the strict maintenance Of the public faith State and
National and tariff for revenue only, the sub0rdi
nation Of the military to the civil power, and genu-
inc and thorough reform Of the civil service. The
right of free ballot is a right preservatve of all
rights, and must and shall be maintained In every
part ofthe United States,
The existing administration Is the representative
ofcOnspracy only and Its claim OF right to surround
the ballot boxes with troops and deputy marshas to
ntlmdate and obstruct the electors and the unpre-
cedented Of veto to maintain its corrupt and des
potc power, insults people and imperils their nsttu'

shall make 1t forever impossible for defeated can
ddate to brlbe his way to the seat of usurper by
bleting villains upon the people The great fraud

al votes Of two states the candidate defeated at the
polls was declared TO be President, and for the first
time In American history the Will of the people was
set aside under threat of military violence struck
deadly blow at our system
ment. The Democratic party, to preserve the coun'
try from the horrors ofCivil war submitted for the
time in the firm and patriotic belief that the people
would punish this crime in 1880. This issue preCedes
and dwarfs every other. 1t inspires q more sacred
duty upon the people of the Union than ever ad-
dressed the conscience of nation of treemen:
