order to keep the old adherents with thei


knowing that many of them never kut
what really constituted the party, SO far


principle was concerned and only follow,
by name, and will still do SO. But IL
, party in reality will come to the front, an


stand in the peoples shoes. And now
the so-called Democratic party, is in realit
the old time honored Democracy, let HI
give us an open manly platform of prime
pie guaranteeing in unmistakabls and ur


equivocal terms a complete reversal, al


repeal of all those obnoxious acts of th


Republican party, The pernicious effecti


of which "Undercurrent' 50 justly and rel


sonably complains, assuring the people G


a stable, inflexble currency, to be issueC


and backed by the government. To d.


which she has the unmistakable col


stitutional right, let it be of golt


or silver or paper. With which they
will pay off the entire bonded debt o1


the nation, which the Republican party ha

the people sufficient money to move tn


commerce and enterprises of the country


relieving them of this enormous debt Of
interest pouring continually from their hard


earnings into the pockets of idle, untaxed


bondholders, thereby enabling all men to


accumulate by their industry and genius


alike. In word, do away with all class
legislation, and give each and every man,


woman and child, north, south, east and
west, an equal chance, and then the Dem
ocratic party may safely calculate on all OF
its old adherents acting with lit. But if
they continue to turn deaf ear to the SEN
timents of the people, and refuse their just
demands, and elevate and endeavor to ele-
vate to the highest and most responsible
offices within the gift of the nation such
back pay, hard pan, bondholing millienaires
as Messrs. Randall, Tilden, Belmont, How
EFT and others of like proportions, they
may rest assured that the reading, thinking
portion of the oppressed will eventually
leave them and go to truly Democratic
party that promises relief to the people and
protection to the oppressed from the grasp
of q relentless, heartless moneyed aristoc-
racy. The Democratic party may rest as
sured that the thinking part of the people
are investigating this gigantic system of
wholesale swindling, and with the examples
and effects of the greenback dollars during
the war; then with the paper money of
France, and now of Russia before their
eyes, they are bound, even the dullest of
them, sooner or later to see the falacy of
metallic base in the Golfers of bloated, heart
less nIllionaires for a national currency,
ins.9ad of the nations wealth, in which the
most humble subject is interested to the ex-
tent of all he or she is worth, be it little or
much. And all the subsidized presses in
America cannot cause them to submit
much longer to the egregious wrongs they
ire bearing from such system, and then
sntail tho same upon their offspring for all
lime to come.


1 candidly think that am as loath to give
Up my old party affiliations as any man
ought to be, but now let mo say to them in
Ill candor, the simple name of Democrat, |
Without the principles, will not hold her
ogether much longer, and unless she drops
he bloated, egotistic, heartless money lords
s tho special objects of her care, and
ONES at once to the aid and relief of the
uffering masses, she certainly will and
ught to sink to rise no more, and all press
8 not subsidized, and men not under pay
rom the money lords that now rule both
he old parties entirely to their own interest
nd to the utter ruin and ensavement of
he laboring masses, will do well to leave
be sinking hulk at once, and go to a party
t least that promises relief and protec-
on. PEEP.
