primary movement all over the
country which is to take the gov
ernment OF the party out of the
hands of the people, The growth
demonstrates that the people are
sound at heart. | have great faith
in the success ofDemocratic prin-
ciples for three reasons.
First b .cAuse there is per
oeptible growth of Democratic
policies.
Second Because there is unity
in our own party, whiie there is
division in the Republican party,
Our party is more united than it
has been for years, as the prinoi-
ples have brought the rear guard
up to the firing line. The Repub
loan party is divided and | am not
afraid of its getting together. Il
is divided into two ~oleeYeaist there
Iformer and the stand patter, and it
is fight t. fnish between them
two. TIE reformer knows that if
he does not win that he will be
driven out of the party The stand
Ipatter knows that if he does not
win there is no place for him to
GO The reformers ara going about
the country with bell and ory out
to the people to wake up, as the
country is in danger, while the
stapdpatter comes along with a
bottle of ohloroform. and says,
"sleep on, sleep on.
Third The sense of jnstice of
the Amerionn people is being
aroused.
If we are going to appeal to the
sense of justice of the people we
have got to DO houest with each
other, and in this way only oan we

been urgjog through The column

attend their primaries and to speak
their sentiments at their home pre-
cinots. Sometimes, however. /
ind people who aaY that they think
hey are too good to TAKE part in
politics, and when fad man like
this, l think have found man
uot quito good enough to deserve
the blessings of freo government.
[ have never said to nybody that
| am the most available candidate
Tnat is not for me to determine
out it is for the people to cay who
they want. We must, however, go
before the Republicans and say
that we have been honest with our
selves, and then we osn command
on6denoe from them
Our party has been yindioated
all of its platforms, and the
platform of the Chicago oonver-
ion, which was SO strongly oon.
lemned bus been justified Tha
platform was the oreed of the me-
on's hope, and no platform has
aver been SO completely and fully
lndioatedt AT that time we said
vhen there was a per capita of $22
With falling prioer, that we needed
more money, but the Repu blioAns
4aid we had enough money.
Today we have $33 per oapits or
fifty per cent more than we had
then. Have we enough money
uow2 No. If we had enough
money in 1896 We have too much
now. Some of the people who .
few years ago looked down on
silver dollsrs, have however, re.
GENTLY looked up with tears in their
ayes to tho cashier, with their
ohe9ks and clearing house script,
but in vain
The came fellows who use to say
that the mines would give flood

our Republican brethren as the
