exposed tinessing on the part OF some
individuals connected with the Demo-
cratic party In this State, in their ell
deavors to obtain power and pelf, that

political opponents, and that ] inten-
tionally do an injustice to tho Demo-
cratic party, Unfortunately con-
demning tho motives and actions Of
the party en- masso because OF the sell

conduct of individual members of the
purity. Now | assure all whom 1t may
concern, that In anything | may have
said, or will say, ] have no intention
or desire to do any injustice to the
The party. But ! do desire to do some
thing towards taking the scales from
the eyes OF some devotees to that
party by showing them TO what vile
uses they are put TO-" and what
tools they are made of when they eN-
ercise their franchise for the encour-
agement OF selfish and designing lead

Democratic administration based on
the principle of the greatest good to
the greatest number Is the best admin
istration the country could have, l
have never doubted, and to have men
in Office who would regard their office
in such light, and all administration
based on such principle would Join

philosopher, tho poet, or tho religious
man" says Ralph Waldo Emerson,
will OF course wish to Gust his vote
with the Democrat Tor wide suffrage
and for facilitating IN every manner

faction
There ora so many rascals In the
Democratic part! who are Democrats
J for what they can make out of 1t. thai
! the salt has lost its SAVIOUR, and they
so mould the conduct and charac
