was taken
| and the canvas at the sides was re-
moved in order that hundreds who
were unable TO get in might see and
hear.
The speakers appearance upon the
stand was the signal Tor loud and con-
tinued applause. Mayor Collins
promptly introduced Edward NJ.
Shepard of New York. Senator Cai-
| mack followed and for nearly an hour
| and half held the attention Of his
hearers His discussion of the trust
issue brought forth applause, which
was repeated frequently during his
argument on the Philippine question
Eryan's Address.
The presentation of Mr.. Bryan de-
yeloped great enthusiasm Cheers
crested him as he stepped TO the front
of the platform and he was several
times interrupted by demonstrations
! of approval. He said in part:
In view OF the numerous harmony
dinners, and the discord they have
created, it may not be out of place to
consider the basis of harmony Har.
mony is but synonym for order, and
! is not the result of chance, but the
product of an inexorable law. 1t is
impossible to secure harmony between
the people OF opposite sympathies,
and 1t is difficult thing to change a
mans sympathies; it requires po,it
ical regeneration to make Democrat
out OF an aristocrat. The Republican
party OF today is aristocratic in its
policies and tendencies, for 1t is con
trolled by a few in the interest OF a
few. AS there are many in the Re
publican party who have adhered tc
the party notwithstanding the change
that organization has undergone, sc
there are some who call themselves
Democrats who have themselves u1l
dergone change which has alienatet
them from the Democratic party, OF
from any party worthy OF the name
To attempt to patch up an apparent
harmony between those who are mo-
in sympathy with Democratic purpos
es, is not only waste OF time bu
would prove disastrous.
Trusts Grow and Flourish.
"Since the election of 1900, imperial
ism is more openly avowed, and I'm
perialistic methods more boldly en-
tered upon, because the administra
tion can point to that election as al
apparent Endorsement, although the
party leaders at that time vehement,
denied any imperialistic intent. Sine
the election OF 1900 trusts have grown
and flourished under the Republican
administration, as might have beef
expected. Almost two years hav'
elapsed since the last presidential
election and no legislative attemp
has been made to interfere with them
Since the election, the financiers ar
seeking to carry their advantage
little farther and are planning an as
! set currency, a system Of brancl
: banks and the redemption of the si
J" yer dollar.
And all the while, an exorbitan
! tariff is working injustice to consun
) ers. The opponents OF aristocrac
: and plutocracy cannot be united 10
. successful attack upon entrenche
privilege by making peace with TIL
enemy, but by an honest straightfoi
! ward appeal to the American people.
Mr.. Bryan left for Maine. accompf
MED by Senator Carmack and Senate
Charles S. Halnlin Tonight they wi
appear at Rockland. Early in tn
= afternoon addresses will be made a
;. Augusta and in the afternoon the
: will attend a meeting in Bangor.
