contest this year upon principle and not upon
candidates. The Chicago platform is one Of
the broadcast Americanisms. It distinctly
announces ia stronger terms than ever used
before In any platform the doctrine Of pro-

Of the rights Of American citizans AZ homo
or abroad And it is equally pronounced IN
its determination to maintain a wiss ond
just diplomacy in all Of its dealings with
foreign nations, unmoved by neither blus.er
nor anger. This convention will heartily
ratify that platform.
I'm addition to this we enter a great state
contest on principles only second in import-

whenever it has had control OF the state has
never failed to give 1t wise and ecopomi-
cal administration. We are also to submit
the question whether any particular class az
our citizens, by combination and the use ~
money, shal be able to boast that thevseon-
troll and own the state government in anv Of
its departments. We hold that government
should not be by cliques or classes, but by
the people, and we shall ask the people 10 saw
whether any class shall control the state
government in the interest Of any portion of
the people less than the whole people

Shall the party which has led every reform
for twenty-five years continue to maintain
the government on the principles it has es-
tablished; whether the party which has made
OF our people one great nation; which has
established universal freedom and suffrage;
which saved the union; which organized our
finances so that we met the stupendous ex-
penses Of war, and before the war closed had
paid one-half of the vast debt and main
tanned the credit OF the nation, so that 1t
stood higher than that OF any other govern
ment IN the world; whether the party Of Lin
coin and Grant, and the great ideas which
they set In motion, shall control this govern
ment, or whether it shall be turned over to
the reactionary force who propose to turn
the wheels backwards and undo, so far as
our material and industrial interests are
concerned, everything that has been done
by us
