BAILEY'S BRILLIANT SPEECH ON BRYAN. Concluded From First Page. contemporaneous with that of the Xepobho it was ordained to protect and nourish. It sprang from the great bruin that the Declaration of Independence sprang from. It was founded by him who laid the endur ing foundations of our Republic Thomas Jefferson, It has withstood all the vicissitudes of our national fortune. It has endured defeat that would have scattered aty other poli tical party to the four winds; it has administered upon victories that would have intoxicated a less sub stantial organization. In victory and defeat, in peace and war, iu prosperity and adversit, it has maintained its onward course; and today it stands forth more uuited, more numerous, more certain of its mission and more militant than at any hour since the great days when Andrew Jackson lead it. We can account for a fact like this in no ordinary philosophy. But we must account for it. Wherein is the eleuieut of persistance J-o force ful in the Democratic putt)? How do we account for its survival? How do we expiiiiu its litu in view of the passing 1 1 to iius.y of us rivals? There is but one exlanutioii.

So loujjas meu shall seek freedom, so lo.ig us equality shall move the hearts of men; so long as liherty is the lode-star of mankind; so long as the dream of self-goverunu'ut leads on the race; so long as God meunsjtbat men shall learn to govern themselves, each iu the interest of all, aud all in the in terest of each, so long may wa rest assured of the truth of the words oi the great Vauce "Democracy is im norta' and cannot die!" Our Present Tasks So much for the past, an J so much for defeat. Our hearts now turn to the present, the future and victory. We have every reason to believe in tne destiny of the Demo cratic party, and every obligation in a time like this to give of our best in thought and devotion to it. We understand why the Demo cratic party was kept out of power the hist thirty years following the great war. It was the logical con sequence of that war and the assas sination of Lincoln. But these foices hhv. now for jears been far pent, liow shall we account then, for our unbroken series of defeats since 1890? It would be uo mystery if onr policies had been rejected, bnt they have been largely adopted, as 1 have shown. I think I ca'i account for this po'itical paradox of the progress of a party's cause notwith standing the party's defeat. The body politic in our Republic has undergone a great transforma tion within the last thirty years, aud as a consequence, we have had a new and difficult factor to deal with. Under tne fostering care of the Re publican party politics nas become a commercial asset, and as a conse quence in evjiy cmpiiga of late, we have heurd nothing uf the great principles of popular governmeut, but much of full dinner pails, empty dinner pails, panics and prosperity, wages and pii es. 'J he increased sensitiveness ot the business eleuieut to the possible effects of political change being no other thuu that same dread of change which is the foundation of throues has been the determining factor in American poli tics these last two uy years. Mark I Hanna was the prophet of this or der. It was he who raised the tri umphant war-cry of the full dinner paU and by so doing crushed in de. feat the Knight Errant of mankind, -who spok not of things as sordid bnt rather of the Crown of Thorns, the Cross of Oold and the Cause of Kan. This transformation accounts for the extensive political couf usion of the last si J tee u years. It has re quired so long for the new factor in politics to work out its effects. It Bret fnjfutenrd the people with the horror of change. It then misle l the people- -these who couceived or politics as a mea., s of privil -ge de ceiving the people into thinking t hat the people's interest was identical with the mtrs-8 :f the pmiir-gfd. But it remained fi;r the re -eiu o:iu paigo to ci-at the an: A-.ti the clearing away of this coot u ion i 1 j in battle for th lif of t kepub worth all it has cost. Ami us we ius ai d tad welfare i.f iu-Mi iud. taiid today,.-the liepubliciu party' lu'uubt remarkable, tins dis. a 1 1 in Tictory but pledged to '' and owned by these privileged interests and the Democratic party defeated, bat purged of all taint of control by the classes in the interest of privi lege, 1 say that the defeated are rather to be congratulated than the victorious. The Democratic party never was and never will be inimical to busi ness interests. Because it refused to sink our Repul lie to the interests of the privileged, because it declined to make politics a Susioess asset, be cause it spurned those who would make merchandise of patriotism, be. cause it was true to mm kind rather to any interests whatever, because it held fust to great principles ratht r than to time-serving policies, the privileged classes spread abroad the lie thai it was dangerous, a menace, etc., and a fearing people believed it. But they will not always be de ceived. The reckoning is now at hand. When it is asked, what shall the Democrats do now. I answer, let them bide their time against the hour when the Republican purtv proceeds to make goou with the peo ple and the privileged, ivjen nus us promises, it has given hostages to each. With one or the other it must break faith, and in eiche ' al ternative it will be impaled uuto us utter umloiuir.

