power to testify to my affectionate re-
memberance Of the people Of old
Berkeley. So il there is anything You
knew Of call on me and will respond
is possible. do not know your poll
tics nor does it matter now, for on
March 4th We inaugurate at Washing
ton not only a Democratic President
but the doctrines OF pence oneafth and
good will to men. Cleveland will be
the President Of the whole country,
South as well as the North, and a
Democratic Congress will iegislate
fol the best interests of~forty-four sister
States. The old Jeffersonian party Is
clean ID islssnest. Its leaders live
and die poor men like Sam Randall,
honored by friend and foe, not for
their fortunes Of many millions saved
out ~ Eve Or eight thousand dollars
salary, but for the integrity of their
hives and life long service 70 the Re-
public. No man has ever stretched out
his hand to STAY d Democratic Presi-
dent for even the idiot and the insane
know them as friends TO their country
and to humanity. Ny advice TO you
as from an old man to a young one is:
Be a Christian if you can q mean a
real christian, not simply a church
member) but whether You be Chris
tian or not, be d Democrat in name
and'i III thought and in every purpose
Of your life. Thanking you again for
your paper, Or rather for tlie pleasure
it gave. me, am your unknown friend
