HOPES PLAY.
On these facts We present our condemnation OF the
past and make appeal for the future. As Sena-
tors of the state and representatives of the people,
publican Legislature of iy6. 1877 and 1878 and so
far in 1879. We believe that the apporionment re-
CURED by the constitution has been wilfuiiy
Congressl, working officially and otherwise for his
own re-election-a third term Senator in favor OF
third term President; quarrclliDg with the federal
administration. because be cannot control tho
patronage OF the government, opposed at heart by
the whole administration party not less than by all
democrats. and yet with man in caucus. Senate or
Assembly, with courage enough 10 proclaim his hest
convictions and therefore supporting man who
uses his place and power not much for the honor
of the State aud the peace and welfare OF the country
to make himself Senator and to keep his friends
in Office To secure this reelection for third term
republican Legislatures have not only refused to
Obey the supreme law but have spurned all appeals
from great bodies highly taxed and long oppressed
citizens to this continued wrong. and by unwise
divisions in ranks III State again and
again proved to be democratic in its sentiments
and choice OF State officers. find that, while the
republican party has TOR the causes stated been sue
cessfl in the legislation and in the election of JUS
tce of the Court of Appeals by plurality vote they
also in q minority OF forty thousand in the
State the future will be secured ii the past is
well remembered and wisely improved. The two
houses of Congress few weeks hence Will pass into
democratic hands for the first time i'll nearly eighteen
years, and already in the last two Congresses the
democratic majority III the House of Representatives
has reduced the public expenditures annually many
millions of dollars and restored to the nation some
thing of its ancient regard for economy, reform, frce
representative government, with public patriotism
becoming forbcarance and good will. We hope to see
the democratic party successful in the future as it
has been victorious in the past.
