 Dear NIr Mack
 In my opinion there nrc two issues be tried at the approaching prosi- ntial election which in my mind take Eeecdonce of all others
 The first is the paramount import lee of organizing without farther de- y tho democratic party go that if all become as effective an opposition it was under Tlden, Tho second Is secure tho spccdiest possible deliver bee of our country from domoraliz- g tariff npon imports.
 No man hae been born who ever be- me fl 70 he trusted with absolute wer Neither can any party or body men he trusted long f at all with solutc power without abusing it The publican party has now been prarti- lly thc controlling political party in is country for fifty years less one. | ad not say how much lt has abused bt power, because with the absence an opposition party f. was lnnossi- not to abuse it.
 The most disastrous fruit of tho pro- lecd power of the republican dynasty nuest ionahlv is its deliberate and sstcut war upon our foreign com- rec its constant increase of tariff rIctloas unon imports
