A lover of mature, he pleads for trees and fields and fruits and harvests. In his solicitude for his feliow men, in his anxiety for the welfare of the whole people, there is profound affection for the human race. an undying devotion to those inetitutions which protect and shelter the weak and the poor from cruelty, avarice and ambition, Filial and fraternal, he pleads for hearth and home and all the blessed ties of family and friendship, and all the sacred sentiments and tender sympathies and exalted and reverent virtues of domestic life.

You know him as one Wwho considers that the problem which, amid flelds devastated and homes made desolate by { the hand of war, has come to you as a dread legacy of the past, is a problem which you alone are competent to deal wMM, and dealing with it the Government should let the South lone. You know him as one who by unceas- ing abpeals to their judgment and sense of justice has obtained from the best men of the North that sympathy for the South which the €ever-to-be-lamented Grady had pleaded for in vain in the very heart of Massachusetts. Gentlemen of the convention, men of the orth and of the South, of the East and of the West—accredited representatives of the Demoeracy—to you I say: Should your nem- ee be a man whose views on public ques- tions ars known, a man whose attitude on the questions which at this time confront th American people accords with the principls of your party? 1f he should, where will there be found one equal to him whose cause we are med by experience and service in lofty pub- [ here 1o advocate? SPEAKS OF ISSUE. It has been said. and truly said, that no campaign ever decides more than one issue. What then, is the issue which divides t he Democratic and Republican parties? W] Is the fundamental principle upon which they are in_ antagonism? What is the essential thing which Democracy stands for and which Republicanism antagonizes? Is it a question of tariffs or of tariff revislon? A question of standards of money? A question of re ating the currency or controlling the banki A question of expansion or of Imperialism? No. Important as those are the question is greater than any or all of these. them all. it is true. but it includes much more. detions of our institutions and strikes at the very existence of our government. Let euphe- mistic babblers gloss over as they may: let trimmers who shift their sail to every political breeze that blows evade it as they can: let time servers who usurp the name of Deme ocracy sneer at it as they will, still the ques- tion which confronts the American people to- day—which has confronted them with eves growing insistence since the Civil War—is whether this Government shall be carried on for the benefit of the people and of the whole pecple or whether it shall be manipulated for the. benefit of a privileged class—whether its great departments, executive and judiclal, shall It includes | It s a question which touches the very foun- | be perpetuated for the protection of the equal | verted into the plastic instruments of syndi- cated caital. PLAIN PEOPLE'S CAUSE. Gentlemen of the convention, if this is not the paramount Issue of this campaign, what Is the issue? It this is not the fundamental | question upon which the two parties differ, in j what do they differ? If the Republican party | does not stand to-day as the party of the priv- | llezed classes and as the exponent of the | money power, for what does it stand? \And it | the Democratic party does not represent the | antithesis of all this, what does It represent? ple—of the unnumbered multitudes who each morning implore heaven to glve them their daily bread, and who by daily toll earn the right to the fulfiliment of their prayer, is not the cause of Democracy, what is its cause? It {its mission is not to defend the equal rights of those who constitute the countless hosts of labor—not of labor in a narrow or restricted sense, not of labor confined to those only who receive a dally wage, not of labor organized in guilds of union alone, but of labor in its broad and catholic sense—of labor which in- | cludes all those who work with hand or brain, and who, whether In flelds of waving grain, in the glare of the forge, in the smoke of the furnace, amid the whifr of ever restless wheels, in the depths of mines, in the mephitic air of colliers, upon the decks of floating crafts, at the desk of the counting house, in the chemist's laboratory, among the books of the lawyer's library, in the merchant's shop, else forever upon the earth may be found those who fulfilled the great Creators law that man shall eat his bread in the sweat of his brow—if, I say, to defend the equal rights of these, the unprivileged and the less favored, be not the mission of Democracy, what mis- sion has it? If to protect them from the | schemes of spoliation and plunder of syndi- | cated wealth is not the justification for its | existence, what justification has it to exist? | Aye, gentlemen, if the cause of the plain peo- ple is not the cause to which vou are pledged, | devoted, consecrated by the very mame you | bear, by what title do you call yourselves | Democrats? By what right do you usurp the name of him whose memorles you profess to venerate, whose precepts you approve In your platforms, whose example you clalm to emu- late, by what right do you style yourselves followers of him who said: QUOTES JEFFERSO “T hope we shall crush in its birth the | aristocracy of bur moneyed corporations, which | dare already to challenge our Government to a | trial of strength and bid deflance to the laws of our country’'—of him whose ,cardinal maxim was ‘‘equal rights for all,’ special privileges for none,” of him whose life was one Incessant battle waged against the oppres: #lon of the many for the benefit of the few. rights of all or whether they shall be per- . the tolls, the struggles, the trials of life have neither weakened nor wearied him. He Is known to the country and to the world. He ie famous. He is renowned. He is admired and loved by hig countrymen. Strong and cheergil, firm vet kind, affable yet dig- stern yet tender, poscessed of a com- prehensive mind and wide information; accu tomed to deep reflection; of gentle manne and_engaging, he bears the stamp of an extraordinary man, whose splendid_equipment apd towering per- sonality mark him for the gravest duties, the noblest service and the highest honars. Born and reared in the East, his long serv- ice brought him in contact with the West for more than a quarter of a century. No man knows more of the West, its needs, its sympathies and its aspirations; and no man knows the whole country any better than he. A born Democrat, he s in full sympathy with the Democratic party and ite principles. An anti-imperialist, an anti-monopolist, devoted to the constitution, an heroic patriot, he stands forth the peer of any man of this age. He believes that there can be no just taxa- tion without representation, that the people of the Philippine Islands should govern them- selves. “That they who deny liberty to: others do not deserve it for themselves, and under a just God will not long retain it."” That the great republic cannot hold millions of people permanentiy in bondage without losing, first, its political character, and ultimately ita political life. That we should renounce at once and forever the dangerous and deathly doctrine of imperfalism, and that 200 days is sufficient time in Which to set the Filipinos free. He believes that the constitution follows the flag; that constitution are the rights guaranteed by the inviolable wherever the flag symbolizes the civil power of the United States; and that the right of trial by jury i= sacred wherever the United States main- tains civil government. He believes that the military should be kept in strict subordination to the civil power. That an injury to one is thaz concern of all: that military despotism in Colorado menaces the rights of every American citizen and is ominous of a reaction which may blot out the liberties of all men, WHAT MILES BELIEVES. He believes that we should have a navy sufficient tc defend our extensive coasts and protect the rights of our people and our coun- try cverywhere: but he belleves also that upon ship should be written ““Millions for de- fense, but not one cent for conques! He be- licves in the economic doctrines of the Demo= cratic party. He belleves that there should be no tax except for a public purpose. He pelieves that the industry and substance of the people should not be exploited by criminal combinations; that the law against conspiracies in restraint of trade should be enforced and that offenders should be punished. He be- liecves that labor is the base of the social system; that the base cannot be despised; that the laborers and producers are the salt of the earth, that their broad shoulders and strong arms support the whole fabric of civ- flization, that they constitute the great body of_the people and must never be enslaved. That property has rights also, but that the maintenance of those rights does not require that a limited and constantly diminishing num- ber of persons shall be permitted to monopolize all of the property of the country; or that a pampered banditti shall be permitted to defy the laws, absorb all wealth and enslave the people. He belleves, with the immortal Washington, that the mission of the republic is peace, justice and liberty. That we must teach peace by being peaceful, and we must teach justice by being just; that we must teach liberty by aintaining our own liberties and by never denying liberty to any people. He believes that this nation has been a world power from its birth, that it was a world power when that ola bell rang out from Independence Hall, liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof. That it was a world power when by the force of its example it caused republics to take the place of mon- archies in all South America, Central Amer- jca and Mexico. That it was a world power when by the force of its- example it caused the great French revolution, shattered absolutism and gave to continental Europe, except Rus- sia, constitutional government. 'That it was a world power when it inspired Japan, glorfous Japan, to cast away the cruel bauble of a tocracy and adopt a free constitution. upon the principles of democracy. That for more than & hundred years it has been such a great world power, its light has so shown in the world that if bas attracted to these shores the oppressed of all nations, drawn to this country by the justice of its laws and the magnanimity of its character. But it has not been an imperial world power, and only the enemies of liberty would have it so. It has been a democratic power, a republican world power: the mother of republics, the fountain of democracy and home of ' *’lib- erty .enlightening the world. Our candldate must be a man against whom no faction will wage war; he must be a man whose eminence, experience and ability are a guarantee of his fitness for the Presidency. CANDIDATE OF NO FACTION. A man whose personality and whose career will arrest the attention and challenge the ad. miration of the people. If we nominate an unknown or prosalc candidate, titled medioc- rity and counterfelit greatness will continue to call forth the applause of the multitude. The man who fills in full measure the re- quirements of the hour is General Nelson A. Miles. 1f nominated he will be the candidate of no faction, but of the whole Democratic party and all patriots. He will receive the vote of every Democrat in the United States. He will receive the independent vote, the anti- alist peace vote and the citizen vote. He will receive the votes of all those I el S e of the ng sident e and dis- honor him, and to degrade and dishonor other illustrious ' men who have earned the praise end lasting gratitude of their countrymen. His name will warm the hearts Stir ‘the blood of every comrade of the 1 War. They will recognize in his thelr last opportunity to vote for one of their own for the great office of President. His candidacy will arouseé the generous, chivalric spirit of every man fascinating and noble presence, | o Who wore the gray. With such & | the man as ex-Senator Harris for Vice President the ticket would make an epoch in our his- tory. United in their wider comradeship of American valor, now the proud heritage of the whole American people, the survivors of that great struggle, both North and South, would rally - to the Democratic standard al- most to a man. The one man whom the Repub- licans fear {s Miles. The one man whom the White House fears is Miles. They fear him because the envious shaft aimed at heart by the acting President fell harmless at his feet, and they fear its rebound if he is nomi- nated. They fear him because of his record, because of his personality, because the splen- dor of his career and the grandeur of his char- acter would so outshine the acting President as to.pale his boasted exploits into utter in- significance. Any honest Democrat can carry the South. Miles can carry not only New York, and New Jersey, but Massachusetts, Rhode TIsland, Connecticut and New Hamp- shire. He can carry Indiana, Tlinois and Wis consin. He can carry the Pacific States and the mountain States. He can carry Nebraska and he can carry Kansas The people want for their President a man clean-hearted and high-souled; a man upright and honest of purpose, with ability of high order. -They don’t want a madman. They don’t want a wild man. They don't want a man possessed of illusions or possessed by il- lusions. They don’'t want a man whose vault- ing ambition would burst all bounds and sun- der all restraints and plunge the nation into needless dangers and inflict upon the people needless sufferings and sacrifices. They want a man whom they can love and trust and admire for his manhood, for his judgment, for his humanity, for his integrity, for his stainless life, for his great career, for his kind heart, for his sound head, for his democratic instincts and for his love of liberty. A man who will restors the constitution, re- e the old veracity, enforce the laws, re-es- justice, xever the head of monopoly and and break the chain and set the captive free and proclaim once more. ‘‘Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all na- tions, entangling alliances with none." T nominate for President that peerless pa- triot, soldfer and statesman, that noble, that incorruptible. that fllustrious citizen, General Nelson A. Miles ——— BEARD SECONDS HEARST. Floridan Sounds the Praises of the Man From California. ST. LOUIS, July 8.—John S. Beard of Florida, in behalf of himself and four delegates, seconded the nomina- tion of W. R. Hearst. He said: Gentlemen of the Convention: In the name of four delegates from the State of Florlda, who in my judgment represent the overwhelm- ing Democratic sentiment of my State, 1 sec- ond the nomination of Willlam Randolph Hearst. The Democracy of Florida desire the nomi- nation of Hearst because the paramount issue to-day fs the trust question, and Willlam R. Hearst is the most persistent and aggressive opponent of the trusts and all of the hardships and evils attendant upon their unrestrained oppressions of the people. The Democracy of Florida desire the nomination of Hearst be- cause we belleve that he is the only man who can carry into the Democratic column the pivotal States of New York and Illinos and Which are essential to Democratic success, and Democratic success only can rescue the South from the degradation of Rooseveltism and ne- grolsm. We know that there are distinguished gentlemen here from the State of New York who loudly proclaim that Judge Parker alone among all of the candidates can carry New York, It is worthy of the consideration of this convention that the leaders of this coterfe are the very gentlemen who in 1893 as vigorously protested at Chicago against the nomination of Cleveland and who as confl- dently predicted that the nomination of Cleye- jand meant the loss of the State of New York to the Democratic party. We believe that these gentlemen are as badly mistaken to-day in thelr assertion that Parker and Parker alone can carry New York as they were in 1892 in_thelr prediction that Cleveland could not. We believe that Hearst can and will carry New York if this convention makes him the standard bearer of the Democratic party. RS R REINHART QUOTES BIBLE. In Seconding Hearst Iowan Resorts to Use of Scripture. ST. LOUIS, July 8.—In a" short speech full of scriptural quotations Reinhart of Towa seconded W. R. Hearst's nomination. He said: Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Convention: We are here to-day to present to the country & winning issue and a winning candidate. The dominant jssue in this campaign is the same issue that has been dominant in every cam- paign in history. It is an lssue that involves all other issues and is as old as creation itself; an issue that formed the first plank in the first platform of the Almighty when he said, “By the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread”; and that issue was reaffirmed at a later period when he said, “‘Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work': an issue that had for its first champion no less a ieader than the great and tender Christ, who said, laborer is worthy of his hire.” The man who deserves the nomination of this convention knows that a laborer is gome- thing more tran the minion of a money mag- nate, who fattens on his brawn; something mcre than a retainer for the trust baron who lives in a castle built by the exactions of a robber tarlff; something more than the of some lord of lucre whose slightest is law and whose command becomes the sentence of the. it court; more than an Ind l! lm' 'lm‘ ‘must it to rob- ry perpetually without protection, envying thief who picks bis pocket most artistically I the cause of the people—of the plain peo-: I repeat it, s privileged and the less favored be not your cause: if to secure them equal rights be not your mission; if to protect them against the oppression of syndicated capital be not the justificat.on of your existence as a party, aye, sirs, if you are here to-day bent upon outdoing Republicans In_truculent subserviency of Re- publicans to the money oligarchies of Wall street; if you are here tremulous With ap- prehension for fear of giving them offense; if you are cherishing the hope of placating their antagonism, winning their favor by sub- | serviency and regaining office and place by the aid of their influence and the corrupting power of their gold; if the party has sunk so low, it it has reached this depth of contempt- ible degeneracy, rise from thy grave, immortal spirit that sleepeth under the sod of Monti- cello, rise, rise and rebuke _the recreant Democracy which, with hypocrisy in its heart and with a lie upon its lips, dares usurp the name of Jefferson. HEARST IS NAMED. Not among those shall our candidate be found. His political practice and _political creed find fitting expression in his address ac- cepting his nomination for Congress, where, In words that Jefferson might have uttered, he said: “I have always devoted my energy and abllity, whatever they may be, to the cause of the plain people, and I shall continue to do so. The laws must now be applied and | where necessary must be strengthened to pro- tect the peaple against that powerful and un- scrupulous criminal combination known as a trust.” Unswerving In his devotion to these prin- clples, constant as the needle to the pole 'u his purpose, he stands before the American people to-day. And as surely as, in spite of the opposition of the monarchical followers of Hamilton, as surely as, in spite of the enmity of the United States bank fame has inscribed upon the roll of the chief magistrates of the republic the,names of Jefferson and Jackson, s0 surely, in spite of the obstruction of syndi- cated capital, will it there inscribe the name of — beneficent and undying genius of Dem- ocracy, thus that in the end has ever ruled destinies of mankind, speak thou, speak, till the valleys and the plains shall ring again: speak till every mountain peak shall find a tongue to proclaim, even to the uttermost con- fines of the republic, the name of the uncon- quered antagonist of all schemes by which men, trampling every right and justice under foot, builds his eminence upon oppression and wrong: the name of the foremost living ad- vocate of the equality of man, to which the fathers of old consecrated their lives upon the bloodstained flelds of the Revolution, the name of the champion of the rights of toil. the foe of privilege and monopoly, the friend of all who labor and are heavy laden—the name of Willlam Randolph Hearst. e and voting him into office as a reward for his deft toych. He will have more regard for the thousand girls who toll in a factory than he has for the owner of the factory who lives in a palace and negotiates a decayed forelgn title in exchange for the virtue of his deughter. In the name of the {ssue of human rights which was first spoken into being by the omnipotent flat of Jehovah, and in behalf of the milllons of the people in this country who earn their bread by the sweat of their faces, 1 second the nomination of a man who em- bodies all the potentialities that make a great champion of the people—a faithful and efficient servant of the average man. I second the nomination of a man great enough to know the issue and courageous enough to meet it; a man who for twenty years has fought the good fight and kept the faith; who has been in the forefront of every battle for humanity; who has endured the hottest fire of the enemy without flinching, and from whom all the poisoned shafts of malicious envy and malig- nant calumny have glanced harmiessly because he wears the armor of eternal right. 1 second the nomination of William Randolph Hearst. e SIDENGY PLAGED IN NOMINATION BY DISTINGUISHED ORATORS DELMAS COMPARES THE CONSTANCY OF W.

