capital of the Centennial State, bow their
heads in sorrow and humiliation mt the
spectacle of incapacity which the Demo-
cratic party presents to our country, and
tlcplore the calamitics which the giving of
power to the present administration has

the American people that this admnistrl-
tioM was compelled to abandon its un-

party has made. Its achievements and its
triumphs. extending over thirty years. cs-
