Nebraska Leader Says Something of Har-
nDny. CarmacEl of Ex pansion.
The speakers appearance on the
platform WAS the signal for loud ard
continued applase. Mayor Collins
promptly introduced Edward NJ.
Shepard. OF New York, who was fol
lowed BY Senator Carmack. The pre-
sentatiOn Of Bryan developed great
enthusiasm. Cheers greeted him as he
steppea 10 the front of the platform
anu he was several times interrupted
By demonstrations OF approval. He be
gan his speech with many remarks
ON harmony, or which the following is
the pith:
In view of numerous harmony din
ners, and the discord they have Gre
ated, it may lot be out OF place TO con
slider the basis or harmony The word
harmony is euphonious, and the idea
which it conveys is a delightful one.
Harmony is but a synonym for order,
and is not the result OF chance, but
product of memorable law. Harmony
in government is the result of fixed
and interchangeable rules. Jefferson
states two of these rules-namely. alb
solute acquiescence in the will of the
majority and frequent electiOns-the
second aids the first by giving hope of
q remedy from present ills, however
greviOuS.
After stating that there We're always
two parues-the Democratic and arts
tocratic-the speaker proceeded: There
can always be harmony among Demo
Gratis who have the purpose that JEFF
ferson had and are willing to employ
the methods that jefferson employed
There can always be harmony among
Democrats who believev in a govern
ment 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 people. differences
OF the mind can be recOnciled; differ
enceS of purpose cannot Between
on who is at heart an aristOcrat and
one who is in reality a Democrat
there is great gulf fixed .
He then proceeded to argue that the
Republican party was the aristocratic
party in this countrN
He closed his speech by eLlmerat-
ing the different issues for the past
ten years and stating those which were
up now, among which he gave prOmi-
nence to Imperialism, the trusts, the
proposed asset currency and govern
ment ~ injunction"
Carmack's speech was largely de-
voted to arguing that what is known
as expansion now is not at all the
kind of expansion believed in and exc
cuted by the Democracy in past years.
He said the Democracyy had never ac-
quired territory without signing a
covenant that its inhabitants should be
clothed with all the rights Of Ameri-
can citizenship, and protected by all
the guarantees of the constitution; that
they should be organized into self-gov-
eminent communities and finally adj
mitted as states of the American
Union. The Democratic party has ac-
CURED territory in order that 1t might
add new states to the Union and new
stars to the flag. But it is one calling
to add new star to the flag and an.
other to put there spl0tch of dirt and
human blood and call it star"
OF the trusts Bryan said: 81 believe
the United States has the right to say
through congress that a corporation
organized in any state can stay in that
state, but shall not go outside without
showing that it is doing lawful bust
ness and not acting as a highway
man."
All the speeches were enthusiastic
ally applauded. Bryan left last j light
for Maine, accompanied by Senator
Carmack and Charles s. Hamlin.
