The work OF the Democratic campaign commit
tee mas mostly been confined to the preparation
ana issue OF campaign textbook, wherein is re-
corded all OF the alleged shortcomings OF the Re-
puolcan party and its leaders. The Democrats
quite naturally have TO rely upon this IA their
only nope oil victory They must make their
points negatively, for good reasons. Having done
nothing themselves to enttle them to them to the
sufrages OF the muses. they must do their ut
most at criticising the work Of the Republican
party and in slandering it, leaders. BY attempt
| ing to smirch the record OF General Garfield they
| expect to elect General Hancock. The matter
contained In this document is a rehash of news
! paper publications with noticeable lack OF proof
to support the numerous charges made. The
committee have failed to notice the labors OF the
different investigating committees, the Glover
committee the Potter committee, and other
means used by the Democratic party in congress
to fix something criminal upon the Republican
party, during the past six or eight years, which
serves to show that their failure is by them an
acknowledged fact.
Of especial note was the
