Hendrix Praises Bryan
Temporary Chairman Hendrix spoke
in part as follows:
II am not here to array class against
class but I am here to say that stand
with the common people as against the
aggressions of plutocracy. Ten years
ago 1 sat in the national convention of
our party in Chicago. 1 saw there for
the first time the clash between the two
contending forces the classes against
the masses.
"In that memorable convention Dem
ocracy received a new baptism Of free
dom. 1t faced without fear pomp and
power. The cause of the common peo-
pie triumphed. That struggle was pro-
phetic of the destiny of Democracy and
it stands today as it always will stand
for the cause of the great wealth.
producing masses of our citizenship as
against graft and plutOcracy
"The difference then and today be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
parties is the difference between a CAL
loused hand and a calloused heart.
Long, determined and bitter was
that convention struggle. The great
masses of our party crying out for JUS
tice asked but for a leader. From out
of the broad west came a young man,

none
Honors Party
Into his hand was given the standard
of Democracy. He carried 1t with
credit to himself and honor to his
party. Time has vindicated the wisdom
of his position and the breadth of his
Judgment. The men who said him
nay in 1896 today support him; not
only do they support, but in the name of
united Democracy they say we will go
down to the sea and welcome back to
home and leadership the great Amer
lean commoner, Bryan
MAY he not only realize that his past
is Vindicated by the welcome of a.
united party but may he be blessed
with a greater clearness of vision, that
looking into the future he may see the
day of promise, the day of victory, the
day when he shall have been chosen the
chief executive of this great nation.
Every declaration of principles con-
tanned in the platform of 1896 that was
at that time declared a heresy Is today
accepted as orthodox by all parties and
peoples except the privileged few
against wi -ose predatory habits those
declarations were directed, I do not
except the money plank. We then said
that there was not sufficient circulating
medium per capita to carry on our trade
and transact our business 1t was
condition confronting us that must be
met and to meet it we declare for BIZ
metallism as the remedy. 1t Is not
owing to any particular standard that
we prosper but it is because we have
what we then claimed we must have-a
sufficiency of money.
Principles Vindicated
''It has been the great influx of gold,
the tremendous production of new gold
fields and the use of new processes that
have given us sufficient time to meet
the condition, The Almighty caused to
be deposited in the earth this treasure
that has been discovered by us. The
Republican party never created one
grain of II. have no quarrel to make
on that issue. l care not by what
means the end was reached. The prin-
ciples have been vindicated,
THAT platform declared against the
aggressions of railroad corporations
and demanded legislation against re-
bates. Have the revelations of the past
few months left any shadow of doubt
in your minds as to the truth Of that
declaration and the necessity for the
application of that doctrine?
