 Tonight. fellow citizens, ask you who is the party, and who is the ean- didate that proclaims the principles of Thomas Jefferson and goes forth to fight for the great mass of the Ameri- can people?
 Pleads for Bryan Vote.
 T do not believe that six and @ half million men who followed Bryan with cheers on their lips and warm convic- tions in their hearts can now be de- livered like cattle to the Clevelandites who knifed the ticket, or bolted in 1898. believe that the great majority of the men who voted for Bryan are men of conviction; cannot but hope they will realize that I am fighting their battle now.
 Tt seems to lne to be the most amaz- ing piece of effrontery for the Dem ocratic party to go before the Ameri- can people and proclaim that for eight years they have bee nwrong and the Republicans have been right. and at the same time demand that the crowd that has been wrong shall be put in the places of those who have been right.
 We are told the Democratic party has taken a brave stand on the tariff question. It has declared that pro- tection is robbery. Even those who claim that the words mean a tariff for revenue only will find cold comfort in the letter of their candidate who de- clares that while he would be glad to see a revision of the tariff, he knows that he cannot bring 1t to pass"

Will it be four years? Forty years? Four hundred years? No mortal can tell us what the judge means. Where does the national Democratic party stand on :he labor question: Can anybody tell?
 
 have not forgotten how at the call of the Pullman Palace Car Company, a Democratic president invaded sover- eign state with federal troops in spite of the protest of its governor. John P. Altgeld. a better and abler and braver man than ever Grover Cleveland was.
 The Judge PreJudges.
 They tell us that Judge Parker is a man of judicial temperament-and yet in his speech of acceptance he pre- judges the laborers of Colorado. as- sumes ns proven the unestablished ac- cusation that union men resorted to dynamite and thus demonstrates that if elected president he will go into office with his mind made up against the labortrs. upon one ot the most se- rious and doubtful problems of the day. Upo1 the one sided statement of their bitt' rest enemies. the Democratic nominee For the presidency prejudges the case of the laborers and gravely declares that their use of dynamite must be traced to the horrible condi- tions of Colorado.
 "So mrch for the Democratic plat form and for the nominee who stands upon 1t, Again I ask what is the is- sue between Parker and Roosevelt? The Hon. Henry G. Davis came up to New Pork soon after his surprising for the Presidency and in the first gush of his exultation. told
