as follows
Fellow democrats: As the repre-
sentatives of the democratic party we
are once more gathered to renew our
faith and allegiance to the principles
of the great party Of the people and
I am happy to say, to rejoice in its
triumphs and achievements. we are
also gathered for the purpose OF piac-
ing m nomination the winning eandi-
dates for representative in congress
and for member of the corporation
at the forthcoming cleo
ton to be held on the Bird of Novem-
her.
Some people might be curious to
know upon what grounds we base such
a positive assertion; but, my friends
there Is no mystery connected with
the predictions; the answer is very
simple and logical: our candidates VIII
win because the party has Kept the
faith and II deserves to win for having
kept the faith.
