Mr. Stephens spoke as follows: Mr. Lewis spoke as follows: “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tha convention: For this great honor feeling of the heart” said he. “I peraeiiy Op ue renee, coulereeu upon cannot tind words that will express me, I am profoundly grateful.

For political questions stantially as follows: will loved me and would be mine forever this is the proudest moment of my life. I take a peculiar and especial in | terest in grand old Missouri It is a wonderful state. In natural | resources it has been blessed above othors. It seems as if the Creator had | made it to shine as the central star | in the glorious galaxy of the Amer | jean union. | I loye all the states of our grand | old Republic, but above them all qT love Missouri. | Here my parents were born, lived | out long and useful lives, and in its | soil they are sleeping. Here I was} born. Here I married a Missouri girl | likewise to the manor born. | No other home roof ever sheltered our heads outside the broad domain of this dear old state. No wonder then I love Missouri, because it is my native land. & No wonder then I would feel pfoud and honored beyond my de- serts to be its chief executive, one of the noblest and loftiest aspirations of a Missouri boy. The democrats, in national con- vention assembled, have given us a platform upon which every democrat, upon which every friend of humanity can stand; a platform which says what it means and which means what it says; a platform in which there is not the slightest semblance of acompromise or straddle upon any of the important issues of the moment. They have given us in the “boy orator of the Platte” and in the ship | builder of Maine standard bearers! who are platforms within themselves. Democrats who have spent many years of their lives in fighting the battles for the masses as against the classes and for the restoration of our fathers’ mouey to the position it occupied in the monetary system of | our country before it was struck down at mid-night by a conspiracy | that was both foul and damnable. © | There is no reason why auy dem ocrat who loves his party and who! loves his neighbor as himself should sulk or refuse to support his party ticket this year. | I believe, yes I know, that we are | on the side of right, justice and hu | manity. I believe that God is with us, and | that all the powers on oarth and in hell combined could not now rob us} of our victory if we remain true and | loyal, aggressive and determined to} the end. | Fellow democrats, I come before | you to day the bearer of glad tidings: During the last few months I have traveled extensively over our state. Chave received letters from every | voting precinct inthe state, and I am | satisfiea that if each and every one} of you will continue to do your duty | until the evening of November 3 next every man on our ticket will be elect- ed by at least 40,000 majority, our legislature will be dargely der ratic and we will pass from under the dark shadow which fell upon our fair dem- ocratic land two years ago, out into the bright sunlight of a long happy day. In conelusion I will say if God spares my life L will help carry the banner to vietory, but will not prom- | ise that I willmeke the best governor the state has ever had, nor will I promise you that | will make a ree- ord like that of the grand old roman, John 8. Phelps, or that eminent jur- ist, Silas B. Woodson, or Chas. C, Hardin, or chivalrous T. T. Critten- | den, or honest Jno. S. Marmaduke, | or that princely A. P. Morehouse, or dashing D, R. Francis, or that of our own eloquent leader, Wm. J. Stone: Dut I promise you I will do the best I ean and let the future historian write the story. If he says I was just and patient; without prejudice, a heart that beat in sympathy for the strug: gling masses; if he s 1 ed to the duties of the siduity; that my adui clean; that Lloved y augurated busi proved protitab and satisfactory be satisfied, I wil are practical quections. They are every-day questions, which touch the woe and welfare of every citizen. “I didnot bring to this conven- tion for effect a crown of thorns, or across of gold. Somehow. I felt a cross hasno place in a republican convention You observe those who speak of crowns and crosses do not mention the flag. It is entirely proper that socialists and anarchists should bear crowns and crosses, be- cause whom they crown to day they crucify to-morrow. There is too much of the sainted Lincoln wrapped up in the folds of: that flag for it to be waved in an anarchistic conveution; there 1s too much of the patriotism of Grant, Sheridan, Logan and Gartield for it to be unfurled in a convention run by Altgeld and Tillman. Let them take their crowns and crosses and carry them to the people; let them appeal to sectionalism;} let them strive to antagoaize the south and west against the east, but let them remember that we stand before the world, proud of the fact that the south unfurled the American flag oyer thirty years ago, that the west never had a flag, aud that the only standard we have is the stars and stripes. The last convention at Chicago, misnamed democratic, ran out a kind of a gang plank between democracy and populism, and the man that walks upon that plank wil! soon find himself in the camp of Altgeld and Tillman. God grant that the dem- ocracy of Jefferson will return from the wilderness after the next cam- paign, for we all appreciate an hon- orable foe. The republican party stands to day the only hope of the nation. It stands against the repu-| diation of a 100 cent dollar. It stands for a dollar that means that! the laborer shall have full and just | wages for his hire, and that a pro ducer shall have full compensation for his hire.

Previous to the meeting of the | Chicago Convention the New York ; World arranged to secure expres: | sions of opinion from the leading | European bimetallists on the effect | of the independent, free and unlim- ited coinage of silver by the United | States. The interviews are fof deep inter- time. None of the statesmen inter- coinags of silver by States. that what he called ‘a rash experi- hands of the President and Congress the power to force Europe into an intervational agreement. convinced, he said, that when the Wall street financiers saw how things were going they would move line and that they would probably succeed. The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, president of the Local Board, avd a member of the Salisbury Cabinet, expressed the opinion that free silver coinage iu this country would help rather than hinder an international agreement. and remarked, “I know of nothing to prevent America doing by France and the Latin Union.” Von Kardorff Wobnitz, member of the German Reichstag, said that “an energetic silver policy on the part of mote ths cause of international bi metallism,” and that he believed “the credit of the United States would be improved, not impaired, by such a policy, whereas the main. tenance of the present system would necessitate continuous loans of gold, which must ultimately lead toa gold premium.” The French bimetallists quoted, among whom are Senator Edward Fougoirol, Deputy Foquet M. Joun- art, late minister of Public Works and member of the Court of Com- merce and Industry; M. Edmond Thierry, the distinguished writer bn economical questions, are even more home in 1896. The Jefferson demo- crats never did believe in the doc- | trines saddled upon the demoeracy | by the populists and anarchists.

They believe that the triumph of the silver movement in America will have a decisive effect on the action of Ger- many. France and Russia, and, ulti mately, on Great Britain.
