1T Kansas City, Mo. last Tuesda

given by the Democratic jackson
County club and the newspaper mel
uf Missouri complimentary to William
T. Stone, bitterly arraigned Grove
! Cleveland and his supporters who ar
making the plea for harmony amont
Democrats. The assembly was mad
up otMiSsouri Democrats and the re
marks Of Mr.. Bryan met with enthu
siastic favor with bis hearers. III
said in part.
What we need in this nation i
moral courage among men. We neet
moral courage more than ability anc
We want to have the kind Of mora
courage that will fight for homes
Democratic principles.
FLOWERS FOR STONE
In your junior senator, William
Joel Stone, you have in Missouri mar
who possesses both moral courage anc
ability. l am glad that you have
harmony in this state. l believe the
Democrats Of Missouri give the best
idea OF how to secure harmony among
the Democrats Of the nation. I be-
lieve in harmony.
The Democrats bed is wide enough
for all who want to come in, but We
don't have to sit up nights to keep
certain pretenders from picking oul
pockets. We invite all who have
strayed from the-fold to come back II
they SO desire, but we want them tc
stay in after they come.
ENOUGH OF CLEVELAND.
We have had enough Of Cleveland
ism in the Democratic party. We had
four years Of Cleveland, and after bis
administration was over we found our
selves weaker tLan we had ever beer
before because We had been betrayed.
These So-called harmonizers, CleTe.
lanG and his followers, showed theil
nearness to Repubulicanism by desert
ing us in our hour Of greatest need
and supporting the Republican party.
The Democratic party won a great
victory in 1892, which gave our party
a great opportunity, but Grover
Cleveland betrayed the Democratic
party and it carried the burden OF his
administration through two nationa.
cam paigns and there was not plank
in either platform that was such
detriment to me in those campaign as
that burden was.
GROVER BETRYED PARTY.
Cleveland had the best opportunity
to redeem the Democratic party ever
offered to any man since the time Of
Andrew Jackson, but instead Of being
true to his party be disgraced himself
AS a party, we must stand true tt
Democratic principles and if We do
believe that Democratic victory vii
some day come and it will be here tx
remain when it comes.
He is of the highest service to hi:
fellows, who can give the highest ideal
There has been lowering OF ideals II
this country. Money is talked abou'
morning, noon and night. CONNER
cialism is the curse Of the country to
day, and it has debauched our coun
try. The foreigner has come to re
gard the American simply as a money
maker and We give cause for the belle
that we put nothing beyond wealth
and that money is ruling the country
with an iron hand.
MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY.
The manhood and womanhood O
the United States are more importan1
than money. Jefferson set a highe
ideal for US than that Of the worship
of money, and nothing but the ideal!
of Jefferson will ever lift US out Of ths
slough of despond. The Democratic
party is not the enemy Of honestl.
acquired wealth.
Il have heard it said that Demo
Gratis believe that man can not have
money and be honest. I deny that a.
being false.
A man can have money and be
Democrat, but II money has him b.
has to be a Republican. Jefferson be
lieved that money should be sub
servient to the man, and Jefferson wa
an educated man. There are people
to-day who think that the educated
man should be separated from the com
mon rabble. Jefferson believed thai
the man who was too good to take par
in politics was not good enough to liv'
in a land like this. Jefferson did no
create the principles Of the Democ
racy; they existed long before Jefferson
lived He simply put the principles
| into living form. There never was
time when the people were more ready
to accept Democratic principles tnal
today.
MUST APPEAL TO CONSCIENCE.
we must appeal to the conscienct
of the people. Three remedies fol
existing evils have been suggested tt
me. First, an appeal to the conscience
Of the people; second, by legislation
and third, by revolution. But revolu
tion is not to be thought Of. Revolu
luton is not a remedy in a country
where people can vote.
People can vote themselves free II
this country and if they could not dt
that, they could not fight them
selves free. Jefferson stood for the
people and their interests and Hamil
ton believed that the president anc
the senate should be elected for life o.
during good behavior. The Republi:
