Amador ledger., 1908-09-04
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Unterrlfled Meet and Resolute,
and Nominate, and Indulge in
Bunkum Speeches.

the judges desk had been decorated
for the occasion with the representa-
tlves of the party. On the left was
picture of Grover Cleveland, the sole
democratic representative in the
presidents chair since ante bellum
days. On the right was the picture
of William Jennings Bryan, the twice
repudiated candidate for president,
and who is a candidate for repudia-
tion again. Why these two men
should be thus posed, we are unable
to say. Beyond the fact that both
we're called democrats, they had
nothing in common. Grover Cleve-
land rejected Bryan and Organism
IN his lifetime. lie did not belong
to that brand of democracy. If he
we're living he would doubtless be a
Bryan Iepudiator today.
The judges stand was profusely
decorated with flowers, literally
speaking strewing the pathway of
dem mocracy with roses.
In the absence of the chairman of
the county central committee, W. l..
Rose of Sutter Creek called the con-
ventIon to order, and announced that
the first business was to listen to a
fragment of a speech from Bryan
through the grapaphone. This tit-bit
from the lips of The peerless one
| ;nto ,k hal
on the subject of electiDg United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, which was declared to be one
of the most important issues before
the people. 1t was a very common
place talk, it's principal me1it being
its brevity. The grapaphone pro-
duction was poor excuse for the
living human voice. The young
Jackson band discoursed music both
before the convention met and while
in session, and hepled enliven the
proceedings.
| On motion John Lithgow of Sutter
