hesitate to expose all abuses of trust and power whe-
Their committed by the Chief Executive of the nation,
or any other servant Of the People

corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment through the aid Of irresponsible money
power, upon foundation Of Clay, without regard to
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard to the candidate Tor the next Presidency il
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per

sterling Democrats ned IN connection with that
Office. The editor, however, believes that the sober
second thought OF the People wrong, but al

fairness and candor the prete of all cand

trines Of the Fathers Of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
