WHY HE HF1CAME A DEMOCRAT.
When the boy grew older he read a
few good hooks and in a quiet country
village pondered over the great ques-
tions affdrtlng the destiny of the State
and of the nation. Once convinced that
the government was beset by special In-

from It. slaves or gTeed and selfishness
lovers and power and dominion every

breast Impelled him to oppose and de-
nounce these enemies of the public good.

protection at the hands of the r. publican
party and bad to a large extent through

312 HARDY PRESENTS GRAY.
Little Delaware Offers Her Distin-
guished Jurist
While the Johnson ohoers were slowly
dying and the chairman was struggling
with the disorderly galleries U Irving
Ok - A Tv 1 - tt In. nn h
ol uQiiwarq w "e Jk
rostrum to name as a presidential candlr J
date George Gray of his Slate. When ha
was given an opportunity to speak ha
did so as follows:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-
vention: I haya a dutyo perform placed upon
me by the democracy of the State from
which I come. In the performance of
that duty my heart leaps with pleasure.
Because of his ability because of hla
patriotism because of the maturity of
his Judgment becauae of his devotion to
true democratic principles because of the
width aaul depth of his experience in
governmCntai affairs and because of his
devotion to Justice and to the constitu-
tion the man who is best fitted to per-
form the duties of president of the Unit-
ed States is George Gray. As a gen-
eral rule the man best fitted for the place
Is most available for the nomination.
MODE8T AS HE IS GREAT.
If you are to nominate a man be-
cause he is eager to be president you
will not name Judge Gray. There are
other candidates who want this nomina-
tion more than he does. This nian Is as
modest as he is great. Ambition le the
last weakness of great minds and ambi-
tion Is the greatest danger the people
have to fear Tn rulers. George Gray Is a
public servant without personal ambition.
In this he la like our first and greatest
president.
If you are to nominate the man whom
you personally love the best. perhae you
may nominal e some other candidate for
I am not unm Indful of the personal de-
votion which delegates here present cher-
ish for other candidates. Hut the ques-
tion we are now to deride la too Im-
portant to our party and our country to
he decided beosfuae of personal prefer-
ence? The republican party has been In power
too long. The government has grown
corrupt extravagant and' autermatlc. and
the prosperity of the people has taken
unto Itsel f wings and flown away. Free
Institutions exist in order that at such
a time as this the country may peace-
ably change its rulers and change its
policies.
Kntering on a pollt leal campaign Irj
which victory or defeat means so much
we are now to elect the political chieftain
who shall carry our banner and marshal
our forces If the country were In a
great war in which a decisive battle was
to be fought and the duty fell upon me
to choose tb.e general who would com-
mand our country's army In the field I
would not dare to put in command the
genet a I whom I loved the best n.r t he?
one who w as the most eager Hsjsr.ier
would on The responslbllit y wn ;ld 1m
overwhelming to choose the soldier whoae
genius for war. shown by his record and
experience gave the best prospet of
winning victory. You would not hesitate
to refuse promotion and opport r.r; 1 1 y to
your own brother If there were available
another soldier who gave greater promise
of winning the fight.
In 1 1 k e ifp i r 1 1 I ask you to put aside
all personal preferences and to e hoose
calmly and prudently the democrat who
can (most aurely win a democratic vic-
tory in November. I'ossibl v a . 1 y one of
the cand dates suggested may be able to
win at oe polls I hope so Hut our
plain dutj 's to nominate not a candi-
date who 1 ty win. but the candidate
who ca n most surely win We con ! end
for too great a priie to take any un-
necessary chances of defeat.
INDEPENDENTS HALANCE OF POW-
ER Our candidate must be one who can
command the support of our party and
at the same time attract the support of
Independent cltlsens who are not strict
party men. We may as well face the
fact that a majority vote In this coun-
try la always made up of the party vote
reinforced by the vote of a large body
of Independent clt liens. Hence a suc-
cessful candidate for president must do
more tha-ri hold the loyalty of his parti-
sans He must In audit Ion command
tlo confidence and win tbe support of
people who care nothing for party. Party
opinion N a great tiling and mil1'! bo
considered but public opinion Is a great-
er thing and mjst be obeyed Nominate
Ceor;o Gray and public opinion w 111 say
that we have proposed a man w hose. In -teliectual
nnd moi al Mature towers to tno
standard set bv tbe greatest and wisest
presidents in our history.
i ieiU Brt Gray s. life has been one long
and unselfish service of the people In
high places. Attorney general of hU
State a great senator of the 1 nitnd
Htatos for many years a treaty-maker
for the nation the moat successful arbl-
trator of disputes between labor and cap
Hal who ever lived and now In ids later
years a great and learned J odge his
merit has won the confidence and good
will of the whole people.
