The record-union., 1896-06-20

ciliation, concession and hope with
which we put it forth.
We have endeavored in a plain way to
set the matter before the eyes of our
fellow citizens We invoke the union
of all men and parties who believe that
the time has come for the triumph of
justice. 1t is an hour when the people
may speak for themselves as individ
uals and through conventions yet to be
held.
1t is the right of every citizen to in
dicate his preferences. With this in
view, we offer to the forthcoming con-
ventions and to the people the name Of
man for Presidency of the United
States whose life in public and private
represents those distinguished virtues
which adorned the days and the deeds
of the earlier time of this republic;
return to which virtues are requisite
for the prosperity and contentment of
the people and the perpetuity and COM
handing example of these 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 justice and
the common cause of his fellow -citi-
zen has been as wide as the country
We believe that the people of the United
States have him in their hearts as he
had their interests in his purpose
through all the work of an exalted life.
1t is not merely as the exponent of
monetary reform that we present this
man to the people. 1t is true that he
has waged a mighty war for the restor-
nf La
and his name has been identified as
that OF no other living man with this
great cause. But had his services been
less demanded, and less noticed in this
direction, the people would still have
recognized IN him for other labors a
statesman of the purest type.
HIS only poverty has been that of
purse In all things, etc, the generosi-
ties OF man to man; in kindness of
deeds for his fellows and in the study
and the doings of a mighty career he
mas been one of the most opulent
Americans of any age.
In submitting this name to the people.
we remind them that Just a. generation
ago from the heart of the boundless
West, and touched by the finger of God.
there arose an emancipator who was
powerful in the work of human deliver
ance. BY his wisdom was courage,
providentially directed, millions were
set free, and the Nation kept in it's
holy union If others shall see this op-
portunity as we see it, if our fellow
citizens shall see this duty as we see
it, that sublime history may be re-
peated and another man-clothed in
the majesty of devotion to the race
will be lifted to power whereby by his
wisdom and courage, providentially di-
rected, more millions may be made
free from chains as CALLING as those of
actual slavery. and the Nation may be
preserved in the unity of it's mission
to the world.
