fires of democratic hope by success COM
ing, from concession than it is to put out
what is left by failures fastened to q
formula.
New York's Candidate.
The state of New York, hardening to
the demand from every quarter Of the
country, comes to you united upon one
who will bring peace into our council,
patriotism and power into our campaign
and success to our contest.
The country, anxious to win in this
great crisis, called upon New York the
battle-ground, New York answers with a
candidate who carried the state by 60 900
majority. The country called upon New
York for the best of It's brain and blood,
and New York answers with man who
cut his way thru poverty and toll until he
found the highest peak Of power and hon
or in the state. The country called upon
New York for democrat and New York
answers with man who learned the SIM
pie lessons of democratic faith in the fur
rowed field who took them with increas-
ing strength to the bar and finally honored
them by his exalted station on the bench
"a man who, thruout his career from
poverty to power never In fair weather or
foul forsook the standards of his party
faith or deserted the colors Of his COM
mand.
The country called upon New York for
a democrat free from factional dispute,
anu Now 1 Ork answered WIN a uldl
friendly to all factions, but favor!te and
a friend Of none; q man who will take
| counsel and courage Of BOTH but who VIII
take the bitterness of neither--a man who
will not stir the hatred OF the past nor
share the acrimony Of the present, but
who will lead us up toward the future into
| 81 cloudleSS atmosphere OF party peace.
| The country called upon New York for
a man who measured up to the stature Of
this lofty place, and New York answered
with candidate who grew from youth
to man In the humble walks Of life; who
! lived and learned what all our common
folk must live and learn; a man who
ripened with advancing years in the rich
attachments until he went, by the choice
Of those who knew him best, to hold the
heavy scale of justice at the highest point
| Of our great judicial system, where with
the masters who moulded state and nation
and the men who drive commerce Ger the
wheel Of time, he surveyed to the ground
every inch Of this great republic and saw
with expanding vision the material growth
and glory Of his state.
Man to Fit the Hour.
The country called upon New York for
a man to fit this, the critical hour and
place in our national life, and New York
answers with man who puts against
the strenuous sword play Of a sWagger-
ing administration simple faith in all
the perfect power Of the constitutions; a
man who puts against an executive re-
public the virtue Of constitutional re-
public; a man who puts against executive
usurpation knowledge Of and deep love
for the poise and balance Of it's three
great powers; a man who puts against the
stealthy hunt, with the big stick" a
faithful observance Of constitutional re-
straints.
If you ask me why he has been silent
I tell you it is because he does not claim
to be the master Of the democratic party
but Is content to be its servant, If you
ask me why he has not outlined a policy
for this convention, I tell you that he
does not believe that policies should be
dictated. but that the sovereignty Of the
party Is In the untrammeled Judgment
and wisdom Of its members. If you ask
NE what his policy will be, if elected,
tell you that it will be that policy which
finds expression in the platform Of his
party.
Appeal to Harmony.
We appeal to every democrat from ev-
crywhere to forget the bitter warfare OF
the past; forget the strife and anger OF
the older other days; abandon all the
grudge and rancor of party discomfort
and, recalling with ever-increasing pride
The triumphs Of our fifty years Of a con-
stitutional government of liberty and
peace-here and now resolve to make the
future record that, respondent reach Of
time in which liberty and peace went ur
and down the nations Of the earth, build.
