A STAR OF HOPE!
The election of 1894, followed
ay a repemioa or ine use reamv
1895, demonstrates beyond cavil,
hat the people are dissatisfied -with.
but present rulers. In fact, almost
rer since the dose of the civil

States have shown an unrest and
satisfaction with the party in

three quarters of a million votes.
four years later, in 1876, Tilden's
pluraity over Hayes, was almost a
quarter of a million on the popular
rote. In 1880, .Garfield beat Han-
ck by over ten thousand votes.
it the next election, in loiJ4.
leveland received twenty-five
thousand more votes than Blaine.
1888, Harrison Teceived nearly
Irae hundred thousand more votes
than Cleveland; and in 1892, the
popular verdict was again reversed,
Cleveland beat Harrison by a
large vote. Each presidential elec
tion, for more than twenty years,
shows that the political pendulum
has swans regularly from 'one side
to the other, which to our mind, is
evidence that something is wrong,
and the people, in trying to better
their condition, have sought a
change at each opportunity. As
to the election of 1896, "we believe
we are "confronted with a condi
tion and not a theory." In brief,
the industrial and financial affairs
of the country are sick. The po
litical quacks who have been pre
scribing for the nation since 1873,
have simply been giving us slow
poison, and instead of getting bet
ter we .have been gradually sinking;
the only hope is not only in a
lange of doctors, but a radical

were, rejuvenated and more glorious
than ever,and be the means of con
ferring prosperity and happiness
upon ; Jllions of our countrymen.
The opportunity is with the party
next year; and we need but put forth
our hand and grasp the fruit. The
act is short and simple: it is, that
we declare our purpose to legislate,
and administer this government in
behalf of the great masses of the
people, instead of a favored class
of millionaires. Let us sound the

Let us put up for our standard
bearers, brave and patriotic men,
who" when elected will carry out
the wishes of the people. We have
such men in our party, and they
willserveus. The time has come
when we must act, if we would
save ourselves and posterity from
the degrading effect of the money
power.
We must place the right men. on
the right kind of a platform, re
gardless of their geographical loca
tion. The time k long passed when
we should fear to name a. candidate
for President from the South. The
bloody-shirt argument no longer
frightens, even a child. The peo
ple of the South are as loyal to the
interests of this country as the
people of the North or East.
We therefore name as our ticket
for the campaign of 1896:
For. President:
" JOHN T. MORGAN,
- OF ALABAMA.
- For Vice-President:
WILLIAM J. BRYAN,
OF NEBRASKA.
Place those mtn in nomination
upon a platform of principles simi
lar .to what we have hinted at, and
an avalanche of votes will carry
them to victory, by more than a
aillioa majerity. These men are
brainy, and patriotic, and as true to
the immortal principles of Je&noa
and Jackson, as any whose names
have graced the Democratic escutch

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 15, 1895.
J. F. Taylor, Esq., Salt Lake City:
Dear Friend. I had the pleasure
sometime ago, to receive a copy of
your paper, the Broad Ax, and
again today, when I received two
copies, and also two copies of the
Herald, for which I beg leave to
thank you very much. I read your
speech, "The New Democracy,"
with a great deal of interest, and
want to congratulate you in your
success as a speaker. It certainly
reads nice in cold type, and I am
only sorry I could not hare been
present to hear you. I must say
that I took a great deal of interest
in your first State'campaign, and
had every cenfidence you would
succeed, and am sorry you failed.
But Democracy k long lived, and
will, like Banquo's ghost, not down,
and you must win if you perse
vere. I have no newspaper at hand
which gives the vote of your new
State in detail, and you would
oblige me very much if you would
send one. Here, in New Fargo,
where many of the old-timers still
live, things generally ire moving
along very nicely. We are grow
ing steadily and substantially, and
we believe we have the best city in
the best county in the best State in
the best country on earth. Mr.
J. J. Bowers and M. A. Brewer,
both of whom you no doubt re
member well, only recently passed
to the great beyond, and we mourn
their loss very much. Little Dick
Tyler still loans money to hk par
ticular friends, and big Billy Allen
still charges $10 for thawing out a
frozen water pipe.
Some other time I may give you
something on politics and politi
cians here, which time will not per
mit now." Again thanking you for
your kindness, and wishing you
and Mrs. Taylor and the Demo
cracy of Utah success,
I am very truly yours,
C. H. Anheier.

Mr. J. F. Taylor:
Dear Friend. Received papers,
and was very much pleased to get .
them, and to be able to learn of
the political affairs in Utah. Your -
address was grand, and the com
ments upon it in the Herald was
very fine. Some of oar leading
lawyers here, say your address was
very good. So, again thanking
yoa, and with kind regards for
Mra. Taylor,
I remain your friend,
