We will hear Of no such idea Inc

We absolutely repudiate the idea tha'
Mr. Cleveland Is the only Democrat that
CON no elected President. Wheh the
democratic party is true TO its prihcipieS
- can elect any respectable man VINO Is
known 70 be upright, honest and cour-
a,,oo,s President The whole country
- for the rule of true Democratic
nrinc,nIes In his secret heart every man
u,iebes To see a system of laws that bear
I'm exactly the same way upon all men,
and that is the cornerstone OF Democra-
cv If is only when the Democratic party
falls under the dominion OF men VINO
neryert IL from it's true aims INTO the pur-
! suit of schemes for debasing the coun-
try's money sadding unfair income taxes
upon rich men, threatening men In the
peaceable enjoyment of what Is their
own. and effecting all its aims by fraudu-
lent elections and Tammany rottenness
that the country renounces II and de-
clares 1t unworthy OF its trust. All that
the Democratic party has got to do to
regain the confidence of the country Is
| to cut itself loose from all the undemo-
| cratic proppcftinpS which n has allowed
| itself to become hitched on 10 and tie IT.
| self resolutely TO sound money and equali-
| ~ OF all men before the laws. and 1t will
regain the country's confidence and retain
| IL as long as IL is true to itself.
