We have endeavored In a plain way
to set the matter before the eyes OF our
fellow-citixens. We invoke the union OF
all men and all parties who believe that
the time has come for the triumph Of
Justice. 1t Is an hour when the people

indicate his preferences. With this in
view. We offer to the forthcoming con-

man for the presidency whose life In
public and private represents those dis

days and the deeds OF the earlier time
OF this republic. a return to which Writ

Teller. a man of the people and for the
people. He Is OF no section. His expert

common justice and the common cause
OF his fellow citizens has been as wide as
the country. We believe that the people
OF the United States have him In their
hearts, as he has had their interests in

that OF his purse. In other things, In
the generosities Of man to man. in kind
mess OF deeds for his fellows and In the
study and dolngs OF mighty career,
he has been one of the most opulent Of
American citizens OF any age.
