The Democracy Of the Third Congress
siOnal district of Virginia is again as
SemDled TO decide into whose hands sh4Il
be placed the Democratic banner In the
coming campaign. our constituents who
sent US 10 this convention delegated into
our hands an important trust They have
entrusted TO us, Mr.. Chairman the selec-
ton Of a candidate who Will lead us 10
victory on the 9Th day of November next.
Other COW entions have met here for the
same purpose for which We meet to-day.
Loyalty to Democracy and unity of pur-

has always characterized their deibcIa-

crisis in the Industrial and financial world
caused and brought about by the false
doctrines and erroneous economic theories
of the Republican party. And II appears

enemies Of Democracy TO attempt 10 lay
the responsibility for the distress I'm the
financial and industrial world at the door
of the Democratic party.
some of our brethren have feared that
