The freedom of the individual to eugag

the fundamental and essential principle
Of the Democratic party. We repudiat,

More than all we deplore the out burst
of sectional hate which attended til

This platform is accepted 10y the Pres

spirit in which it was adopted. Every
speech he delivers is fired with inilamma-
tory appeals to the poor against the rich
