The Democratic
Conclusion. party stands for
Democracy; the Re-
publican party has drawn to itself all
that is aristocratic and plutocratic.
The Democratic party is the cham
pion Of civil rights and opportunities
to all; the Republican party is the
party Of privilege and private monop-
oily. The Democratic party listens to
the voice OF the whole people and
gauges progress by the prosperity and
advancement Of the average man; the
Republican party is subservient to the
comparatively few who are the benef-
Charles OF governmental favoritism.
We invite the cooperation Of all, re-
CARELESS of previous political affilia-
ton or past differences. who desire to
preserve government of the people,
by the people and for the people and
who favor such an administration Of
the government as will insure, as far
as human wisdom can, that each citi-
zen shall draw from society q reward
commensurate with his contribution
to the welfare Of society.
