ber 10, 1879. congratulate you upon the ac-
ton of the DEMOCRATIC National Conventl0n,

sion calls for gratitude and inspires unOoah4eu t
Nation The best hopes Of the Democracy OF the
Union are realized IN having for their chosen
leaders men of such distinguished PATRIOTISM. Iai-
ents and probity as 10 command universal respect
and make 1t a privilege and an honor to follow
them Aud to their election, as tne pn az" t

ROASTING OVER THE BOLT.
It;s needless for us to recount the circumstances
u,iicb led To and necessitated our organization.
They have become matters OF history. lhe step
taken and those which followed 1t have been COM
pletey justified by the result. An organized pro-
lest WAS made against an unwarrantable ana ui-
democratic attempt to the power and prestige of
great party for personal ends and to the injury OF
a portiou OF that party, which had always been
loyal and faithful to its principles and cause That
protes, was efcctual. The ballots of 1866 Demo-
cratic citizens, who had moral courage to
resent and resist a great wrong, have taught
officials whom a party has clothed with
governmental power that they cannot use
tier authority 10 tranple upon members OF
i'm defiance
shat the machine has no place IN democratic
politics and exist only to be broken that Dem,
OcratIc ctiz will never consent 10 DO tYranhlZeu
Inv committees cliques or rings. and when occasion
requires will assert their rights as American 1ree-
men The party that Tesiss contradiction IN gov
ernment will not be dominated Dy any DOdy OF IT.
resnonsible managers lie party OF the people must
be controlled by the people themselves; dlterences
OF opinion respecting men ana measures must mey-
itaby arse in any party, but they should be dealt
with III an open and honorable way, and never
should individuals be prosecuted removed IRON
ottcr without cause, aud broken down III reputation
and estate on account of differences honestly held
and courteously maintained.
THE GUMBLE1ON GRIEVANCE AGAIN.
Official power conveys no right TO do wrong, to
remove Officers without just cause or far hearing
TO crush individuals and entail expensive tigaions
upon municipalities. The protest made at the polls
in behalf of D.mocratic principles and methods has
had the salutary effect Of pointing out the line be-
yond which Official authority cannot venture with
impnnitv The action of 1870 viii not need repeat
ing The nomination Of Hancock the soldier
statesman of Pennsylvania, has lifted the whole
party above EMBARRASSING local and State dlstrac-
tors TO a broad National ground and has blotted
ont past alterations by gland hope. There is now
hut one party, cause and one work, III whcn all
Democrats should heartily unite, ana 10 when they
should devote their utmost zeal. Let past allena-
tons be forgotten Buried forever be everything
that has tended to divide our cOunseS and embltteT
those who should cooperate. Sacrlhce personal
preferences aud ambitious on the altar oi reunited
party 49,,
Let everything be do;e that can be done with
elfrespect ana honor To strengthen the Democratic
party in the State and Nation ana secure an uh-
precedcnted Democratic triumph. We appeal 10
you IN the spirit OF conclliatl0n ana harmony, so
stnkingly illustrated at Cincinnati, to throw such
zeal aud enthusiasm into your weii-uireCted ehortS
during the campaign as will lncte all other Demo-
Gratis to emulate your example and carry the Empire
State for Hancock and English by splendid ma
5ority.
PROSPECTS OF PUBLIC PLUMBER.
The times resplendent with omens OF victory
After twenty years of defeat and struggling for
tie rights of the people and The States under the
Constitution the Democratic party, schooled by
sdyersty aud strengthened by discipline, Is once
more rising to the ascendancy in the Nation under
honored and worthy leaders The frightened pros

decided and manly action. All that we contended
ior under much embarrassment and mispresenta-
lion has been gained. The responsibility of throw
ing the State Government into Republican HANDS
tes's on those who forced us INTO posi-
uon from which there was no honorable
!elreat. The course which took admins
Nfed needful admonition TO party managers.
