the interests OF all the people without
favor or special privilege to any class
or individual.
One: Evils under the form of com

nation in the last few years are q
direct outcome of class legislation by
the Republican party comforting priv

evils thus cast upon them by this I'M

with the classes thus favored make il
absolutely impossible TO obtain relief

party not affording any relief from
these national evils, we have but &c
refer to their action in rejecting the
