IL II Not Worth Attention.
Is not this purpose worth the attention
Of political conventions yet to be held In
this year Of 1882 Is not this 80 great an
end that all who believe in the possibility
of attaining it by the means proposed can
yield something of their partisanship both
In conventions and ut the pollss 1t 10 in
the hope that the masses and the remain
ing conventions will have the courage and
the generosity to unite for this purpose
that we have dared offer our views to the
people Of the United States, and because
in the past there has lacked q rallying
point for the masses who hold, as WEI do, to
this belief, we venture an act, trusting 1t
will be received In the same spirit of con-
ciliation, concession and hope with which
We put it forth.
Have Made Plain Statement.
We have endeavored in plain way to
get the matter before the eyes Of our fel-
low citizens. We invoke the union of all
men and all parties who believe that the
time has come for the triumph Of justice.
It is an hour when the people may speak
for themselves as individuals and through
conventions to be held. 1t is the right of
every citizen to indicate his preferences.
With this in view we offer to the forth
coming conventions and to the people the
name Of q man for the presidency of the
United States, whose life in public and in
private, represents those distinguished
virtues which adorned the days and the
deeds of the earliest time of this republic; a
return to which virtues is requisite for the
prosperity and contentment Of the people
and the perpetuity and commanding
example of free institutions.
That Name Is Henry NJ. Teller,
. man of the people and for the people.
He is of no section. His experience and
service, his devotion to the common JUS
tice and the common cause of his fellow
citizens f'is 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 and their purposes
through all the work of AN exalted life.
1t is not merely as the exponent of mon
etary reform that we present this man to
the people. 1t is true he wagcd Il mighty
war for the r:ghtful money OF the consti-
tuition and his name has been identified. MS
no other living man with !nis great cause.
But had his services Eeen less demanded
and less noticed in this direction, the peo-
pie would still have recognized in him for
other labors,
Statesman Of the Purest Type.
His only purpose has been that of purse
in all things else-in the generosltles OF
man to man, in kindliness of deeds for his
fellows, and in the study and the doings
of mighty career he has been one OF the
most Oppulent American citizens OF any
age. In submitting this name to the peo-
pie we remind them that just generation
ago, from the heart Of the bouhdless West
and touched by the finger Of God, there
arose an omancipator who was powerful
in tho work of human deliverance. BY his
wisdom with courage, ,providently directed,
millions were set free and the nation kept
in its holy union. II others shall see this
opportunity as we see 1t; II our fellow Cit
isens shall see this duty as We see 1t;
that sublime history may be repeated and
another man-clothed in the majesty OF
devotion to the race-will be lifted to
power whereby his vision and courage,
providently directed, more millions may
b made free from chains as CALLING 40
those Of actual slavery, and the nation
may be preserved in the unity OF ito mis-
sion to the world.
