This. Mr, President, is no fancied
picture. There are thousands and
thousands of just such men, and we
meet them or hear from them every
day, They are the strength of the
Democratic party today; they have
been its refuge and its shield in the
past; tbey preserved it from ann

can well see that they might be wil
ling to concede any fair and impar
tial distribution of the places under
the Government, on principle of
merit or anything else that patriot-
ism might demand of them, but
they will not submit to the disfran-
chisement of themselves and their
children. Mark what I say 1 And
I you will hot improve the matter by
impeaching the party of their mo
Itives and bestowing epithets upon
I them. ; They will, not fight to win

They will not preserve the discipline
and organization of their splendid
line of battle, and charge with their
ancient courage if the epaulets and
honors which - they " : . win

ternately firing upon each host.. The
mass or the people on both sides
demand an open fight and upright
and aownngbt dealing after the
fight. They . believe, too,, in the
common virtues of humanity,
among the most noble of which' is
reckoned gratitude. And so do 1
They believe that it a man's friends
take him np and enable him after a
great struggle to arrive at the point
coveted Dy bis ambition he owes
something to them. And so do I.
They believe that, other things b&
ing equal, in the bestowal of favors
that man should give preference to
his friends over his enemies. And
80 d They believe that the man
ho is lacking in the ordinary en
timent of gratitude may be likewise
wanting in other kindred and car
dinal virtues. - And so do 1.
And yet, Mr. President.' I believe
in reform -such reform as the peo
ple want and have been wanting
for ten years or more. Between
those who call me a spoilsman and
myself there is perhaps only a diff
erence of definition. They believe
that "reform" consists in a Demo-
cratio administration operated by
Eepublican agents; I do not. f They
believe in keeping Republicans in
office by law.after the people have
declared they shall go out; I do not.
They believe in Ignoring the people
and their representatives as far as
1 do not. They believe there can
oe no sincere reiorm unless iiepuo
thereof; I do. And lastly, I believe
that as good material lor, all civil
officials to be found in tbe Demo
cratie party as in any other, and
that it is the right and duty of a
Democratic administration to select
that material and none other as
the implements of reform: they - do
not. ' . . 1 :

the Enterprise declared the bill dis
