BOSTON. July 24. Nearly 4000 demo
crats gathered at Nantasket today and
participated In the "harmony" meeting
arranged by the New England Demo
cratic League, the new political organi
zation which is expected to develop Its
strength in the Fall campaign. Mayor
P. A. Collins, of this city, acted as "mod
erator," as he expressed It, and presented
in order Edward M. Shepard, of New
York; Senator Edward W. Carmack. of
Tennessee, and "William J. Bryan, of Ne
braskaT who expounded and discussed the
Issues of this campaign to the marked
satisfaction of the audience.
Colonel "W. A. Gaston and Charles S.
Hamlin, rival candidates for the Demo
cratic Gubernatorial nomination in Mas
sachusetts, were present, while Lewis
Lyon, of New York. Congressman Wilson,
of that state, and John R. Thayer, of
Massachusetts, were conspicuous among
the guests. .,
The wjeather of the morning was cloudy
and threatening, but at noon the sun ap
peared and the afternoon boats to the
beach were crowded. Henry P. Hollis,
secretary of the league, who was the act
ive spirit In arranging the meeting, mar
shalled his forces at the boat leaving for
Nantasket shortly after U o'clock, the
party including all the organization's
guests. It took an hour to "make the
run down the harbor, and on arrival the
party was escorted to the Rockland
House, where a meeting of the league
was held. A reception by Mr. Bryan,
Mr. Shopard and Mr. Carmack followed,
and then 300 members of the league sat
down to a banquet in the great dining
room of the hoteL Among those at the
dinner was Miss Ruth Bryan, who is ac
companying her father on this trip.
At the conclusion of the dinner the
crowd repaired to the largo tent on the
lawn In front of the hotel. In a few
minutes every scat was taken, and the
canvas at the sides was remoyed In order
to enable the thousands, who were unable
to get seats to hear ihe speaking. The
speakers appearante on the platform was
the signal for loud and continued ap
plause. Edward 31. Shcpnrd'u Speech.
Mayor Collins promptly introduced Ed
ward M. Shepard, of New York, who
spoke as follows:
"It Is good for us to affirm the larger,
underlying creed upon which we agree,
whatever may bo our- differences In its
application. It Is good for us, it is use
ful to the country to affirm our agree
ment upon those questions of National
policy which in this present year, 1902,
are ripe for practical and present de
cision by the American people at the
Congressional elections. Nor do we need
in doing this to deny or defend, or per
haps even regret, differences of past opin
ion, whether among leaders of our party
or among us of the rank and file. For
Democrats equally sincere, patriotic and
intelligent have, since the American party
began, differed, and differed widely, -upon
practical and .present applications of a
party creed to which all were devoted.
Nor will such differences end while par
ty life continues sound and useful."
After alluding to issues on which the
Democratic party had differed and be
come reconciled In past years, Mr. Shep
ard continued:
"Now the later differences over the
extent to which silver may be coined at
the mints, or over the treaty with Spain,
or with military operations in th'e Philip
pines, must not and shall not prevent a
genuine and triumphant co-operation of
the Democrats upon the questions prac
tically jiressing for popular determina
tion at the polls. May we not renew
the wlso and righteous conciliations prac
ticed by Democrats of other generations?
The resolute Independence of political
thought illustrated by our past differ
ences is "part of the glory of Democratic
doctrine, and an essential condition of
sound political life. The most useful
American citizen Is not an integral and
an inseparable part of any political par
ty. His party is only his means to tho
political end dictated by his conscience.
That is and always was Democratic doc
trine. "Two years ago the costly prosecution
of our war of conquest in the Philip
pines made a present and practical ques
tionthe use we shall make of the
American sovereignty which our military
power has established In those tropical
islands of the East. And that question
even a Republican President in fact con
cedes to bo an open one. If. upon tho
question which is now practically open
before the American people, which is
treated as open by the Republican Presi
dent, and In large part by the Republican
party, tho Democratic party should re
sort to a timid silence, it would. I believe,
invite contempt even from those who,
for what they deem to be a greater pros
pect of success. wdu!C hae the party
stifle Its deep and long-time convictions.
