or any other servant Of the People
Ii will fully reveal the workings and iDtrgues of
corrupt and selfish pol cians, especially when
they found eDdeavoring 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 Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per
sona preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats named in connection with that
Office The editor, however believes that the sober
second thought OF the People is wrong, but al
ways Efficient, and he is willing to abide the fulfil
msnt Of the sentiment in due time, and act in accord
ance Herewith

ganisation, but will hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the pretensOns Of all cand 1ales
for Office prior to the regular nominations by ma
joIy Of the People, through their delegates or other

In short, the editor will labor zeaousIy TO advance
the moral and political happiness OF the whole People,
ando carry out, as far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers Of Democracy, as summed UP
in the simple phrase, Equal and exac. justice to all
men,"
