DErocRAr1c REFORM.


It has been asked. what, in the event
Of the election Of Cleveland and Hend-
ricks. will be the the political eourse Of
the Democratic PARTY? Among the fiHt
acts Of q Democratic Administration Will
be an earnest effort to secure labor from
the encroachments of capital in control
of legislation. 1t will guard the rights
Of American citizenship the world over.
1t will do its best to elevate and purify
the civil service and relieve the public
by wise and just enactments from the
oppre ,sive burden Of unnecessary taxa
ton. There will be no sumptuary laws
under u Democratic Administration. The
expenses of Government will be reduced,
and economy in expenditure take the
place Of waste and extravaganza. TheSe
are some of the things which will follow
q Democratic Administration. and they
are very necessary, too, rs the people
perceive.
