cagnizc in The National standard bearers of
the great Peoples Party, Horacs Greeley
and Benz. GratZ Brown, men of sterling
worth, capable of restoring the Government

years, when Washington Adams and jet
ferson were guardians of orr liberties. We
therefore pledge them our undivided and
earnest support.
, We recognize the political and civil
rights of all men, and pledge ourselves to
maintain them, and we invite all men, with
out regard TO past political differences, to
unite with us in our honest effort 10 accom-
