There is a Democratic revival roughout
| the length and breadth OF the land. All Deu'
ocrats desire IL shall be permanent, that in
| 1884 we may harvest full fruits of fidelity to
principle and party. There are fears 1t m ay
| not be so, and we may stumble by the way
side. An honest discussion OF party policy,
danger signals whenever and wherever they
are called for, and the maintenance of the Or
ganizstion In its purity, free from all at
| TEN pts at bossng or abuse. seem to be the one

here the Iariff question enters with its ele>

Post will faithfully adhere to the traditional
policy of the Pennsy lvania Democracy in

| to give judiclous incidental Protection, IL Will
advise harmony and cancellation in adjusting
