MR. COCKRAN's ADDRESS.
'Mr Chairman Ladies and Gentlemen:
I was much impressed by the opening
address of our chairman and especially
by one OF his statements. He told you
that every evening in this campaign a

are no lights cleaning from the windows.
This IL typical OF the condition OF the
Republican party. Tyranny, oppression
and plunder abhor the light. AS the cam

is shown Just what are the fundamental
tendencies OF both parties
"You all remember that this campaign
began by the ciaim OF the Republicans
that theirs was the party OF achievement.
In their campaign document they pub
lIshed the speeches OF Secretary Root and
Secretary Hay. Both celebrated the
events OF the last 20 years and inten-
tionally omitted relerencs to what they
would do i'm the next four years. That
document is supposed To have put forth
the whole case of the Republican party.
A PARTY OF ACHIEVEMENT.
"In reality there is but one party OF
achievement and that is the Democratic
party. Even while that party was In
tie minority and the controN OF every
state was In the hands OF it's adver-
saries. every single principle of per-
manent character adopted into the gov
ernment Of the United States was or
