| Justice and prudence will walk hand
IN hand, and peace will be restored be,
tween man and man throughout ou1
borders. He is sound, not sensational,
and with him as president we shall
have rest from turmoil so that pros
perlty may come again. The country
needs rest Honest enterprise and
honest toll need chance to attend
to their own business; and George
Gray is no meddler and can be happy
when he is not engaged in fight.
II we want industrial prosperity we
must establish and maintain Industrial
peace.
''This man has the temperament. the
love of justice, and the frmness Of
principle to correct abuses without dis
ordering and wrecking the affairs of
the people. He will brake the Jaws Of
the wicked and pluck the spoil out o.
their teeth; but he will know how to
destroy the beasts of prey without be-
laboring all Of the domestic animals
He will stop predatory wealth from
depredations without terrorizing honest
and Industrious wealth. He is pro-
gressive, not revolutionary, constitu-
tional, not autocratic, practical, not
visionary. -~e
George Gray is not only the man
best fitted to be president, but he is
also a Democrat we can most surely
elect president. He will be an accept
able candidate in every part of our
broad country. Surely he will be pc
cularly satisfactory to the people of
the southern states where we must
look for that ever-faithful body OF
electoral votes which constitutes the
back bone of our strength. His great
and successful fight in the senate
against the Force Bill opened the safe
pathway down which those states have
walked to shelter from the black storm
which threatened their civilization.
How reioited would southern men be
to see once more in the White House
a presi,ler: Who understands and ap-
preciatcs the southern mans point of
view!
LAS to the group of states on the
Atlantic Observation-Disclosures, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land and West Virginia-there is no
doubt that George Gray is far ana
away tie strongest candidate thaI can
be named. After all, those are the
states in which our great politica,
battle must be fought and won or lost
When did the Democratic party ever
come Within hailing distance of vic
tory Without carrying those states? 1t
would be Wanton recklessness to plan
campaign which abandoned the chance
of carrying those cltl-tine Democratic
states in tho delusive hope Of making
good the loss in other portions Of the
field.
