mission 10 perform in the history Of
mankind. excepting that OF 1776. Every
beneficial law on the statute books OF
the country today has been placed
there by this great party. During the
50 years the American people have had
absolute confidence in the heads OF the
OF four years or the administration OF
Grover Cleveland. when the Democratic
party controlled Congress.
