the two parties into which our people are dyi lea
they will act. they wish for lion, th5y will

Wise statesmen can now bring tnis var u
q close upon the terms soemnly set forth ny the
Government at the outset Of the contest. In tho
political contest 10 winch We are engaged We do
not seek paTtiZin advantages.
We are battling for the righ:s ofthO'e Who be-
long to o political organizations. We meaa by
these rights, that free speech shall not be in-
peachS d, although that righ. may be used 10 DO.
nounce us.
We intend that the sights Oi conscIence shall
b. pT tected, although mistaken views Of dlty
may IUTn tho temples Of re gOn into the ltres
for partEsn denunciatOns. W5 mean home
rights the sacredneSs OF The fr3side shall Be
respected by those in authority, no matter What
political Views may be held by those who sii be-
meath their rOOi.lrees.
When the Dtmocp;c party shal have gained
power We shall not be less, but more tenacious
upon these subjects. We haze f,rborne mue1,
because those who are uOE charged wi Ia the
conduct of public affirs knew bus little about the
principles of our Government.
We were unwlllingtD prg5eGy Al appearance OF
