Forces Behind Parker

That, my friends, is not the question.
We know who the candidate is as well as
the men behind him. We know that he is
the man chosen eight years ago, when the
democratic party, beaten in two cam
paigns, decided that 1t was worth while
to try and win campaign under the
leadership of those who had defeated US
In the campaign before (Applause.) The
country has not forgotten that the con-
vention was influenced to its act by the
promise of large campaign funds from
Wall street and they have not forgotten
the fact that, after the corporation man
agement had alienated the rank and file OF
the party, Wall street threw the party
down and elected the other man. Great
applause.)
"They have not forgotten that when the
vote was counted we had 100000 less
votes than we had in the two campaigns
before and 1,250,0o0 less than we did the
campaign four years afterwards. They
have not forgotten that 1t is the same
man. backed by the same influence, that
is to be forced on this convention to open
a progressive campaign with a paralyzing
speech that will dishearten every man.
(Applause)
MY friends, we have had time that en-
abled us (Mr Bryan was interrupted by
yells from the audience.) We have been
passing through great educational age
and the democratic movement has been
sweeping all obstacles before 1t around the
world In Russia emancipated serfs have
secured the right to a vote in their gov
eminent. In Persia they have secured a
constitution. In Turkey the man who
was In danger every hour of being cast
into prison without an indictment, or be-
headed without charge against him, now
has some influence in the molding of the
laws. And China. the sleeping giant OF
the Orient has risen from a slunber of
1000 years and today is a republic waiting

"And while the outside world has
been marching at double quick time
in the direction of more complete free
dom our nation has kept step and on
no other part of Gods footstool has
popular government grown more rap
idly than now. In every state the fight
has been waged. The man whom l pre-
sent has been the leader of the pro-
gressive cause in his state and once

you to find in 16 years where the can

dered effective service In behalf of any
man who was fighting the people cause

Now is the situation lCries of Par
kerr and boots and cheerings.) This is
the situation which we have to meet.
The democratic party has been the
leader-" (Renewed hooting, cries of
Parker" and cheering for Bryan.)
The chairman: Gentlemen. Mr. Bryan
has the floor
Mr.. Bryan: THE democratic party has
led this fight until Its action has slim
ulated host of republicans to initiate
them. / Will not say they have acted
as they have because we acted first;
I would rather say that they, at later
hour than we, have caught the spirit
of the time and are now willing TO
trust the people with the control OF
thier own government. tApplause,) We
have been travelling In the wilderness.
We now come in sight of the promised
land. During all the weary hours of
darkness progressive democracy has
been the peoples pillar of fire by night

come. do not rob our party of the right

He never departed from the views
thus early expressed He denied the
right Of the Northern States to rernairA
IN the Union and nullify by their per
soral liberty" laws the constitution.
and laws of congress. put he always
maintained that under the constitu'
ton. a SOVEREIGN State had the right
TO withdraw from the Union. II the
compact" should be violated. 1t is
most interesting fact in his life, how
ever. that while always advocating the
right OF secession. he never advocated
the exercise Of the right In 1881 while
the spirit If secession was rife In Geef-
gle az previously 1t had been in many
Northern States, he strongly supported
the IFnionisf party, ana in 1850 he made
a memorable speech against secess on.
before the Georgia Secession conven-
ton. in which he declared that he was
opposed to secession as remedy
against anticipated aggressions." ana
that the point nf resistance should
be the point OF aggression He de-
riared that II is to the interest of all
the States TO be and remain united un-
der the constitution or the United stat
es with n faithful performance by
each OF It's constitutional obligations
He admitted that Georgia had Just
cause for grievance. but he urged that
secession was not the remedy. nv
proposed a safer and sssz1er course.
@IIa~ eeunaaled delay, and he plead
for the Union, but true to his State
and the loyalty he bore her, he said.
In conclusion, that If the Judgment OF
the convention. representing as 1t did
the sovereignty OF Georgia. was
against his. he would bow in submits
sion.
''It was not long after the delivery
Of this speech that, although opposed
40 secession, he was called to take the
leading part In framing the consdtu-
ton Of the Confederacy. and also
called upon TO fill the Office of vice
president Of the new government
This was a magnificent tribute to
his pure and exalted character. and
evidenced the esteem in which his
honesty ability and patriotism were
held
Character we have long been
taught Is jewel OF priceless worth
and greatly TO be desired II brought
10 Mr. Step wealth. ~ worldly
hunors. but more than that. II brought
10 him the trusting love of a noble peo-
Pile and gave to him opportunities for
golden service to mankind oppor-
