political career has been marked with selfish
ness treaehery and dishonesty, and because
he has lost the respect confidence and friend
ship OF many OF the best men In the party, TO
whom it looks for guidance, because he hes
damaged the Democracy more than any
other man In the country: because his rtafrls
is lrretrieyably connected with attempts to
bribe electors and with scandals brought TO
light by cipher dispatches; because hundreds
OF thousands Of Democrats cannot oonseisrl-
tiously vote for him and his nomination
would sound the knell OF Democratic defeat,

best leadership the party can have we ap-
peal to you to send unpledged delegations oh
representative men, who need no instructions
TO select as Democratic standard~bearers men
who will unite the party, inspire public conf
dence, klndle popular enthusiasm and lead to
victory"
