rHE OPPoRrUNTrY rs HERE.

The Democratic opportunity has
come. Let us fght the Republicans
on their unconstitutional measures,
their serfdom to the corrupt money
power, their oppressive taxation,
their extravagance and general rot
tenness on questions of pubic veal.
All these are covered in the brief
phrase: "rhe American flag" 1t ia
a plank wide enough, long enough and
strong enough for all honest citizens
to fght upon, to the overthrow of the
weakest and worst administration
this country has ever had. Let Dem
ocrats fully consider these proposi-
tions. Let them meet in convention,
and forgetting personal preferences
disregArding personal ambitions, re
membering only the traditions of the
party, the good and glory Of the Ma
tion, choose honest men, resoiute men,
men OF brains, nerve and unyielding
integrity as bearers of the standard.
Give the party this platform and trust
the reeult TO the people, always pat
riotie, honest, and eventually right.
