 Hsesolve1, We charge that the course of the Democratic party has demonstrated that in its desire to control public business and money, il will sacrifice the best name of the people, disregard the pledges, and, as is fully illustrated in its platform, will not put 10 the test of popular approval. by plain and straightforward statements, its jews upon issues directly affecting the welfare of the Territory, we srraign our present Dele gate in Congress for his inactivity, incom- potency and his entire failure to obtain the passage of any measure for our benefit.