It is the struggle for the people against the privileged tne predatory. The preaotory are already in cont.ol. By means of the tariff the taxing power of our Uepubuc is termed out to them as surely as was that of Rome in tne days of Matthew, the Publican The Democratic party comas on the scene in this hour like a ship cleared for actiou. Defeat and bigb endeavor have cleansed her of those wno wouia .have used her. she is the m'ghty free instrument ready a d at for the strong arm of the awakened giant. He will arouse, and he will strike, never fear. For the people will not suffer their gov eminent to be taken from them. lo such an end has our party been kept; and fit for sach a mis sion has it been sent into the wilder ness. Thank God it returns cleans ed "Fair as the moon, bright as tot sun auu more terrible than an army with banners!" We have, but to held ourorguiz tiou to this high courie, niaiuuiu ing iu its individual leadership, lo cally as well as nationally, aud tri umph is assured. My most emphat ic word to my fellow " Democrats at this time is this: Remm;er wbi.t service our party has perfoiuied; consider what a mission now awaits it; and put in comman ; of u, local ly aud nationally, men worthy of so uoble a fact and so high a isuny, aud we eannut fail. Our Watch and Ward tm Kp, And yet in the face of such a his tory and such a destiny, Republican leaders, intoxicated witt) otlice, are telling us that th Democratic party has played out, and they have actual ly invaded the piecincts of the 6outn made scored oy the immortal record of restoration under Demi cratio guidance, and are inviting Soutuern men to throw principles and giatitude to the winds and join their army of the privileged, wnosr highest thought is of the swollen pocket-book aud whose war ci'y" is tne full dinner pail. 1 tell you they have reckoned for ouce without t ieir host. They conspired to make us Republican by force colled Re construction. We overthrew them and drove them forth. They threat ened ua with reduction of our rep resentation. We defied them. They allured us with promises of ollh e, aud we spumed them. They come now uud with tOJthing words seek to seduce us with power aud pnvil 'ges. For their condescension we return coiiietnpt. We will not be patron ize! f)v anybody, iceitamly u,,i by KepibliiMtis. Jj)r their proru.ses of ;nvi,ege we left ou hu'.b the ancient Oiiiii.er our principles Equal ii'jehi to all, bpeo.al Privileges to mu.e we throw the gauntlet at til'.'ir feet and (ihallenvn thnui tn closure of the Republican attitude towards the South. Mr. 1 alt s de claration both prior to and since his election that the oontn is not a part of the Union and that it must break in the iuterest of the Republican party before it can be so r garded is amusing if not insult ag. We are not glad at any rate to have him so flatly confirm what we have suspect ed that Republicans do not regard the South as in the Union. Join the Republican party and be. come a part of the Union! Is not that a refreshing piece of political wisdom from a President-elec'? I have not known such political con ceit since that of Louis who said of France, 'I am the State!" This comes with little grace froii the Republican party that pmty which destroyed the South fifty years ago ia an effort to make it tirst Republican rath r ihau a part of the Union; that party which here con fesses that it has u-ver regarded the South, as it has mver treated the South as a parr, of t e Uiiiou!

We look forward toauetter day. We hold forth tin promise that the South and the Dcmocra ic party shall soon rtturn to their places of power in the United Stat-s. We have been in a strange land, aye, siraugrs iu our father's house; we have huug our harps ou the willow tieeand wept for Israel's captivity; but we have not bowed the knee; we have not been patronized; we have uot feared. We have been true. And by the Eternal God we will uot falter now. We have our watch and ward to keep. We will keep the Democratic pai ty as it has kept us, and we twj will ki-ep the fiitu against the swift upproachiug hour when oar Republic weary of the policial of privilege, turn again to hat the ligiit that led its feuuders ia glory. I know sirs, my ppeeiU is over long, I crave uow only tue opportu nity to conclude. Tkr Coaling it ay. Iu my view theu, Mr. President, it was neoessaiy that we should uiaKe this u'nt, and it matters not that we have met with defeat! It was a fiht iu a warfare the result of which is as assured as it the des tiny of our race to him toat believes in the overruling righteousness ol God. And so haviug fought well, we have not.hlrg to rearer. let us then, rather, instead of repining, fight on. Let us now forwaid to that sure day when the bauue.s of Democracy shall triumph iu our great couutry. Iu that day, aiu heaven grant it shall soon come, we shall see once more our nut. on ad minis ered by Democrats, uud in the iuterest ot tuaiikiud and uot of privi lege.
