inspired our forefathers, but they are
borne by candidates worthy of the best
days of the republic; as democratic as the
greatest democrat, as pure as the purcst
patriot in our history. In Cleveland and

the spirit of American life and the genius
OF American institutions; men who. in
personal character and public service,
are not surpassed by the noblest states