"Wo cannot, however. In my opinion,
truthfully say the manner In which we
shall discharge our duty on the borders
of Asia is today our dominant issue. The
attontion of the American people Is in
truth fixed upon a domestic and eco
nomic question that is, whether or not
there shall be continued to a number of
great and enormously rjch Interests the
special privileges which tho Republican
tariff confers upon them.
"We have the best of evidence that the
measure of Justice to Cuba, which even
the Republican President could not deny
our obligation to grant, was defeated,
not by any recalcitrant minority of the
Republican party, but by the opinion of
the Republican leaders, when faced by
the Cuban bill which Democratic votes
sent to the Senate from the House, that
if justice to Cuba were done, tho tarlft
question would be opened wide. It would,'
they feared, precipitate the question of
Justice to the great masses of the people
of our own country by depriving of
special tariff privileges the vast money
getting combinations by which the Re
publican party is so largely supported.
They clearly see that the tariff cannot
be meddled with in one schedule with
out inviting popular attention to the
iniquities of other schedules.
"The American people are today 'thor
oughly ready to deprive the gr.eat monop
olistic interests of the country of the
I special tarlft privileges which they en
Joy. If the Democratic party. In selecting
its issue, defer, as it is bound to. to
the popular will, it has no choloe. The
issue of tariff reform is Irrevocably at
the forefront."
Senator Carmack'i Remarks.
Senator Carmack, who followed, opened
his speech with a tribute to the De
mocracy of New England, who, he said,
"through all these years have dauntlessly
faced the brutal Republican majorities
that exist and persist In this section of
the country, and who, like one of old,
have always risen with renewed strength
and courage from regular biennial con
tact with the earth.
"Let It be tld In all truth and sober
ness," he continued, "that New England
Republicanism had at least an honorable
origin Its early history was Inspired" by
lofty ideals and crowned with noble
achievements, and while we are here to-
day in the name and on the behalf of the 7
Democracy, we appeal to you by those
great principles which were nearest to
the .hea'rt of! Abraham Lincoln and of all
the founders of the Republican party."
After dwelling at considerable "length
upon the alleged departure of the 'Repub
lican party of today from the landmarks
set by its founders. Senator Carmack
asserted that the concentration of wealth
and power In the hands of a few men
threatened the succession of the republic
by "a despotism of force and corruption,
operating for a time within the hollow
form of a republic until at last even the
form shall perish with the reality of
freedom.
Adverting to what he termed President
Rooeevelt's "crusade against monopoly
and plutocracy," Senator Carmack pre
dicted that "when that distinguished
statesman comes to understand as he
doubtless will that the Republican party
has enthroned the trusts and made plu
tocracy supreme in the United States,
he will prove a powerful and effective
ally for the Democratic party.
"The President," continued Senator
Carmack, "is now engaged in a tcrritlc
lingual assault upon the trusts. He de
mands that there shall be more and
stronger laws to curb their power. I have
always understood It to be the yduty of
the President to advise Congress by mes
sage of such legislation as he thinks will
promote the general welfare. But he
waits until Congress has adjourned and
then tells the people of the laws he In
tends to have enacted by some other
Congress at some other time.
"If," the speaker said further, "you
wish to deal effectively with monopoly,
if you want to suppress the trusts, you
must put a party in power that means
to do it. We know that the Republican
party will not even try."
The speaker censured the military ad
ministration in the Philippines for cruel
ties Inflicted upon noncombatants and for
the employment of Macabcbes.
In conclusion. Senator Carmack said:
"Let me warn you who sneer at the
doctrines and sentiments we have been
taught to revere that the time will come
In some hour of madness- and passion,
when you will appeal to the stirrer of
the etorm in the name of the old princi
ples and the ancient faiths and he will
answer you out of the whirlwind and
with your own sneer. He will say you
have taught him to despise all the faiths
and traditions of the past and to trust
only in the opinions, the sentiments and
the passions of the hour.
"Once unchain the spirit of revolution,
do not suppese that you can circumscribe
or direct its work of destruction; do not
suppose that It will spare for your sake
some nook or corner of the constitution,
where you may ilnd shelter and protec
tion. Say not to yourselves, 'when tho
overwhelming scourge shall pasa through
It will not come nigh unto us.'
