"We also feel assured that If Mr. Bryan will rise to that supreme hlglit of statesmanship, which the hour de mands, and give his consent for the above ticket to be named by the Na tional Convention, it will mark him as not only the grandest statesman of the age, but it will cause his name to go down in history as one of the servants. “We think that the best interests of the country uomand that the sug gestions we make should receive grave consideration at the hnnds of Mr. Bryan, and as well the national convention when It assembles. "A moment’s reflection Is enough to convinco the American people that this ticket would prove invincible. "Be it further resolved, that the na tional convention be requested to nominate the above ticket and de clare that the great fight In the com ing campaign be made, first, for ri- vision of the tariff; second, for the restoration of constitutlola govern ment, and third, ir tne economical ad ministration of the government In place of the riotous extravagance now being practiced.” The Convention Token to 8ea.
