People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1896 — Democracy’s Champion. [ARTICLE]

Democracy’s Champion.

The Democracy has chosen a champion for whom no apologies are necessary. No apprehension is excited. He can take care of himself and his party’s interests wherever he goes. As a western man in the east he has inspired respect, as a northern man in the south he has won affection, as a young man among veterans he has commanded obedience. It is‘ a far more wonderful achievement than Alexander Hamilton’s influence in the organizing period of the nation or than Chatham’s part in the overthrow of Walpole.—St. Louis Republic.
