willing to give over the control of
government to the monied interests
exclusively.
So far as the DEMOCRAT is con-
cerned, we hopesto see the party re
main democratic in principle as well
as in name. We are not in favor of
republicanizing the party by turning
it over to the trusts and monoplies,
to Wall Street and the boodlers, in
order to win the next president. We
would rather go to defeat with an
HONEST policy, than win on a policy
of commercialism.
Our faith is strong, however that
the St. Louis convention will take. no
backward step, but will stand for the
rights of the people, and nominate
a man who will command the support
of all good people.
