nlbs-s IA VII, the fs-;hosi from my
ihoueAis bal ioG ala Thai, to-day the
Sscez es,y, sitting reesily on the hills by
,ae hosaiifal river, holds a proudcr place
in MY menery Than any Of her fair
SISTERS cf the west, because there has been
inaugurs,ed another Of those great moves
from the hearts of the people, for purity
and integrity in political life, so persist
emily kept down by the selfish ambition
of political aspirants.
The candidate of our choice is emneniiy
a representative Of those principles, stIli
cherished in the hearts of the people, be-
cause intuitively they feel that nations, like
individuals, must rise or fall by the culti-
walton or rejection of moral honesty and
practical justice.
Political dishonesty for personal motives,
has SO long been the order of the day in
political life, that the pent-up Indignation
of the people now finds vent in one great
shout of welcome from the pine-clad
hills Of Maine to the golden shore of Cal.
ifornia, because Of the promise now her
aided of the infusion Of newer and purer
life into the political atmosphere of the
nation. All parties can meet here on one
common ground, and no surer indication
is needed Of tho honest motive of our
Democratic friends than the enthusiasm
with which so many of them have already
accepted this nomination. Through long
life opponent ct many Of their views, and
with the scars of many hard.fought bat
ties yet fresh they see ut once the moral
force of an honest man in political life,
and feel that they can safely trust their
interests in his keeping. Surely the mag.
nanimity of some Of the great lights OF
this party 10 only equaled by the unselfi'h
and magnanimous conduct of the new
standard-bearer they have SO nobly well
coined.
Arc we not already in the dawn Of an
other Of those great revolutions which
raise nations in the scale of humanity AND
leave untold blessings to the coming ages
Those conspicuous points in the course o
time we have no difficulty in seeing wher
they have past and stand on the undyinl
record before us, but while they are bcirl
enacted we are often deaf and ina,tentiv
to their great import. That there is some
thing moro in this than tho superficial Oh
server detects on the surface is indicated
by the deep feeling with Which it affect
all parties. Honesty and integrity ar
brought up in bold relief in a representa-
tive man as something to be loved and re
spected. Down.trodden and discarded il
the political arena--it arises again an,
again At the demand of the people, a
often to be laid aside by selfish and design
ing ambition. But for all this, l am no
one who believes that the undertow j
equal to the wave. If it were so, tn
ocean of life might be still if nothing i
gained by agitation. The very intuition
of mankind discarded this falacy; an,
We hope much now and believe tho grea
heart of the people will right what thei
over-running generosity stumbled owe
four years ago. Let them laugh VIII
loose; those who win will always laugh.
