Washington January 16.-"The demo-
cratic party is as eternal as justice with

, as the truth for which it stands, was the
KEY note Of a speech made today in he
House by Mr. Sheppard of Texas.
Incidentally to his coming out for Bry-
an for the democratic nomination in 1873.
Mr.. Sheppard paid his compliments to the
republican party. and especially to the
stand patters.'
Speaking of the stand pat people Of
the republican party, he said:
Accustomed to limtless and perpetual
power, the republican party has drlfted
INTO a complete paralysis, hopeless n
ertia. stand pat is merely another eX-
preston for dry rot. Swollen with the
spoils of office, corpulent with the wine

is by a ruthless tariff law transferred
from the millions who support it, to the
masters who exploit it; stand pat Al

tighten the tariff taxes which il first I'M
posed as temporary burden, in the years
of war to double and redouble as pre-

stand pat although the tariff law itseil
provides for a reduction of its charges;
stand pat although Mckinley pleaded

riotous dissipation, a wanton waste"
'Roosevelt's attempt to secure popular
ity with measures which Bryan and the
democracy originated he said. lis like
the endeavor of plgmy to steal the
thunderbolts of Jove.'
Mr. Sheppard had something to say
about the President and simplifed spell

"The monarchial impulse is seen in the
republican President who tries to regulate
everything in the countr yfrom the size
of families to the method of spelling.
Since the President has begun to reform