In the senate he was ever In the fore-
front of weighty debate championing
with eloquent logic the principles of
democracy In nut k Ing the treaty wit h
Spain he was the one commissioner who
tood truo to the doctrine of human
liberty and protested against taking tho
I'hilippines and strapping imperialism
upon the shoulders of the republic. In
Htt ling the ant h rue ite coal strike he
demonstrated his sympathy with the till-
ing masses of his fellow countrymen. His
Just finding endeared him forever to or-
f; an lied labor It Justifies me in apply-
ng to him the ancient description of an
upright Judge
QUALITY OE HIS UEB.
"He put on righteousness and It clothed
him; his Judgment was a robe and a
diadem; and he brake the Jaws of the
wicked and plucked the spoil out of hla
teeth."
Huch has been the quality of his life-
long service and ho stands in its white
light approved of the people
George Gray Is a moderate not a vio-
lent man. Wit h him as president Justice
and prudence will walk hand In hand and
peace will be restored between man and
man throughout our txjrders. He Is
sound not sensational and wit h htm as
president w shall have rest from tur-
moil ho that prosperity may come again.
Th country needs a rest Honest enter-
prise and honest toll need a chance to at-
tend to their own business and George
Gray n no meddler and can be happy
when he ir not engaged In a fight. If we
want Industrial prosperity we must es-
tablish and maintain industrial peace.
Tins man has the temperament the love
of Jr. ft he and the firmness of principle
to (.it Met abuses without disordering and
wrecking the affairs of the people. Iu
will hieak the Jaws of the wicked and
ptu k the spoil out of their teeth; but he
will know how to destroy the beasts of
prey without belaboring all of the do-
mestle snlmala He will stop predatory
wea Ith from depredations without ter-
rorltlng honest and Industrious wealth.
He is proKrcsnIve not revolutionary' con-
sUtutl nal not autocratic practical not
visionary
WILL PE ACCEPTABLE EVERY-
WHERE George Gray Is not only the man best
fitted to be president but he la also the
democrat we can most surely elect presi-
dent lie will be an acceptable candidate
In every part of our broad country.
Burely he wjll be peculiarly satisfactory
to tbe people of the Bo ut hern States
where we must look for that ever-faithful
body f electoral votes which constitutes
the backbone of our strength. Hla great
an! nun eyeful fight In the senate against
the force hill opened the safe pathway
down which those States have walked to
shelter from the black storm which
llir'Htenrd their civilisation. How re-
Jobrd would Southern men bo to see onoe
mote in the White House a president who
understands and appre dates the South-
ern men's point of view.
As to the group of States on the At-
lantic. Realmard 'Jjssnectlcut. New York
New Jersey. Delaware. Maryland and
West Vlrglnla-dhexe Is no doubt that
George Gray is far away tbe strongest
candidate that can be named. After all
these are the States in which our great
political battle must be fought and won
or lost. When did the democratic party
ever come within hailing distance 0 vic-
tory whUmut carrying those States'' It
would be wanton reTklessness to nlan
campaign which abandoned the chance of
to tha ftelusfra hop of maklnjr rood the
loaa la other poruoaa of tha field.
DELAWARE "ST PATRIOTIC.
Delaware la a small Stata but It to
sometimes gtveo to small people to per-
form great services. In offering Goorga
Gray as your presidential candidate Dela-
ware is offering a great eery ice to tha
party and tha country. Small as she la.
Delaware la entitled to a full measure of
Stats pride but this nomination Is not
suggested by State pride. She Is acting
not to gratify her great though unam-
bitious son. nor yet to minister to her
own glory. Rising to the heights of pa-
triotism animated solely by a desire to
contribute to the welfare of the whole
country without a spark of animosity to-
ward other candidates Delaware qjfers a
name entwined with victory a man who
Is every inch a democrat a man whose
every hlood-throb carries love of country.
On behalf of Delaware in accordance
with her Instructions and In her name X
nominate George Gray as a candidate lor
president of the United States.
PLATFORM COMMITTEE COMES.
Arrival Is in the Midst of Hardy's
peeoh.
When Mr. Handy had spoken for a few
minutes he was interrupted by the ap-
pearance of the long waited committee
on resolutions. The seats reserved for
the committee on the platform had long
before been filled and there was a con-
siderable delay and muchj confusion be-
fore the spectators could vacate the
chairs and surrender them to the com-
mitted. After the resolutions committee had
been provided with seats Mr. Uandjrt
proceeded with his speech. He asked the
democrats to give him close attention as
an offset to the difficulty of his position
by being cut short by the committee's ap-
pearance. The resolution committee waa
greeted with applause.
DEMAND FOR EAIR PLAT.
There were calls of "Time time" from
the galleries and Mr. Handy Jumped at
the erroneoua conclusion that they came
from some of the delegates. His Ire was
aroused and In a second ho changed from
oratorical to conversational ftngltah.
"What's the matter with you?" he de-
manded fiercely of the delegates. "What
has become of ypur spirit of fair play?