"If we would perpetuate this republic
we must perpetuate those high purposes
that give it life and are the very breath
of Its nostrils. If we would resist the
forces of disorder we must preserve in
tact and unbroken the walls which our
fathers reared and stand by the citadel
of the constitution as by the ark of the
covenant of the living God."
Bryan's Speech.
The presentation of Mr. Bryan caused
great enthusiasm. Cheers greeted him
as he stepped to the front of the plat
form, and he was several times Inter
rupted by demonstrations of approval.
He said:
"I always come to New England with
pleasure, because I repegnlze, as Sena
tor Carmack has said he does, how much
fidelity it requires to plead for Democ
racy in New England. Here in New Eng
land a man may bo a Democrat with
great credit. I have come here several
times, and I confess that my missionary
work has n6t been crowned with the suc
cess I thought that it deserved. But we
have to go on preaching righteousness,
assured of the fact that evil will at last
overtake those who refuse to listen or
follow the truth.
"I am glad It is my privilege to come
here to Join with you in the beginning
of the campaign of 1902. I am glad to
see a representative of the State of New
York, a representative of the Domocracy
of that state. When he tells you
what he believes to be the dan
gers of the country, I am glad, as I
am sure you are, to listen to the man who
gives honest expression to an honest fear
of danger. When he gives advice I am
willing to listen, for I know that la 1SW
he was -willing to throw "aside the objec
tions he had to some parts of the Demo
cratic platform. He has shown his will
ingness to overlook those things which
he thought Important In order to secure
victory for those policies which ho con
sidered paramount. However much I may
differ from him regarding the relative
Importance of questions, regarding the
precedence of issues, I am willing to lis
ten to the opinion of any Democrat who
proves by his vote that he is a Democrat.
"I am glad your committeo called from
the South a representative of Southern
Democracy, and I have been as delighted
as you have been to listen to his unan
swerable argument on what I believe-to
be the greatest Issue this Nation has
ever had to meet in its history. I believe
we are fortunate in that we have men
scattered all over this Nation as com
petent as these gentlemen to dofend these
issues which they have presented.
"I thought I may be of some service
here In aiding those who desire harmony
In the Democratic party. T think there
is no Democrat between the oceans who
desires harmony more than I, for no one
has suffered more than I from lack of it
"In view of numerous harmony dinners
and the discord they have created. It may
not be out of place to consider the basis
of harmony. The word 'harmony is
euphonious and the Idea which it conveys
Is a delightful one. Harmony is but a
synonym for order and is not the result
of chance, but a product of Inexorable
law.
"The great founder of the Democratic
party, whose profound philosophy sound
ed all the depths of human nature and
measured the height and breadth of hu
man government, not long before the end
of his eventful life said in a letter to
Mr. Lee; that there were but two per
manent parties, the aristocratic and the
democratic; that those two parties existed
In every country and that where there
was freedom to think, tpeak and write,
these parties would become apparent.
With the aristocratic party he classed
'those who fear "and distrust the people
and wish to draw all power from them
Into the hands of the higher classes.'
With the democratic party he classed
'those who Identify themselves with the
people, have conlldence In them, cherish
and consider them as the most honest
and safe, though not the most yise, de
pository of the public Interests.
"Every well-Informed student of history
will recognize this distinction. In every
community you can draw a line separat
ing the arlctocrat from the democrat. It
will not be a perpendicular line, nor will
It be a horizontal one; It will not sep
arate those of Illustrious lineage from
those Gf humble birth; it will not separ
ate the rich from the poor; It will not
separate the educated, from the unedu
cated. It will not be along the linos of
vocation or occupation: but It will sep
arate those 'with the tastes, spirit, as
sumption and traditions of the artotocracy
from those who 'believe in a government
controlled bj- the people and favor po
litical and legal equality.'
"There can alwayo be harmony among
Democrats who have the purpose that
Jefferson had and arc willing to employ
the methods that Jefferson employed.
There can always be harmony among
Democrats who believe In a government
for the people and are willing that all
the departments of the Government shall
be operated by the people and for the
benefit of the people. Differences of the
mind can be reconciled; differences of pur
pose cannot. "Between one who Is at heart
an aristocrat and one who Is In reality
a democrat there is a creat gulf fixed,
"You cannot find two men who think
earnestly who agree on every point. It
Is natural that there should be dlffer-
J encc. A great majority of the Repub
licans of today are Democrats At heart.
