corrupt aud selfish pol 'icians. more especially when

vernment, through the aid Of an irresponsible money
power, upon a foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purify of the principles upon which the Republic
originally established.
In regard u the candidate Tor the next Presidency
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per
sonal preference, especially when many good and
sterling Democrats ned in connection with that
office. The edor, however, believes that the sober
second thought OF The People is wrong, but al
