At the tfelTersou elul) in Buffalo,

David B. llill delivered a Tinging
speech in behalf of the Democracy.
The theme of Mr. Hill's
speech was "Thomas Jefferson,"
and he said in conclusion:
"And now a word to party friends
as to ttie future. We must not is*

"We have a right to lie proud of
our ancient political lineage. Our
party is the great conservative
force in the country today and absolutely
necessary to its welfare.
It. stands against radicalism of
every description. It is opposed
to plutocracy oil the one hand and
to communism on the other. It is
opposed to imperialism in the
Philipp lie islands and to anarchy
in Ci|lm. ft antagonizes monopoly
on one side and socialism on
the other. It respects the vested
rights of capital and at the sonc
time sympathizes with labor op

powei ful corpora14' interests; licit Iter
is it in league with demagogues
, who disturb society and agitate
for the mere sake of limitation. It
does not regard the possession of
wealth as a erline nor even a Imdge
of honor, nor does it consider poverty
as either n disgrace or a virtue.
It makes no war upon classes, I mi t
opposes corrupt and vicious sys
tenia and methods wherever they
are to lie found. It has no use for
the passing 'isnn' of the hour,
ft proposes as its general policy to
adhere to the fundamental principles
upon which the party was
founded by the great Jefferson
himself. In that path there is
safety, honor, success."

The girl complained of considerable

who found a number of needles
