GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: We have

not but be encouraging to every person who
desires the success of the Democratic candi-
dates at the next election. The Republican
party by its abandonment of those prin-
cipes which secured it the confidence
Of majority OF the people in the past
has lost many OF its former adherents while
the facts which have been published during
| the past Tour years as to the meaning and
methods by which the Republican success in
the last National Convention was accom-
pished have convinced the people. But for
| bribery and corruption Gen. Hancock would
| to-day be our President. The Democratic
! party, by its earnest advocacy of retrench-
meut and reform in the national and State
| government, has retained all its former
| strength and gained many recruits from
| the ranks OF its opponents. The i'm
| pOrtance of the political issues of
hn ont Nha tod
| the position which the Democratic party
| viii assume in the coming canvass may be, to
/ a great extent, determined by your action to-
/ Gay. Reports frOm ali parts OF the country
show that thousands of Democrats in every
| state Of the Union are anXiously waiting the
| result OF this convention. Trusting, gentle
| men. that wise cOunsels may prevail in your
| deliberations, | thank you for the honor you
/ have conferred upon me.

I Yiding that the Committee on Credentials be
