documents ever given to our public
outrivals the letter of acceptance over
the signature Of Judge Alton b. Par
ker, those two being the Declaration OF
independence and the Constitution OF
the United States. | might add that
there never was a document written in
this country by any man, dead or iiy-
ing, SO nearly conforming TO our Con-
~stitution as the one under discussion.
at is n new declaration of independ-
enee made by a wise, honest, whole
souled statesman for the party of the
people, 1t is firm, %outspoken and to
the point. arraigning the Republican
machine before the public bar in its
true colors, showing its standard bear
