He said he knew it was the habit of speakers at every election to mag- nify the importance of questions presented, but there was no reasons to doubt the assertion made at this time. The agitation of questions be- fore the people very frequenily im- péelied party leaders and parties into positions over which they had ap- parently no control. The tendency of the Republican party for the last eight or ten years culminated in an attitude which very conservative members of that party would have prevented if it were possible. That tendency was towards the centraliza- tion of power, the encouragement of the protected interest ot the country, and to place the principal go-ern- ment machinery into the hands of those who represented the moneyed power and strength of the nation. The Governor continued as‘ fol- lows: “Anyone who was an observer of what led to the nomination of Me- Kinley and the adoption of the plat- form in St. Louis at the Republican Convention, will see how that party reached its ultimate in the abuses that had crept into it for the last decade. There never was presented, since the day of the Roman Empire, when the crown was purchased from the Pretorian Guards, a picture of as flagrant a purchase of the candi- dacy of a great and powerful oftice. It could not be said of Mr. McKinley that he openly espoused any such purchase, but he represented the principles of those who have control of the interests that I speak of, and was the ablest servant that they could obtain or select for their pur- poses. “It was evidently the intention of many of the leaders of the Republi- can party, before the assembling of that convention, to adopt a platform the less extreme in its declarations; but the demands of the moneyed power of the East, representatives of the bond holders of Europe, pre- vented it. New York’s demand, through her delegation,was that the word “gold” should be in the plat form. Sound money would not do. [t must be gold—gold—gold! And so it is put down in the contract,and | the Republican party is pledged to- day, its strength and entirety asa a party, to the indorsement of the! crime of 1873in demonetizing silver, and to the sustaining as against all our local interests the policy of the bond-holders of England.

And here let me not forget to remark | that we owe something to President Cleveland in that the issue is pre | sented as it ie. The defection and treachery of President Cleveland and his Cabiuet has helped to improve the character of the politics of the country. Their very faults caused the advanced position taken by the Democratic party, and I sin cerely believe will inure to the ben- efit of the country. “The Democratic party is no long- eron the defensive. It is active, brave, vigilant and aggressive. Such being the condition of affairs in this country, it is not all surprising that there sprang into the arena at Chi- cagoaman who had no eftiliation with the old leaders of the party,but who has commingled and affiliated with the masses of the people, sym | pathized with them, discovered their } wants,responded to their aspirations | and should be selected as the stand. | ard bearer of the new crusade.
