LET ALL ASSIST IN TURNING
THE WHEEL OF REFORM.

Now that the delegated voice of the
National Democracy has formally ex =
pressed its solemn judgment that Til
den and Hendricks are the men to rep
resent the party in the present Presi-
dental campaign against the domino
ting and corrupt Hayes and Wheeler
Republicanism, it is the supreme duty,
and should be the first pleasure of every
Democrat and conservative citizen IN
the land, to give the St Louis nominees
an earnest and determined support.
In supporting this ticket. the people
are not called on to inaugurate the per-
Bonalism of TiIden rule per Sc, but
through his elevation to the Chic f Mag
istracy to supplant the revolutionists
that have debsuched the Federal Gov.
eminent, and in their stead to choose
men to take the helm of State whose
purity and patriotism are a guarantee
of wise and wholesome rule. Under
the guardianship of Tiden and Hen
bricks, our governmental policy will de-
velop into pursness and strength.
The trail of official treason will never
be found cloabed beneath their official
smile.
They will never white wash depart
mental Villany and be induced to con-
ceal for policy sake the base doings of
fraudulent officials. The same stern
hand that whipped with scorpion lash
the Tweeds and Lords that we'll
nigh bankrupted the metropolis of the
Empire State may be relied on to drive
out of the Capitol the wretches that
have honey-conbed every Office in the
gift of the Government.
Civil Reform and Retrenchment are
what the nation chiefly needs at this
particular moment: The public mind
has long been in condition of unrest.
D1sintegrating sectionalism has been
made to stir afresh the heart of the
nation merely for partisan purposes.
All this should cease to VeX the people
And we have an abiding and clear con-
viction that the re-awakened patriotism
of the masses as expressed in the nOmi-
nation of Tilden and Hen bricks be-
tokens the dawn of new and brighter
era in public affairs. The country tires
of misrule and needs the healthful in
huence of strict economy in Federal
management.
Let current of kin ding enthusiasm
belt in one harmonious body the whole
host of American Democracy, and the
present campaign will date the downfall
of the Republi can usurpers and install
in their stead the solid worth of an in
corr uptible conservatism in the man
agement of national affairs.
Let US follow the nodding plume of
our chosen Presidential chiefs, and the
gray twilight of November the fourth
will mingle it's mellow hues with the
shouts of millions of freemen, rejoicing
that the ark of our political covenant is
no Ionger---t the mercy of aliens and
enemies. Casting behind US conflicting
differences, and burying for season
individual prejudiees, may we presea
to the Hayes band of plunderers the
compact front of a real brother
hood. Under the guidance of such
spirit of unity, we may confidently ex-
pee t to see the tattersd and worn battle
flag of the Old Democracy once more
hoat in the sunlight of welcome victory.
ImperiiIed constitu tional liberty expects
every Democrat in November to throw
the weight of his ballot in favor of Re
form, and against the Entertainments of
Federal Capitalization. Republicanism
with the up-lifted dagger of an assassin,
stands ready to sacrifice the life of rep
resentative government in its attempt
TO extend its lease of power.
Like Bruce of Scotland, and his fol-
lowers, let US lock our hearts as shields
and show but one long rampant of re-
sistance to tie treacherous foe.
That nitro-glycerine political stnf,
