presidents come and Presidents go,
but the great republic-freighted with
the hopes of the human race for liberty
goes on forever. All history proves

lar suffrage Is a government by party.
Experience shows that he serves his
party best who serves his unit
Eest. The names most fondly cher
1shed are those OF men who devoted
their time, their energies, their talents,
their fortunes and their lives to the
promotion of the public veal. Stronger
incentive to high and patriotic endeav-
or no man hath than the hope to stand
thorough all the ages in that goodIy
company.
Out OF the mastery debates and pro-
found deliberations of the st. Lous
convention emerged a reunited party,
which goes forth conquering and to
conquer. The flower of the Democracy
there TO consult the govern
ment to the principles e%nunciated bv
the fathers, from which it has drifted
Tor in these latter days. Every phase
OF Democratic opinion was represented
by brave, honest and able CHAMPIONS
in that great conclave of free and pa
triotic men. The st. Louis convention
carried out no cut and dried pro
gramme. Its degelates were not mere
autOmatOns or m%arionettes waving and
talking when the strings were pulled
by man. Speech and action were
absolutely free Int the great debates
which took place there will constitute
part of the permanent political litera-
ture OF the country. No effort was
made to gag or bride any one. II a
delegate had a pet idea which he was
anxious to exploit, he was given an
adequate and respectful hearing before
either the platform committee or the
entire convention. Every man had his
say. To none was opportunity denied,
Out Of it all grew such unity as en-
courages lovers OF liberty and of pure
government everywhere. We enter
upon the campaign with the strength
which grows out of the union of a
mighty party, with the enthusiasm
porn of truth, with the courage that
emanates from a righteous cause, with
the confidence of men animated by no.
