Tribute to its Leaders.

I
'm the person OF Cleveland and Hen
bricks, the Democrats have nominated a
ticket, poor in purse, but proud IN spirit
and honest in purpose. TheY have no
barrel, neither have they ramished rep

OF HIM or any other leader Of the Reuub-
licGl party" Under Democratic rule,
when the Nation was weak, every
insult 10 the dag was resented, every
foot at territory was acquired, and the
american lag HoGlel OH every sea and
III every part OK the world an omni-
preScn. pledge OF protection to American
4 citizenship. Under republican rule, when
our nation was ~ the zenith of its power
and glory aud wealth, our iiag became.

rs the mythical SAa serpent; and Au,cri-
can citizenship BIAS bceG outraged by the
most insignificant Of luliJuS.
Whenever tEc Rcpu llicau party has
demanded redress IL has been ~ collars

sf Agar his followers claim that hewill
receive great support from the young
81 men Of the South, amongst whom there
M Is a war-lil;e spirit. Let them MT take
TINS iiattering JUNCTION to their souls.
They have found few older men like
Chalmers MGhOnc and iOngstfcet, who
fora long time had lived on Tie sweets
OF official patronage and power
who, rather than suffer tn,
pangS and mcunvenicurco Of disappointed
ambition, barterod away their hOnurand
the confidence OF their people who had
followed tlcm 10 the mouth OF the dead
" cannon, but who called Il halt when
they proposed 10 lead them to the field
of dishOnO1 No sirs, the young men of
the South have remained true to Dem
ocratic principles in the face Of twenty
years Of defeat, ana without It single
National victory except 1Se, OF which
corruption o. the Republican party
Democracy is principle with them,
ana their ildclitY cannot be shaken by
thc allurehentS of official patronage or
promise Of Il war for booty. They
would respond, as their fathers
before them, to resent an insult
to the Tag of our country, but
never to disturb international peace for
the personal or political aggraudi2e
ment of any man or party.
"SpeaEing as one of them ! will say TO
the advocates of Mr.. Blaine, that the
minds OF the young men Of the South
3 are rather on the pursuits Of industry
"A and peace than on the pomp and glory
OF an incoEsequential war. They arc
no vagabondish, idle set, who hope in a
war Of adventure 10 retrieve the for
tunes that their fathers lost i'll an unfor-
tuuate civil war.
1--WE have enough 20 do in the patriotic
effort to build up the waste places OF
our own sunny South, without becoming
free hooters, to suffer from the
denOralizing influences of war
{ of greed and covetuous conquest.
. Tho young men of Boston, New York
Philadelphia and other Northern cities
would not rejoice more than we of the
South to see our ships and National
colOrs atlOat and honorcd in every lati-
tudo, but we would rather thcy wOul q
