First-we believe that the desires and de.
mands of the few should always be subordin'
ate 70 the welfare and best interests Of tho
many; that the administration OF President
Cleveland has been In direct opposi tion TO that
principle, with depression, encouragement
and disaster as its fruition.

that upon the coutentment apd happiness of
the masses depsnds the psrpstuIty Of our In
