the world II they win but throw them
selves down and worship the god of
Mammon ! believe we have fallen upon
days when, more than ever the en-
fOrcement Of Democratic doctrine ana
the acceptation Of Democratic consery-
alism and steodlness are needed N our
national greatness and the well being or
our people are TO be put beyond jeop-
ardy
III is not for me TO discuss on this
occasion the Democratic creed, or 10
deal AZ length with the Issues involved
In the present campaign We are here
10 listen TO one who stands IN the front
rank Of those who expound the Demo-
cratic party faith.
SOME ASPECTS or CAMPAIGN
There are. however IN my mind to.
night some aspects and Incidents of
this campaign which seem to me 80
startling and so humlliatlng that they
should arrest the attention OF every
thoughtful citizen and arouse the anX-
lous sollcltude Of every patriotic Amer
lean, In country like ours, where
parties contest for the direction Of the
government, we must OF course expect
party advocacy and honorable personal
ambitions for political honors. but who
among those indulging In the fartheat
prospect OF political campaigns, can
recall one IN which the advantages OF
the present party control have been ~
distinctly claimed that all the virtues
all the patriotism and all the govern
Ing ability OF our citizenship are found
"a 81
party, and when before have those Of
our citizens not among the chosen been
su boldly considered as aliens In their
own land, who should be cast into outer
political darkness az unworthy 10 be
entrusted with the power and re-
sponsiblllty Of a government estab-

When in all our history has party
so presumptuously as now claimed 70
he the donors Of the gifts OF God or
when has one 50 persistently pumed
Itself upon the creation Of all the pros
ptrty that has fallen to our country's
lot?
REPUBLICAN ARROGANCE.
"Such arrogance Is not new to the
party which now seeks AT the hands
OF the people renewal Of our gov
control. But 1t has SO grown
by what II has fed upon as now shume-
lessly to assume that the time has
arrived when peculiar heedlessness on
dullness viii permit boastlng and reck-
less assertion TO pass for truth and
reason. II this assumption is just-
fed there can he no doubt that the
sober and responsible political thought
and watchfulness upon which the true
Intent and purpose Of our government
depends are In grlevous peril II. on
the other hand, this assumption Is vi
clously unwarranted. II ~ an Insult to
manllness which should
arouse prompt and effective resent

Never before have our people been
belabored with party delverances
which, In every line and every word,
from platform declarations to the last
appeal Of party advocacy, are SO satu-
rated with conceited and tresome
claims of infalllblllty and with super
clllous disdaln of an political efforts
except such as are attempted under
the banner Of RcpubllcanIsm. Shall this
