desirous Of proceeding 40 once 70 business,
Ii is but proper and right that l should
make some reference % the environments
of the last Democratic Convention iu this
district. and % the political occurrences
since them AT the time the last Demo
cratic Convention presented candidate 10
the people OF this district, the Republican
party. our political opponents, Solemnly
promised the country that they would re
form the tariff and tighten the burdens Of
taxation Since this the band Of time has
marked the passage Of TWO years-yet those
promises have not been fulfilled. The in
iluit0us and unnecessary tax. imposed
alike on necessities and luXuries, still
exists on the statute books, and
.t. burden is felt on the swaddling
cloth aud the CONN alike. The Republican
uartv attempted one thing. however, only
nausiug iu IT'S consummatiOn by the rum
blns 0f an uneasy public opinion. That
thing is the enactment OF the inlqultOus
Force bill That measure is not yet a law,
bat SC che Republicans are again successful
fr rh. National House OF Representatives,
that llw viii be placed on the statute books
.of this country, and the people trammelled
ana hiudered IN the free exercise of the right
10 suffrage. in the interests Of the Repuoli-
can party.

veutiou / want 90 allude, briefly, nut
earnestly. t0 the fraud which was perpe-
trated on the people OF this Congressional
District bv the uuseatiug OF its legally
elected Represontativc That Is wrong
which we viii never C0udone, and which
we viii never cease 20 maintain was an in-
/ famous outrage.

I next business before the Convention is the
