three years ago ! find some compen-
sation for the defeat when / recall
what Monmouth county did at that
time. It is one of the things of
which ! am proud.
The principles of democracy will
not down with a single defeat by a
small majority. 1t is square and
honest fight for the PRINCIPLES of
democracy that is now being waged,
and nothing can be said detrimental
to our party In this state.
"The history OF the last three
years shows that the people are
awakening to the principles OF the
democratic party, and we shall again
emerge triumphant not only In this
state, but throughout the entire
country.
THE time is coming and is not
far distant when the democratic
party will be swept into power large
ly through the efforts of the young
men, because they realize no other
party offer them the same opportu-
mites for advancement.
The republican party has ex-
hausted its every resource and has
made the actual necessities of life
luxuries the country to be free
nation with equal opportunities to
all must look to the democratic party
for relief.
Il do not want to create a false
impression that / am anxious to lead
our party again, because ! feel that
defeated general makes a poor
leader in another battle. Hence l
do not want to leave you with the
impression that / am desirous of
forcing myself to the front"
