IF state to exercise it's constitutional
authority over it's domestic affairs.
HE has recommended a ship sub
sidy which is so undemocratic that II
had the solid opposition Of the Demo
cratic party and the opposition Of
number of Republicans from the int
rior states. He has advocated an asset
currency which is also undemocratic,
and he has manifested a military spirit
entirely out of harmony with Demo
cratic ideas and Democratic ideals.
"Here are four positions taken by
him which are undemocratic, and /
may add that the Republican leaders
have supported him quite enthusiast
tically in all that was undemocratic
and have opposed him quite persist
emily where he was Democratic. l
have been glad to commend the presi-
dent where could and have criticised
him where it was necessary. 1t would
be unfair to him and unfair to the
Democratic party to call him Demo
crat. He is Democratic in spots, and
while the spots are not as large as
they ought to be or as numerous as |
might wish them Democratic spot
looks beautiful to me no matter upon
whom I see it,
Jefferson Versus Hamilton.
Mr.. Bryan insisted that the Demo
cratic party looked at government
from the Jeffersonian point of view,
while Republican leaders were more
Hamiltonian and leaned toward CEN
tralization. He next presented the
Democratic and aristocratic view of
society, saying that the Democrat re-
CARDS society as constructed from tho
bottom, while the aristocrat thinks ii
is constructed from the top.
"The Democrat" said Mr.. Bryan,
believes that If you will only legis-
late so that the people will be prosper
Gus their prosperity will be shared by
the smaller classes that rest upon the
people, The aristocrat believes that if
you will only legislate to make the
we'll to do prosperous their prosperity
will leak through on those below. You
will find that the Democrat looks at
public questions from the standpoint
Of the masses and asks what will be
best for the people as a whole, while
the Republican leaders eulogize the
captains Of industry and regard tho
employer as a sort of trustee whom
the government should give all that l..
intended for the employees.
Time Ripe For Democrats.
1.-The difference in the point Of view
will explain the difference in the rem.
edies proposed to relieve the present
financial stringency. 1t came from
speculation in Wall street, and the Re.
publican leaders have SO tied the coun.
try to Wall street that 100000 OF
people must shiver when the Wall
street spectators get cold. The Re-
publican remedies will provide that
the high financiers shall be well paid
for acting as guardian, while Demo
cratic remedies look to the protection
of the depositors and the business OF
the country.
1.-THE time is ripe for a Democratic
, appeal to the Democratic sentiment OF
the country. There is no doubt that a
large majority of the people take tho
Democratic rather than the aristocrat.
All that we have to do Is to convince
those who are really democratic in
sentiment that the Democratic party
can be trusted to be democratic If In
trusted with power. I believe that In
the coming congress our Democratic
senators and representatives will prove
themselves equal to the task imposed
upon them and demonstrate the fidelity
of the party to Democratic principles.
Then with a united party we can face
divided opposition and enter thu
campaign with the assurance Of vic.

Daniel Lectures Bryan.
Senator Daniel of Virginia, who was
| temporary chairman Of the Chicago
| convention of 1896, told Mr.. Bryan In
the crowded lobby Of the Willard hote
! that it was time he ceased considering
! himself better than his party, that i!
was time he ceased debating to the
! party and that it was time he ceased
| taking his cue from the independence
| League. Mr.. Bryan was not only
7 shocked by Senator Daniel, he was Wis
