THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
BALTIMORE CONVENTION,

No National Convention of the
Democratic party which has assem-
bled in this country in the last half
century, had upon it the responsible
tiles which will rest upon the conven-
ton which meets in Baltimore next
week.
This weighty responsibility largely
grows out of the fact, that such an
opportunity a. il now before the
Democratic party, to elect it, Presi-
dent, has not existed since the Civil
War. And it is such an opportunity
as must not be thwarted by any blum
der upon the part of the Convention.
There has been for several years
past decided unrest among the peo-
pie, in regard to the administration
OF our affairs by the Republican
party. This condition of dissatisfac-
ton showed itself in the past Con-
gressional election, and gave to the
Democrats the control of the House
of Representatives. Some of the
strongest and most constant Republi-
can states were swung into the Dem
ocratic column at that election.
Then there never has been a time
in the history Of the Republican
party, when it has been % torn and
disrupted. 80 that the Republicans,
with their internal dissentions and
with their external weaknesses, are
in poor condition to enter a Presi-
Dental campaign, and will 60 before

On the other hand, the Democratic

with its hosts buoyant. hopeful and

who, if nominated, would lead them
to victory. Now comes the response

SOME BATTLE CRIES FOR THE
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.

Revise the tariff downward and re-
wise the rights of the people upward.
No war on vested rights, but war to
the death on vested wrongs.
Millions fcr defense OF popular soy
ereignty, but not one cent Of tribute
to the trusts.
All men are born free and equal
before the law, and the Democratic
party will restore birthright of
which the people have been deprived
by a partnership between Republi-
canism and special interests.
The tariff il the mother or monop-
olies and quarters a tax collector in
every household.
If the people are to have a square
deal, we must have square dealer,
and that can never be while Repub-
lican Congressman stack the cards

dents suspend the laws for their

Safe at home fOrevermOre
Meet where no farewells are spoken
On that happy golden shore.

OF my dear niece Nellie.
