We repudiate the construction placed on the iinaiicial plank of the last democratic national convention by President Cleveland i nd Secretary Carlisle as contrary to th* plain meaning of English words, and as being an act of bad faith, deserving the s* verost censure.

"We, the democrats of the United Stales, in national convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to those great essential principles of justice and liberty upon which our Institutions are founded and which the democratic party has advocated from Jefferson’s time to our ownfreedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of conscience, the preservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the law, and the faithful observance of constitutional limitations. ‘‘During all these years the democratic rarty has resisted the tendency of seltbh Interests to the centralization of governmental power, and steadfastly maintained the Integrity of the dual scheme of goviinrnent established by the founders of this republic of republics. Under Its guidance and teachings the great principle of local self-government has found Its best expression in the maintenance of the rights of the states and in its assertion of the necessity of confining the general government to the exercise of the powers granted by the constitution of the United States. ^ "The constitution of the United States guarantees to every citizen the rights of civil and religious liberty.

"We favor the admission of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma Into the union as states and we favor the early admission of all the territories having lhe necessary population and resource to entitle them to statehood, and while they remain territories we hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any territory, together with the District of Columbia and Alaska, should be buna Mdr residents of the territory or district In which the duties an- to be performed.

veteran, who has borne the heat and burthen of lire day, and whose breast is marked from edge of sword and point of lance on a hundred fields. Twenty years ago the battle for silver was begun In th" lialls of congress by a modest, unpretending, brave man, not an iridescent nor meteoric statesman, but of the people and from the people, who has never faltered for an instant In the great struggle. Others doubted and wavered, some yielded to blandishment and patronage, and are now holding office under the gold power; others misrepresented their constituents, and have been provided for in the national Infirmary of the i>r« sent administration, but Richard Darks Bland stands now where he stood then, the living, breathing

embodiment of ihe silver cause.

"If you ask 'whence conics our candidate'.' we answer: Not from the usurers' den, nor temple of Mammon, where the clink of gold drowns the voice of patriotism. but from the farm, the workshop, the mine—from the hearts ai d homes of

tne people.'

'To reject him Is to put a brand upon rugged honesty anil undaunted coinage, and to chill the hearts and hopes of those who during all th* se years have waited for this hour of triumph. To nominate him is to make our party again that of the peo-

ple. and to insure success.

When Ihe state of Georgia was called. Mr. H. T. Eewis, of that state, came to the platform and put in nomination Mr. William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, saying that if public office was a reward for public servb cs. no man merited such reward more than lie. In the late political contests Mr Bryan stood among his peers, like Saul among' the Israelites, head and shoulders above nil the rest. "Honor him with the nomination," he said, "and you will do credit to the party and earn for yourselves the plaudits of your constituents and the

thanks of posterity.” Another Wild Scene.
