THE Democratic platform declares that
the republican party has Steadily de-
cayed in morality" This is the perfec-
ton of cheek emanating from a party
whose chief strength comes from the
purlious: and wicked slums in cities
like Chicago and New York with gam
blers and blacklegs as its chief aiders
and abettors in placing its statesmen OF
the Carter Harrison stripe in Office. The
corruptions among the people inhabiting
the prairies of Iowa, Minnesota and Ne
braska are greatly to be deplored, and if
we would see the perfection ofvirtue and
all that is truly good and moral we must
select those localities that poll the largest
democratic vote.
