Aru..ror,n ,h., WIN win.

The democratic party can win east,
ly next year IL it returns To it's old
landmarks and nouninates trustworthy
candidates who are known To he in
accord with the platform. We need
nothing new or strange. y simple
announcement Of old fashioned dem.
ocratio principles is all that is
needed. Here are II few things we
must say:
LEST. Honesty and capability in all
public offices.
md. \ rigid economy in every
branch OF the public service.
Bird. \ strict and patriotic adher-
ance to the Monroe doctrine, and il
necessary nm enforcement OF the
same.
18th. a continuance of the doctrine
Of tariff reform on the lines as laid
down in the original Wilson bill.
9th. 4 return to the principle OF
bimetallism. meaning thereby the free
use OF gold and silver rs money.
9Th. a liberal and patriotic policy
toward all old soldiers and their wild
" and orphans.
It'll. \ solemn pledge to the wage
workers OF this country that their in
terests will be carefully guarded and
all encroachments on their rights by
combined capital shall be resisted. In
other words that they shall have fair
play in the race Of life.
Sth. The abolition of that sham
system of civil service reform which
builds up an Office holding class and
forbids Young men from aspiring to
places III the public service.
These are some Of the old fashioned
democratic principles which must he
announced i'll our platform, il we OK
pect To succeed. The substitution of
republican doctrine for my of the
principles above announced will lead
to certain defeat. Let us be true to
ourselves, and truct to our countrymen,
and true tai our country, and then the
people will sustain us.-IIamilton