They believe with Lincoln, In 'govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people I believe the only trou
ble is that they hay not noticed the
condition that has taken place in the
purpose and character and "niethods of
the Republican organization. The way
to make additions to our patty is to
show people what the Republican party
stands for today. The way to make our
party strong Is 'to expose the hypocrisy
of the Republican party. There can be
only one aristocratic party in the coun
try. There will be room enough for all
the aristocrats in that when the people
know what tho party stands for.
"The Republican party of today is.
aristocratic in 'its policies and tendencies,
for it Is controlled by a few in the In
terest of a few, but there are many Re
publicans who remain with their party
only because they do not understand the
change which has taken place In that
party within the last few years. There
can be no doubt of the democratic In
stincts of a large majority of the mem
bers of the Republican party, but that
party today Is eo controlled by organized
wealth that the rank and file of the party
are not consulted about the policies nor
are the Interests of the rank and file
considered by the leaders. With the ex
ception of the tariff question, the Repub
lican party has not In recent years hon
estly submitted a single Important Issue
to the arbitrament of the ballot; or even
to the Judgment of the members of its
own party. It has written ambiguous

knocked out Rufo Turner (colored), of

To an Impartial observer. It looked as If Gans could havo dellveredthe knock

count twice In the fourth, once In the eighth, twice In th tenth, four times In

But there was no fighting done. In fact Gans came out of the fight without a
scratch of any eort Turner, however, took a good beating:"
platforms and forced its policies through J
Congress after elections.
"As there are many in the Republican
party who have adhered to the party
notwithstanding the change that the or
ganization has undergone, so there are
some who call themselves Democrats who
have themselves undergone a change
which has alienated them from the Demo
cratic party or from any party worthy
of the name.
Patching; Up Harmony.
"To attempt to patch up an apparent
harmony between those, who are not In
sympathy with Democratic purposes is not
only a waste of time, but would prove
disastrous. The men who deserted tho
party in 1S95 may be divided Into two
classes, those who left because they un
derstood the issue presented and those
who left because they did not understand
the real nature of the contest Until the
former, are completely changed in their
sympathies they cannot return to the
party without Injuring It
"The latter will be reconciled to the
party when they themselves become
aware of the real character of the life
and death struggle now being waged be
tween plutocracy and democracy. I say
plutocracy, because the aristocracy of to
day Is one of wealth rather than of birth
and it Includes not only those who have
been alienated from the common people
by tho possession of great wealth, but
those who although without wealth pan
der to it and measure all things by a
money standard. Organized wealth has
become so potent In governmental affalrj
that some even now despair of applying
any effective remedy. But such under
estimate the patriotism of the people'and
the strength of the public conscience. The
people have a remedy within their power,
namely, the ballot, and with It they can
and will right every wrong and remedy
every grievance.
"I believe the rcatxinajorlty of those
who left the Democratic party In 196 and
In 1903 were at heart as honest as any
who remained. They believed the elec
tion of the Democratic ticket would in
jure the country. Although I went down
to defeat because of this. I have never
uttered a single breath against any man
who honestly ileft the party because of
Interest In his country. I believe there
are men who conscientiously support
monarchy. But I say that men with
that kind of a conscience ought to be
kept from the people who want free
government. I do not call them bad
men. but I call their doctrines damnable
politically. Therefore, we have a right
to draw a line against conscientious men
of such doctrines. Thero are men who
conscientiously believe that society Is
built from the top, and that If the rich
succeeded their prosperity will leak
through the bottom.
"While it is true that a great propor
tion of Republicans are Democrats at
heart, it is also true that we have some
Democrats who are at heart aristocrats
and who have no sympathy with the
struggling masses. But they are few In
number. I hope we can convert some of
them, but I have not much hope for
those wfae purpose Is wrong. I hope
to bring back every one of those who did
not understand the struggle, and, I hope
we can bring In multitudes of Republi
cans who can see that our party stands
for the doctrine of human rights and free
government
"Worlc for Democrats.
"I believe the work those should do
who want harmony is to stand firm by
what they believe and teach the people
that we are right I believe that If you
want harmony you can get it by show
ing the people the dangers that menace
them. Show them that It Is Republican
policy to consider the dollar more Im
portant than the man. Show them that
the tariff system is building up Indus
tries that sell abroad low and at home
nigh, then use the moneys they save In
this way unlawfully to buy elections.
