Where Votes Come From.

II appreciate the fact that majority
Of our electoral votes come from the
South, but I don't want the people of
the South to forget that majority OF
our Democratic votes come from the
North. We have more Democrats in
the North than you have In the South
and you must not be too harsh with
us If we have also tho misfortune of
having more Republican voters in the
North than you have in the South
II Is not that there are too few of us;
1t is that there are too many OF them
and / would hardly be doing Justice
to the section from which I come If I
did not tell you that 1t requires as
much love of Democracy to vote In the
North. where they defeat us. as it re-
quires down here to vote. where they
elect you. I learned my Democracy
from n father born in Virginia, and
it came also from my mother, whose
grandfather came from Kentucky: and
my only regret is that my children
have one generation more of Democ-
racy behind them than 1 have.

The reason we were in hurry tr

What the Rate Law Did,
Continuing, SIR. Bryan said:
What is the Xect OF our new rate
Ia" which was SO hard to get? There
are two effects SO far. One thing, it
stopped rebates; that is good, but what
was the pecuniary effect? Why, the
railroads kept the money they paid
to the favored shippers. that is, the
railroads get more money out OF this.
What was the other effect? 1t stop
ped passes. What did that do? 1t
gave to the railroads the money that
the fellows used to save that rode on
passes. So far we have increased the
revenues of the road and that is all
that law has done thus far; and when
the various States said: Well. now. we
have given you this advantage by stop
ping rebates and passes we will res
duce passenger rates and make you
divide with the people, and in some OF
the States they have reduced the pas
senger rates; the railroads In some
cases are so ungrateful for what has
been given them that they go into the
court to try to keep the people from
having the benefit OF the two-cent rate
law.
