But the fundamental principles Of
the Democracy, approved by the
united voice OF the people, remain,
and VII ever remain, as the best
and only security for the continu-
ance of free government. The
preservation of personal right, the
equality fall citizens bcforethe law
the reserved rights Of the States
and the supremacy Of the Federal
Government within the limits Of
the Constitution will ever form the
true basis of our liberties and can
never be surrendered without des-
troylng 0at balance of right and
power Whcl enables a%continent to
be developed in peace and social
order to be maintained by means Of
local self government. But it is
indispensable for the practical APP
plication and enforcement of these
fundamental principles that the
Government should not always be
controlled by n political party,
Frequent change of administration
is as necessary as constant recurrence
to unpopular will otherwise abuses
grow up and the Government, in
stead Of beng carried on for the
general welfare, becomes an instru-
mentality Tor imposing heavy bur
dens upon the MANY who are gov
crncd, torthe benefit of the few who
govern. Public servants thus be
come arhitraryrulers This is now
the condition of the country,
hence a change is demanded The
republican party, so far as principle
is concerned, is a reminiscence; in
practice, an organization forenrich-
ingthoSe who control its machinery.
The frauds and jobbery which have
been brought to light IN every de
partment OF the government are
sufficient to have called for reform
within The republican party; yet
those in authority, made reckless
by the long possession Of power,
have succumbed to its corrupting
influence, and have placed in nom
snation a ticket against which the
independent portion Of the party are
in open revolt; therefore a change
IS demanded.
Such a change was alikenecessary
IN 1876, but the will Of the people
was then defeated by a fraud which
can never be forgotten nor con
doned. Again in 1850 the change
demanded by the people was de-
tcatcd by the lavish use Of money.

of reform and change in admins

There are enough democratic candidates
who are willing, but few who are available.
The free trade rock rises before the rickety
raft with threats Of ruin. The issue has to
bo met within the party in some way not yet
discovered. Tho question of platform is
moro easily managed than that of candidate.
The south will not have Randall. and it is
hardly to be expected that the northern wing
of the party will accept either Carlisle or
Blackburn. Bayard and Payne are both from
regions that have numerous industries that
demand protection. Voorhees, is an out-and-
out protectonist, and stands no chance.
Hendricks excites no sympathy, and it is be-
lieved that Tilden would not wish him, if he
were himself nominated. to have even tho
second place on the ticket. Tho Mcdonald
boom appears to have subsidized. As to Judge
David Davis, he is too conservative O man
ever to please the rank and file of tho party,
and the olive branch rendered by Butler is
refused in most quarters with contumely.
This catalogue includes most of tho available
timber, but whether any of it will be used
or circumstances will force some person not
now thought of on the convention, no one
can even family guess.
