American Democracy, an American pohcy,

American labor, expressed by imposing
taxes. We demand in behalf OF the Demo-
crscy the freedom of American labor by

we have been apprised by q venerable
Statesman. through whose person was
struck Q blow at the vital principle Of the
neutrality-suspicious. in the will Of the
majority-that he cannot permit us to
place in his hands the leadership OF the
Democratic host, for the reason that the
achievement of the Government is an un-
dertaking now too heavy for his failing
strength, enforcing this that his life has
been prolonged until the general judgment
Of his fellow-oountrymen unies in the
wish that the wrong were righted In
his person. The Democrats OF the United
States offer him upon his withdrawal
from these cares. not only respectful
sympathy and esteem, but, also, that best
homage of freedom, the pledge of devo-
ton to the principles and course we deem
inseparable in the history Of the Republic
from its leaders and the name OF Samuel
j. Tilden. With this statement OF the
hopes, principles and purposes OF the
Democratic party, the great issue OF re-
form and change in the administration is
submitted to the people in the calm conf
dence that the popular voice will pro-
nounce in favor of new men, and new and
more favorable conditions, for the growth
of industry, extension Of trade, employ
ment and due reward of labor and capital,
and the general welfare Of the country.