Show them that this Is but pari of the
doctrines with which man has noxignt
but the dollar has every right. Point out
the dangers these policies bring.
"Each man decides Inies for himself.
In 1900 we declared the question of im
perialism paramount, and I believe It
was the most Important of the nour. Yet
men voted the Republican ticket rather
than see., the money system partly at
tacked by the success of a man who be
lieved it to be bad.
"They cay the trust question Is Import
ant. "I agree with them In this, but I do
not believe you can settle It by putting
everything on the free list that the
trusts make. You prevent extortion by
this, but It will not kill the trusts. 1
believe the United States has the right
to say through Congress that a corpora
tion engaged In any 'state can stay In
that state, but shall not go outside with
out showing that it Is doing lawful busi
ness, and not acting as a highwayman.
"I believe our party must go out and
show the people what Is wrong In the
tariff question. In the money question, in
the trust question. Then we must also
Insist that while the war in the Philip
pines has placed us In possession of the
Islands, that possession continues wrong
ly while it continues without the consent
of the governed. We Should do In the
Philippines as we have at, last done In
Cuba. There Is a great opportunity for
the Democratic party to do Democratic
work for a Democratic purpose. I am
glad tho New England Democratic
League has commenced the work.
"The Democratic party must have a con-

trolling purpose, unchanged by victory or
defeat; it must stand for that purpose at
all times and everywhere, unmoved by
threats of disaster and uninfluenced by
promise of temporary gain. It must havo
a character, for character Is as essential
In a party as It lsin an Individual. No
one will trust an unstable man or one
who Is so wlthput principle that his posi
tion upon any moral question cannot be
guessed In advance. Neither will the peo
ple trust a party that Is willing to write
Into Its platform today anything that
promises to catch a few votes or strike
out of its platform tomorrow anything
that will alienate a few votc3. Even if
It desired to do bo, our party could not
compete with the Republican party In the
use of money In campaigns or in tho
deception or coercion of voters, because
large campaign funds can only be se
cured In return for tho promise of favor
itism and our people arc not in a position
to coerce. Our party must have principles
and proclaim them; it must stand by them
and defend them, relying upon its faith
in the righteousness of those prlnciDles
and upon Its faith In the Intelligence and
patriotism of the people.
"Wo cannot tell what Issues we may
have to meet; we can only determine to
meet them In a Democratic spirit, to np
ply to them Democratic principles and
to take the people's side always. In 1SD2
the paramount Issue was tariff reform,
and the Democratic party boldly asserted
its demand for a tariff for revenue only.
It fought the campaign and It won, but
its majority was so narrow that a few
Senators, disloyal to the party on this
subject defeated tho verdict of the people
rendered at the polls. But the failure of
the party to do all that it promised would
not have been so disastrous but for the
fact that the Wilson bill, unsatisfactory
as it was to tariff reformers, had to bear
the sins of a Republicans-financial system
which was supported by our administra
tion against the protest of an overwhelm
ing majority of the voters of the party.
Past Defects.
"The defeat of 1S94 was more disastrous
than any the party has experienced since,
and It vTas due to the fact that the Ad
mlnstratlon deserted the people on the
money question. In 1E9S the money ques
tion had forged to the front made para
mount not by the action of tho majority
of tho Democratic party, but by the at
tempt of a minority of the party to aid
the Republican party to chain the country
to an appreciating dollar. Without aban
doning Its position on the tariff question
the party met this issue and took the side
of the people. In spite of the desertion
of many formerly conspicuous In Its
councils the Democratic party polled a
million more votes than It had ever polled
before, and would have won but for
the indefensible methods of the Republi
can party, whose leaders held all the
protectionist Republicans by declaring the
tariff issue to be paramount mollified the
wrath of most of the free-silver Republi
cans by promising international bimetal
Ism and -won all the advocates of the golf
standard by revealing to them the secret
purpose of the party to adopt a. European
financial system. But even then we would
have won" but for the fact that borrowers
were coerced and employes Intimidated.
