We think J. L. Griffin is just
right in placing himself before
the people for their considera-
tion. We felt that our people
were likely to make a mistake
when they met here in March
and adjourned without making
provision to get the names of can-
didates before the public so as to
give them an opportunity to make
a selection. But if we had con-
tended for it we would have been
accused of selfish motives, to get
the announcement fees. Well,
we confess that we are not edit-
ing a paper for glory, for there
is no glory connected with it.
And while I desire to be, and will

principles in the management
of the paper, yet, as my sugar and

Now, I re erence the writer
and signers of this sublimely
grand doc&mmt for their intel-
igeuco, honor and patriotism.
Therefore in deference to those
making the inquiry I shall pro-
ceed to give to the public some
of the reason! why I quit the par-
ty called the lemocratic party. In
the first plain, will say that from
my point of .’iew there is not
one reason w ly it should be call-
ed “democraic. I hardly think
it even deserves the name demo-
crat party. If it has any princi-
ples at all th«y are at variance
with what th» fathers of demo-
cracy taught and coincide main-
ly with those taught by Hamil-
ton. The present party is not £s
democratic as Hamilton was; l'JV
he was a biroetalist. And thkt

“But when a long train of
abuses, and usurpations, pursu-
ing invaribly the same object,”
(the establishment of an aristo-
cratic oligarchy in our case)
“evinces a design to reduce them
under absolute despotism,” (al>-
solute slavery] “it is their right,
it is their duty, to throw off such
government,” [party] “and to
provide new guards for their fu-
ture security. Such has been
the patient sufferance of these
colonics” [these people] “and
such is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their
former systems of government.”
[To alter their former party affil-
iations.]
The history of the present ad
ministration is one of repeated
injuries and usurpations. All
having in direct object the en-
slavement of the great mass of
the people. Some of the facts
are in proof, to wit:
Your president has vetoed the
only law passed by yoiir repre-
cliallenge you to attempt it. The
mau that furnished the largest
amount to purchase votes has the
“cheif seat in your synagogue.”
Your admininistration makes
a contract with one Carneigie
and pays, by contract 1,900,000
for a certain amount of steel of
specified quality and then takes
your tax money and makes a gift
of $165,000 to this Same Carnei-
gie; the said Carneigie dos’nt-
comply with contract, swindles
the government, is detected and
is fined $450,000 by the proper
orthoritics; gets mud, sw’ears he
wont pay it, goes to your presi-
dent, and lie without authority
remits all the tine except $115,000
leaving this swindler $1,900,000
the contract'price and $20,000 of
the premium. Look at the in-
side of this matter and see where
the democracy comes in. Where