I have not apoken one-quarter as long as
the gentleman from Nebraska nor one-
third as long as the gentleman from Min-
nesota and you call 'time' on me. I am
offering you the best proposition you'll
get tonight and I want you to usten to
It."
Cheers greeted his remarks and Mr.
Handy with liberal encouragement from
the delegates he unjustly scored finished
his speech.
"Why heed the cry of passion when
prudence beckons you on to victory?"
demanded Mr Handy when another In-
terrupt ion came f mm the gal leries.
Chairman Clayton pounded for order.
"Hurrah for Bryan ' came from a spec-
tator. "Oh. shut up in the gallery" shouted
the speaker who then speedily brought
his address to a close. Some chearln
was heard when Mr Handy concluded
but there was no attempt at a Gray dem-
onstration. THE PLATFORM IS ADOPTED.
No Disagreement in Convention on
Document.
"Gentlemen of t he convention." said
the chairman. "I now have the pleasure
of presenting to you the chairman of the
committee on re sol utlons Governor
Haskell of Oklahoma."
The governor called forth loud cheers
from the con vent Ion when he announced
that there w as no division among the
members of the committee and that he
represented them all In presenting ih
report H- then read the platform.
As the hands of tha big clock opposite
the speaker's platform reached the hour
of mldntght nn assistant sergeant at arms
limbed on top of the railing and h topped
t hem. It was evident that there was no
desire to transact the important business
before the convention on the "unlucky
day" of Friday.
Scattering applause greeted the varloua-
plankH as they were read by Governor
Haskell
That portion of the plank on finance re-
ferring to the guarantee of bank depos-
its one of Mr Hiyan's favorite policies
elicited the most applause given up to
that time.
APPLACSE FOR PLATFORM.
The reading of the Injunction plank
was heard w ith the deepest attention and
tho decla re tlon tn favor of a revision of
the injunction law was first applauded
and other si ctlons were warmly ap-
proved When the plank waa finished
the convention brok e Into cheers.
Th" declaration in favor of the election
of sr-.n mre by direct vote was heartily
applauded as was the plank of water-
vas and that of the Independence of the
Philippines.
The reading of the platform was con-
i luded at 2:06 a. m. Governor Haskell
having read for a few minutes less than
one hour
"Mr. chairman. T move the adoption
of the report." said Governor Haskell
turning to the chairman.
"The question is on agreeing to the re-
port or the committee on platform. All
in favor of the platform as read will sig-
nify by saying aye." announced Chairman
Clayton.
THE VOTE IS ANNOUNCED.
The chorus of affirmative votes waa
unanimous and the adoption of the plat-
form was loudly cheered.
John E. Lamb of Indiana reported" from
the committee on resolutions a recom-
mendation that the 100th anniversary of
the birth of Abraham Lincoln be appro-
priately observed throughout the country.
After the ayes had chorused their ap-
proval Chairman Clayton said thnt as a
son of a Confederate soldier and slave-
holder he declined to put the negative
and declared the vote unanimous.
1. L. Strauss of Maryland asked If
the vote on the Lincoln resolution was
unanimous and being Informed that such
was the cane he declared that he desired
to have a reconsideration of the vote.
A storm of hoots and cries of "No. no."
was directed at Strauss and Mr. Lamb
moved that the motion of Mr. Btrauss be
laid on the table.
The motion was carried unanimously
Mr. Strauss. In private conversation
declared that his idea In asking the re-
consideration was to amend the motion
by adding to it the name of General
Kobeu E Lee. Ho left hla seat and
going to the stand explained his motion
to the chairman.
When the. call of the roll of States for
presidential nominations was resumed
Florida yielded to Augustus Thomas of
Missouri who made a seconding speech
In behalf of Mr. Mryan
In a campaign that promises to agitate
forces deeper than those which move the
mere machinery of polities a campaign
that Is to appeal more to the moral sen-
timents of men than to their plans of
expediency. It Is proper that Missouri
should spo ik for William Jennings Hryan.
It was Missouri that first put her own
house in order following his answer to
the question "What is the matter with
the country?" Missouri that first agreed
with this great commoner that the in-
dustrial life of tho people Is being lived
upon a double standard of morale one
standard of morals for the Individual
another nnd loss exacting standard of
morals for the corpora t Ion.
It is a regrettable fact that men will
commit offenses when acting for a cor-
poration that thev would decline to com-
mit for lndlvlduaU-th.it rnm who would
not share In the dishonest grain of a
partner will accept the tainted dividends
of a directory that men who would not
britws a public official for themselves will
for a company corrupt a legislature.
Publlo disapproval exposure by the
press conviction by the courts -havo
leas terror when shared by all the mem-
bers of a company that when Imme by
an individual. This lower standard or
morality this duller sensibility makes
the Htate-made corporation a danger to
tho nation.
