The act Of the Illinois democrats 10
striking hands With the New York demo-
Gratis On the Utica platform Of free trade,
hard MONEY and home rule, which ever
since, last tall has determined the crystall- |
ization Of pattiss, u probably the most i'm |
portant event in our politics since the
murder of President Lincoln gave over
the southern statos to . costlier revolution
than the war Vi accession, took the control
of the republican party from its statesmen
and founders, and staked it's future hopes
upon coalition Of northern radicals and
jobbsrs.wth southorn nsgroes, carpet Bag
gers and thieves.
For, this union of the dem crAcy Of the
empire states of the east and west upon
common platform, which, while Il holds
the allegiance, maintains the principles
and inspires the enthusiasm Of every I'M
| qualified idemocrAt, also satisfies those,
who during the war period left our ranks,
that tho results Of the war are no longer

the timidity Of Governor Hendricks and
the Indians demoorsts, the temporiz,ng Of
Senator Thurman and the Ohio democr ats

| democracy of democrats Like the Utica
platform of the New York democrats, the
Springfield platform Of the Illinois demo.
Gratis pronounces . democracy bold, and
incisivc, pure and simple. Like that, IL
establishes the. Organization Of the demo-
| cratic party not BY scattering and dis
| banding its elements, but BY excluding
foreign enemies. attracting homogeneous
ones and crystalnzing them into . purer
form with . cutting edge. Like that, IL
| declares tho whole democratic doctrine OF
tree trade, hard money, homo rule. Like
| that with Incorporating sincerity IL
sets forth the vital affirmative principles
with which il will meet the living issues
of state and federal politics, and asks no
fsvors and no votes Of those who do not
give TO these principles their firm md
