Is the Nation at large. The colored

THE STOCK IL TRADE
of corrupt politicians, but shall enjoy his
rightful liberties and his equality before
the law amid universal good will. As
for the reform Democracy, to whose
standards victory has been tied with all
her garlands on, it only remains for them
to welcome every ally, every friend, close
up the ranks and press on shoulder TO

one watch word-reiorm. FeIlow.citi.
zens, peace between all sections, prosper
ity in all our homes--of these you have
been for years deprived, by the mistaken
solcitude Of patriotic Republicans, played
upon by
SELFISH AND CORRUPT LEADERS
who have kept warm the dying embers
Of civil strife IN order to escape the in.
spection of the trusts which they have
betrayed. For eleven years you have
had the name Of peace, but at no time
have you had the substance OF peace. In
lieu thereof you have had the grinding
taxation and the wasteful expenditure OF
war. just before every election every
year you have had the preaching of a
new crusade against n section utterly de.
feated in war and anxious only to be
completely reconciled in peace. For
eleven years the power Of the men who
have seized away the control of their party
from the hands Of
ITS sTATEMEN AND FOUNDERS
has been supreme in almost every de.
partment Of the Federal Government.
Discarding the hopes Of prolongng their
domination by benefcent public measures
they have created and traiicked upon
public calamities. The policy they adopt
ed has been worked out. Its failure has
been absolute. In place of past perform
ances these same corrupt and selfish lead
ers now prefer promises already broken
as their titles to further trust Having
Frustrated our manifold industries by vast
aggregates aud the worst methods of
Federal taxation they now again solicit
your confidence as instruments of re-
trenchment aud reform, Having
DEBAUCHED THE PUBLIC SERVICE,
and having just now in the face of open
day assessed their army Of lO0, 600 office
holders--the peoples servants, paid by
the peoples taxes--in order to create
immense corruption funds to Illustrate
the peoples will, they now profess to be
champions OF civil service reform Hav-
ing imposed upon the Southern States
the rapacity, fraud and plumber of carpet
bag government; having almost ruined
the prosperity of the South, and having
created terror, uncertainty and confusion
in all the productive industries of the
South, which furnish most of the exports
of our whole country, keep in motion
the commerce and manufactures of the
North and East, and furnish market
for the agricultural products of the West,
they now ropose by renewal Of
THE SAME FATAL POLICY
to prolong their own power, in the hope
of conceaIng their misdeeds, and for this
purpose they do not hesitate to renew the
cry of intolerance, to revive the dying
of fraternal strife, and to ap.
peal to the fears and prejudices of the
timid and ignorant
Fellowcitizens, these men and their
