said, We're carried on all through the state in
an attempt 10 dej ,rlniue thH action of the Dem
ocratic convention.
We have already suffered enough from the
efforts 10 purchase control Of our party for bust

Of y mult-millionaire 20 purchase the control Of
our party for personal purposes" he demanded
M. Osborne then outlined his views of what
the Democratic state platform should be.
II should declare against the spirit Of monop-
oily and special privileges; demand that corpora
tons operating public franchises fully recognize
the rights Of the public; stand for an honest adj
ministIation II state departments and search
ing investigation of every department; recon-
mend the abolition Of unnecessary commissions;
provide for home rule, the election OF United
states Senators by popular yote, the revision and

CARLISLE HITS THE ONE MAN"
John y. Carlisle briefly outlined the history Of
the Democratic party. and then alluded to what
he said was Il movement in the interest OF one
man alone Ito control our conventions and die
tate our policies"
The objection that have to such move
ment." said Mr. Carlisle. ais that It is not Dem
ocratc Il is not honest il is sincere and II is
not movement for the good Of the people.
1T IS clearly not Democratic when its mover
deliberately announces that he Intends to run
aa..a-
ter what the outcome OF our convention may be:
it is not Democratic. because its mover is not
Democrat. He has repeatedly refused TO accept
the action OF Democratic conventions in the
past and has openly boted regular party nomi-
nations: he deliberately opposed the election OF
Judges Parker and HerriclS: while holding once
by the sufferanee OF the New York City Demoe-
racy he bolted the action OF their city conven-
tion, ran for Mayor and openly entsred into
combination with Boss Odell. by which he in
dorsed Republican candidates for members of
Assembly and aldermen. whereby we lost
number Of Democratic Assembly districts. and
lost control of the Board of Aldermen: ~ IS not
Democratic when its mover deliberately and ma
liciously attacks every Democrat OF any promi-
nence in the state or nation who may In any
way see III 10 interfere with his prepOsterous
desires or demands No one. far. has escaped
his attacks except Mr. Bryan. and to-day who
can doubt his unfriendly attitude 20 him. The
so-cslled third party movement is deliberately
organized 70 try and force his nomination for
the Presidency, and It is only question OF time
when Mr.. Bryan will have 20 run the gantlet
Of his open attacks.
"ENGAGED IN OPEN CORRUPTION"
1T is not honest when its mover cries anti
corruption and is to-day engaged IN the most
open attempt by corruption 20 control our eau
cuses and conventions.
1T is not sincere when its mover announces
that he cares nothing for our regular party nom
nation. and still by the most desperate efforts
known 10 professional politicians is openly en-
gagged IN trying 10 dictate 10 US and our conven-
tions. It is not sincere when its mover cries
auti-bossism. and as every student OF politics
knows is moving heaven and earth to bring TO
his aid the bosses of our great cities
In ending Mr.. Carlisle appealed 10 the men
who have the true interests OF the Democratic
party At heart to Keep the party respectable, and
uphold its traditions and principles for the
future.
