Two former presidential candidates,

I am unworthy OF such distinction,
and to the posthumous correspondence
Of these gentlemen would like 10 adQ

What IS a genuine Democrat
He is a man who loves and trusts
the people, follows revcrentlY IN the
footsteps of the great l'-d1ers ,'I nc
people, and continually and consistent
~ advocates the basic principles OF

innate Of the man and his manner OF
thought I am CJrOpCllod Q o c"uclUQe
that The distinguishing characters llcs
of Prof. Wilson are that ne hdDltua44y
distrusts the people, mas contlnu3lIy
deprecated such great popular leaders
as Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson
and has spent ntne-tenths or his IKE
in denOuncing the program and pTopa-
ganda OF popular government inst ne
new pretends to support
In my honest judgment, therefore
(Which Is the only thing that can guide
my actiOns), Mr.. Wilson is not Demo-
.'He. is not even a Republican He IS
a Federalist
a Democrat I say, is a man. who
sincerely believes in the essential JUS

But a Federalist IS a man who as
trusts the people and actually desires
to limit and restrict the peoples power
AT present no Federalist party ex-

lists exist

selves Republicans. but in sentiment
and sympathy they are edeI aI-sls

Prof. Wilson, in his History Of the
American People says Of Hamilton;
.. Hamilton was above all a states

ferred TO our immigrants from the
south of Europe as men OF the lowest
classes and men Of the meaner sort;
men out Of the ranks where there was
neither skill nor energy. nor any initi-
alive of quick Intelligence. They came
in numbers, which increased from year
to year as if the countries OF the south
OF Europe were disburdening them
selves Of the more sordid and hapless
elements OF their population
The Chinese were more to be de-
sired as WOrkingmen, If not as citi-
zens than most OF the coarse crew that
came crOwding in every year at the
eastern ports.
The unlikely fellows who came in
at our eastern ports were tolerated be-
cause they Usurped no place but the
very lowest in the scale Of labor.
