With regre. I have noticed since the adjourn
ment Of the convention that dissatisfaction stiil

situation and remember the muttO, Try try

fer upon faithful members of the party-is he,
I say, to steal uDon in this way and political
I " speaking stab our grand old party IN the
back? Shame! shame. say |, on the man who
I would thus seek To trail in the dust that good
old Democratic banner which has hnated in trI-

| long our glorious country, once more anu en-
tfreiy under DemocratIc control, Will rise PhOe
Dix-like from its ashes and the happy DAYS our
people enjoyed when Democracy held absolute
sway in the land will return 10 bIeSs ana pros, pros
per US. Do not deceive yourselves in regard 10
! the issues now before the people, Hor permit
any false lights to lead you istrty rom the PAIN
of political dIty. Remember that TINS Is the
age of infidelity. sOciu lism and communism ana
that the Republican party, though last eescenu-
. ing to an uuhOuOred grave, IS yet tuli OF e4pe-
dieuts aud will die hard. They hOic mp helore
your eyes the temptation OF another party tna5
has many names as spanish nOblemdn ana
aimOSt as many platforms as there are people
tn be duped by such platitudes. And yet IL IS
/ nothing more than Republican dodge gotten
up and engineered 10y tue leaders Ol that party
Tor no other purpose tdan To throw dust IN the
eyes OF Democrats while they themselves are
enjoying the spuils of office.
once more | say to- You. Democrats OF Cam
bria. be firm and stand up To- the work in the
future as you have done in the past, and my
word for il victory will never cease 10 perch
upon oLr banners. Yours, truly, III. J. II.
