| depression and financial ruin every hand,
want and misery staring multltudes IN tbs

Realizing on this condition of things the alb
! solute necessity for decided change in gov
ernmental policy and administration, both us
respects measures and men, we hereby charge
upon he Repu blican party which has controlled
| our State and federal government Tor the last
twenty Years, full responsibility for this
lamen,able condition OF affairs, and confidently
appeal to the people for the restoration of the
government to Democratic hands, and reaffirm
our devotion to the following cordial Demo-
] cratic principles:
First Supremacy of the Federal Consttu-

our own and foreign countries, and therefore
e are an impeachment rather than encourage
y iaent to American industry, devised in the ln-

d the substitution of simple revenue tariff
which shall be productive without being op
Il prc>sive.

~ the reform clubs il their efforts to reclaim ou
- fellow citizens. We condemn that provsio
ny Of existing law whereby disreputablc men hav
