funeral and consigned him to tic tomb of political oblivion. but the deNl- ocratic masses persistenly refused tile tomb that plutocracy had so generouRly offered. Permit me to quote a little poem in this connection:
 He has no enemies you say,
 My friend you boast is poor;
 lie who hath mingled in the fray
 Of duty that the brave endure. Must have made foes.
 If he has none, small is the work he has
 done,
 He has hit no traitor on the hIp, He has removed no cup from the perjured
 lip
 He has never turned the wrong to right, He has been a coward in the fight"
 Those who look upon society as a field for sharp practice will oppose him in the general election-those who regard the rights of others as useless obstacles in the way of their greed depise him, and those privileged classes who prey upon the pub lJc treasury hate and denounce him. but every man who is trying to do his duty as citizen feels a just pride in him, and every man who is engaged in a legitimate business applauds his courage and his honesty Jackson was loved by the great mass of the people because he was their firm and fearless friend. The crafty aVariclous men of his day despised him because he denounced them as enemies to the government in which they lived. The purse-proud plutocrats hated him because he drove them from place and power, ex- claiming: By the eternal gods, the peo- pie shall rule"
 Today, when the whole country is tOk- ing for a man to stretch forth his kal- ing rod, as did Aaron of old. to giN 1.-the land deliverance, this Christian pa Hot surrounded by the hosts of democi hey, resembles a mighty cliff emerging from the sea. The waves of calumny have beat against 1t, the winds of hate have howled around it's massive form. the light ming bolts of sarcasm have descended upon it's brow and the clouds of misunder- standing have hung around its splendid head. But 1ookl The waves are calm, the winds are hushed, the sky is clear, the clouds are gone, and To, the rock is there supreme and indestructible.
 Who is this man of the people-this Daniel of the democratic party-this fore most advocate of universal peace? His name is William Jennings Bryan, the next President of the United States.
