To the People OF the United sates
There is only one great issue involved in this
campaign. The question is, whether this country
shall be governed honestly and wisely or cor

James g. b 'aine as President and of John A. Iso
gan Vice President well insure bad government.

One hundred millions OF money not needed to

trusted with itsdisbursement. The methods which
he has employed in this campaign prove co.,
