ciples and incidentally tearing up

man by two speakers of more than or
dinary ability.
John G.. Gray opened the meeting
with short speech. introducing Hon.
Theodore A. Bell. of California. Mr..
Gray told Of the Denver convention
and the eloquent temporary presiding
officer, and said that he was delighted
and honored TO introduce this man as
the first speaker Of the evening.
Mr.. Bell received an innovation when
he stepped 10 the front Of tho stage.
The tall Californian said that he deem
ed Il great pleasure to return 10
Wilmington and. renew acquaintance
made four years ago.
AT that time" he said, u was the
guest Of one Of the great fraternitics
and our thcme was fraternity and
brotherly love. Now l am called upon
to discuss different questions"
Forthwith Mr.. Bell began to jump al
over the record Of the Republican
vice presidential candidate He said
his condemnations were not aimed al
the great mass Of Republican voters
but at the Republican leaders. who. he
said, have betrayed the Republican
voters.
Jumps on Sherman
The great leader OF the great
party" he said, has put the question.
Shall the people rule? and James
Schoolcraft Sherman has the immacu-
late nerve TO declare that the people do
rule through the Republican party. lie
knows better He knows that the
great law-defying corporations arc
back Of him and his party He has
served twelve years in the popular
branch of Congress from the Empire
state. We challenge the Republican
party TO lay a finger on any great
popular measure that hears Sherman
name. He has simply been the errand
boy for Uncle Joe Cannon and his
reward, as a go-between. was the
chairmanship of the committee on
rules. He was the creature Of Cannon
and the favored corporations"
The speaker then called attention tc
the President. saying that Roosevelt
was a great letter writer. He mem
toned the Hartman letter and re-
called Shcrmau's appeal 70 Hartman
for campaign funds in 1906 and said
