I have always taken an interest in elections and in the affairs of this Government. and all I ask is justice in this matter. During our campaign we distributed some sixty thousand copies of our "platform." add the two paragraphs that we dwelt most upon were these: Fourth. Should encourage home industries. make such liberal appropriations for internal improvements as shall meet all the industrial demands of the country and develop its resources. and so afford employment for otherwise unemployed labor. and should prohibit the importation or employment of all contract. convict. or pauper labor. Sixth. Should maintain and protect the purity and freedom of the ballot. and the rights and interests of citizenship at all times. in all places. and under all circumstances by tile whole power of the Government.
