through questionable influence, il
not by unquestionable corruption ;
controlling legislation and making it
impossible even to investigate their
doings debating what their en-
ployes shall receive, and how much
they shall labor, in the most des-
potie terms; and the Republican
party has encouraged their develop
ment and strengthened their grip
on the material interests of the conn
try. The Democracy look with
alarm on the growth of corporations,
which already defy the popular will,
and divert legislation to their selfish
aggrandizement. Every right of
capital must be sacredly maintain
ed. Agrarianism is hostile to the
interest and repugnant to the feel~
ings of our people. But the Demo
cratic party maintains that the rights
Of the people are paramount to all
others, and that the government of
the people. for the people, by the
people. must be sustained against
any and every combination. We
protest against granting subsidies
or giving the peoples land to any
corporation, and call on the State
and National Governments to hole
every corporation to rigid accOun-

The Democracy demands an eff.

tration of the State and National
Governments. They hold the Re-
publieans responsible for the crimi-
nal wastefulness and corruption of |
the National Administr tration for the |
demoralized civil service of the |
country; we insist that the costs OF |
government and justice shall be re-
duced that the burdens of taxation
shall be lessened; that all unneces-
sary expenses shall be cut off, aud |
that the Government shall be ad-
ministered on the principles laid
down by its founders for the good
of the all people.
The Democracy of New York can
not forget the audacious and unpar-
alIeled crimes by which Republicans
violated the sanctity of our elective
system and defrauded the people of
the President of their choice, pla-
cing their own defeated candidate
in the highest Office in the nation.
These crimes have now become mat.
ters of history. The responsibility
for them has been unalterably fixed |
on the Republican party leaders.
Their acts have branded them as
traitors to the liberties of the Peo-
pie that centre in the ballot-box.
They have proved themselves unfit
to be ever again intrusted with the
Government founded by Jefferson
and Washington and their great
compeers; and an injured and in-
diguant people will see that they
are consigned to the oblivion they
have earned, and are covered with
richly merited obloquy. The friends
of free institutions should every
where rally to rescue the Govern
ment from party that is danger

Southern States have at last escaped
from corrupt Republican ''earpet-

have secured the priceless blessings
of self-government. Let liberty be
everywhere followed by fraternity.
Aecursed be the men who seek to
revive dead discords and fan ex-
piring passions to blaze. Let the
impoverished South, now stricken
by pestilenoe and crying for aid, be
met by a generosity that exceeds
the occasion. and that shall bury all
bitterness in gratitude. No more
sectional feuds, but one nation with
one people, bound together by Dem
