freedom of speech upon all public
questins. We want that every voter
be protected in his rights to deposit his
ballot at fair and honestly conducted
elections. The chief duty of the
Government is to protect him In these
rights, without which republican
form OF government would be but a
mockerv. We also desire to protect
and extent our system Of free schools

uity of our institutions. free from all
distinction of sects, caste or color.
Fortunately, amid great difficulties,
we have established our currency upon
a coin basis, and are now rapidly re-

of the Republican party, while it is
apparent that the ouly danger that

the honest discharge of our public
obligations comes from the Democratic
party, which, from its position, is
necessarily controlled by influences
hostile to the principles we advocate .
