dations of our constitutional systems

dom and patriotism of Democracy the
future of free government in America
may depend, 1t will be criminal TO split
hairs over a doctrinal difference, if
there be any, or to dogmatize upon the

have no place in any Democratic lexi-

They are springs to catch Republican

The Democratic party at Baltimore

that no Democrat can find a reason
for boiling against 1t. With such a
