First. DO you deem it advisable
Tor the Democratic party to place in
nomination y candidate for Dele gate
TO Congress We do. We are in
favor Of nominating q Democratic
candidate Of the Cleveland stripe,
aud I'VE will love and stay with
him for the enemies he will make"
Second, DO you favor a peoples
movement, etc. We are in favor OF
the people moving. but when 80 do
ing. we hope they will move in
safe, reliable and unmistakable d.
rec,ion. and bring up in n Demo
cratic hafbor, with no doubtful colors
flying
We further advocate, That n plank
he inserted ia our platform demand.
ing tho forfeiture and restoration of
unearned lands. etc. expressed in
language so PLAIN that no citizen can
err ~ the step he is taking.
Wa care not when or where the
Territorial Convention il held, or
who the candidate may be, if lie

braeing embracing the conditions

though fully endorsed by the
YorSo DEMOCRATS on Mason CY.