Moses Wright Says the South Wants Parker for President. ST. LOUIS, July 8.—Moses Wright of Georgia, in seconding the Parker nomination, spoke as follo Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Conven- tion: It was claimed in a recent national con- vention that Georgia blood coursed in the veins of the nominee of the Republican party. Thi may be true, but with Georglans Democracy is thicker than blood. We bring to you to-day j the message that from among the oid red hills of Georgia there will come later tidings of Democratic victory for 1904 surpassing all the glorious achlevements of the past. In striking contrast with the solemn occa- slon when our Republican friends met and 'stood pat’" is the genuine enthusiasm of this great gathering. The spirit which gives birth 1o this enthusiasm s the spirit of victory. The smiles of contentment which we wear to-day are in contemplation of the political harvest which we_ expect to reap in the fall. As for our Republican friends, the frost seemed to fall in the early summer convention, and their prophecies were blighted ere the autumn hours. ‘We shall demonstrate to those who have pre- dicted discord that ours will be a united party joined in harmonious fight against the enemy. We shall present to the American people & | platform which declares the will of the party fearlessly and with no uncertainty; which bold- ly attacks the injustice and unfairness of the Republican policy and offers a remedy therefor. The platform we offer strikes a death blow to the unlawful trusts and to the unjust tariff which fosters and protects them. We go to the people with a policy which knows no_discrimination, North, South, East | or West, but is tender in its consideration of | the righis of every section under the American ag. PROSPECTS OF VICTORY. Realizing the bright prospects of victory in 1004, the South began early solution of the problems of selecting the strongest leader for Democracy’s standard bearer. We belleve that we have gelected wisely and well. We looked for a leader with a clean life, possessed of a wise conservatism and a broad statesmanship; one who stood by Democracy in sunshine and shadow; was equally loyal to the party in stormy hours of defeat and in the brighter days of victory. We found such a leader, Georgia claims the honor.

Parker of New York. This _instructed Georgia delegation was the beginning of the tidal wave which has swept the States and Insures to-day the nomination of the great New Yorker. Georgla is ¢lad to-day to second the nom- ination of one whose strength of character and simplicity of life have endeared him to the Amerfcan people. A learned jurist who glories in the recreation of his rural home, where on his farm he finds delight in honest pursuils followed by the great mass the American people; a man whose name has be- come the synomym of victory; one whom the people have tried and approved, whose honesty, abllity and statesmanship have stood the test. and who feems to meet the emergency of the hour tc fill all the requirements of an ideal leader of a great party.

A motion was made and carried out that Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama be in- vited to address the convention. HOBSON TAKES PLATFORM. Hobson accepted the invitation and made his way from the Alabama dele- gation to the platform. He was greet- ed with a round of applause and the usual cries of “louder” when he had uttered but a few words. He complied promptly with the request and reveal- ed the best and strongest voice that has been heard in the convention. “What President has been brave Pears’ soap responds to water in- stantly; washes and rinses off in a twinkling.

He passed on to the color question and declared that when the black or yellow races came into contact with and uncertainty of the present administration toward Alton B.

Let us remember to-day that we are gath- ered together to carry out the will of the people; that thelr volce is sovereign: that they are the final tribunal. What is the will of the people? Certainly If the delegates ever knew the man whom the file and rank the Democratic party wanted them to nom- inate they know to-day. No organized move- ment was ever behind a candidacy of Judge The people, having learned of him, lrulhhd him and felt an unbounded confidence in him. Across the continent, from the of Maine to the peach-covered hills of ¢ where the ripening Elbertas are being kissed into golden color by the sunlight, there is a trusting confidence of & people confidently awaiting the tidings of Judge Parker's nom- ination. / Let us meet in a spirit of fraternity and carry out the will of the people.

A shout from the Southern delegations greeted this. He declared that Booker T. ‘Washington would outlive his undoubted useful- ness if he did not cease to heed the teachings of the Republican party. He urged the men of the West and North to refrain from oppressing the South by advocating anything that tended to obliterate the racial lines. He deprecated the fact in the Republican convention that one man had risen to speak against the plank in that party's platform which urged a reduction of :::‘t:::n representation of alleged disfranchisemen voters in the South. 5 The speaker worked himself i high pitch of excitement as with l:r’;ll: face and ringing voice he drew & pie-