"In 1900 tho action of the Republican
,party in turnlnga war, commenced for
humanity, into a war of conquest, com
pelled the consideration of another ques
tion a question so far-reaching In Its con
sequences that our party rightfully de
clared it to be the paramount Issue. With
out abandoning Its position on the tariff
question or on the mdney question. It
again espoused the people's side of a great
issue. That it did not win that year was
due to a conjunction of causes, any one
of which would nave been Insufficient to
have accomplished defeat. The Adminis
tration, having carried on a brief and suc
cessful war. fell heir to the enthusiasm
which, usually attends a. victorious conflict,
an unexpected increase In the enipply of
new gold and an unexpected influx of
European gold( dire to large crops here
and a famine abroad, increasedprlces. re
lieved the stress of hard tlmeo and gave
to the people the benefits that always flow
from a growing volume of money. While
'the advantages which followed a larger
volume of money Indicated the principle I
contended for bj olmctaiists, tney were
appropriated by the party In power and
those who were Influenced by condi
tions without attempting to realize the
cautxis gave the Republican party cred
it for an increasing prosperity.
"The protected manufacturers, of course,
stood by the Administration, which had
given them a Dlngley lav:. Trust pro
moters and trust magnates, recognizing
In the Democratic party an inveterate foe
and numbering among their stockholders
many oft tho most Influential Republicans,
threw all their -strength to the Republican
party, and by their support purchased Im
munity from punishment The Republi
cans were greatly aided by another Influ
ence, namely, the Influence of the finan
ciers, who not yet having completed
their schemes, were willing to risk trusts.
Imperialism or anything else rather than
forego the advantage which they expected
from a gold standard and a bank cur
rency. In spite of all these obstacles the
campaign of 1900 only showed a net change
of 1S0.OCO votes in favor of the Republicans
out of a total vote of over 13,000,000.
"And what Is the situation today? Since
tho election of 1900, imperialism Is more
openly avowed and Imperialistic methods
more boldly entered upon because the Ad
rnlnrtratlon can point to that election us
an apparent indorsement, although the
party leaders at that time vehemently de
nied Imperialistic Intent. Those who ex
pect to make a profit out of a colonial
system favor It on the ground that it will
pay; those who think it opened up the
Philippines to proselytizing Insist that It
Is providential, while those who are sim
ply seeking some reason for supporting
their party's policy fall back upon the
doctrine that circumstances got us Into
trouble and that tie must stay In until
circumstances get us out Since the elec
tion of 1900 trusts have grown and flour
ished under the Republican Administra
tion as might have been expected. Al
most two years have elapsed since the
last Presidential election, and no legisla
tive attempt has been made tonterfere
with them and the executive efforts, in
stead of being directed toward the en
forcmenT of criminal statutes, are con
fined to tho equity side of the court and
these efforts have not In the least re
tarded the formation of new combines.
"How can the opponents of aristocracy
and plutocracy be united for a successful
attack upon, entrenched privilege? Not
by making peace with the enemy; not by
Imitating their works, their methods or
their phraseology; but byvhonest straight
forward appeal to the American people
upon a platform that canbe understood
and with an organization that can be
trusted." '
Mr. Bryan left tonight for Maine, ac
companied by Senator Carmack and
Charier S. Hamlin. Tomorrow night they
will appear at Rockland. Early In the
afternoon addresses will be made In Au

Pall Mall Gazette.
Readers of the Pall Mall Gazette have
already been Informed through this col
umn of the revival of that charming and
Old World custom of kissing hands. Posi
tively a league has now been started to
give form and substance to the revival.
The fair members of the league--for. as
Is only fit and proper, it Is exclusively a
woman's league have decreed that their
masculine subjects, admitted to the
charmed circle of their salons, shall there
by bind themselves to render this delicate
and graceful homage. There Is a world
of significance In hand-klsslng. One al
most wants a guide to It For Instance,
when the admirer delicately salutes the
finger tips of the lady fair he Is merely
on the footing of an acquaintance. Should
he kiss the palm, that would signify a
certain degree of Intimacy, and the wrist
even more so. The hand is thus the ba
rometer of the affections. The custom is
certainly more picturesque than the hand
shake, which is an abomination save as a
sign of masculine regard. But It requires
a degree of grace not attainable by all
men even Frenchmen.
