Our Opportunity to Restore Honest Government
The Democratic party faces its best chance to vindicate itself as the party of the people. The Republicans rose under propitious conditions, gaining power through prior Democratic rule, and war brought untold horrors. After the war Democrats returned to civil life, not highly active, allowing Republican governance to prevail. A potential union of Democratic forces now seems possible to defend constitutional government. With wise counsel and a united front, Grant and his followers can be routed using honorable means. Invite all creeds to join in eradicating corruption and bribe talk to lift the country from misrule.
