We thonld al reecilect the lesson Of shs
Charleston eonssnslon. The mistake u 10
muzt not be repeated In 'es. The pesce and
prosperity o. the country depend upon he sue

upon which be d 10 be run. The plst)ofm
which hall be adopted viii remain as our dec
laratlon Of principles for the next four years.
Recohstrueiion, the finances, our farsign rela-
sioDs, internal Improvements, and sazasiens-a
shese and other subjects shonld not DO forgot
ten. hat NO plank should bs inclnded upon
which 81 cannot agree. We have points Of
differences enough with our eseuisss let W
have none with our fiicnds. With platform
clearly declaring tie enduring rriasiples ofillc
party, and . representative candidate, We need
have no fear Of he result.
WE have not sAid these thisgs because We
have candidate, but because We have none,
There are many men In the party, any ono 81
whom We shoald Ike 70 soe II tho white House.
Weafo delemiaed 10 do all that we can 10 put
one Of them there, and We kbes thai iShe Dem
