Is this not worth the attention of the people
as individuals, and worth the attention of po-
litical conventions yet to be held in this year
1882 Is not this SO great an end that all who
believe in the possibility of attaining il by the
means proposed can yield something OF
their partisanship both in conventions
that the masses and the remaining
conventions will have the courage and the
generosity to unite for this purpose that We
have dared to offer our views to the people Of
the United States, and because in the past
there has lacked a rallying point for the
masses, who hold We do to this belief. We
venture an act trusting that it will be received
in the same spirit OF Cancellation, concession
and hope with which we put it forth.
We have endeavored in a plain way to set
the matter before the of fellow Cltis
Gems. 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 may speak for themselves as in
dividuals and through conventions yet to be
held 1t is the right of every citizen to
indicate his preferences. With this in view,

virtues which adorned the days and
the deeds OF the earlier time OF
this republic: return to which viz
tues is requisite for the prosperity and
contentnent of the people and the perpetuity
and commanding example after free institu-
tions- That name IS Henry NJ. Teller-a man
OF the people and for the people He is for no
section His experience and service, his devo-
ton to the common justice and the common
cause Of his fellow citizens has been
wide as the country. We believe that
the people OF the United States have
him in their hearts as he has 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 to the people.
It is true that he has waged mighty war for
the restoration OF the money of the conStitu-
tion. and his name has been iden-
titled 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 recog
nized in him for other labors statesman Of
the purest type. His only poverty has been
that of purse: in all thousands else-in the
generoSities of man to man. in kindness OF
deeds for his fellows, and in the study and the
dolngS of a mighty career he has been one OF
the most opulent American citizens of any age.
In submitting this name to the people
mind them that just 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 de-
liyerance. BY his wisdom and courage. provi-
dentially directed. millions were set free
and the nation kept in its holy union. II
others shall see this opportunity see
1t; II our fellow citizens shall this
duty as we see it. that sublime history may be
repeated. and another man, clothed in the
majesty OF devotion to the race. will be lifted
to power. where. by his wisdom and courage.
providentially directed, more millions may De
made free from chains CALLING those Of
actual slavery. and the nation may be pre-
served in the unity of its mission to the world
