tho closest scrutiny. The old issues are obsolete

lor nartv proposes no change IN the Democratic
Nolicy but change q men, and the Democratic
party have no new measures to propose. They
stand now where they stood in 936, while the
rvolving wears have swept by them and left them
behind, obIivlonS of Principle in the strife for
Power, and animated only BY the hope of the
Spos AMI The promise Of success.

ciplos and Fraa VI n contonding aarne 'ty for the
