the universal approval OF the masses OF our
population. To insure success IL Is only
necessary that the people shoaldt thoroughly
understand the objects proposed to be At
tanned by the Democratic organizations, IN
contradiction TO those aimed at by our OPP
ponents. The best campaign document
The Democracy can distribute is this deciara'
vatisx of their principles, and we nope
measures will be taken by the Central Sad
county committees 70 give 1t a generl c'reu'

admirable and happy enumeration OF the
Democratic faith, every article oil Wnich
commands the appreciation OF our Juds-
ment.
