WHY THEY ARE DEMOCRATS. Gct on
At the democratic county convention,
tbo 7tb, tbo ring leaders completely
gave themselves away. They called for
speeches from their candidates (or the
legislature a little too pievious, i. v. lo
fore they cot the nomination, a' point
tlio slated candidates perceived and
tried to parry off by calling tho attention
of tho convention to that fact. Sir.
Leonard stated it was not in order to
speak to a question before it camo he
fore tho house. "It was," ho said "a
little previous." Mr. Chancy also saw
the impropriety and rebuked the con
vention for calling on him at such a
juncture for a speech. But these gentle
men were nominated as s-hited all the
same, nnd then they had to make their
little spesches in behalf of their party,
They aro democrats because their fatti
ers and grandfathers were. That was
reason enough and the convention gave
a hearty amen approval. Such reasons
veru convincing to democrat, it was all
the reason they could give, it was all
they knew. "The robber tariff,"
"bloated bondholders," "iniquitous sur
plus," "free trade," "the tramp," "the
taxed dinner pail," etc., which wero
the burthen oi their spscches in 1S92,
formed no place in their hearts. They
are democrats becauee their fathers
were. That is reason enough for them
and the convention accepted as ortho
dox and admitted them to tho "holy of
holies." They are now sanctified.
Truth Will Triumph.
It is gratifying to know thai a
stand taken for the right and persist
ently adhened to will ultimately pre
vail. Twenty years ago, the editor of
this paper, though then not connected
with any newspaper, took the position
that the state hid no right to appropri
ate money for educational puposes ex
cept for our public scho.ls. For dating
to oppo-e aa appropriation of money to
aid tlic Agricultural College at Coryallis,
he was denounced as "opposed to educa
tion." Since then , at divers times, we have
opposed by pen and speech all such
appropriations. Now we are pleased to
know Hut all over the state, the press is
raising its voice against snch appropri
ations, acd that the several political
parties have almost unanimously de
clared by resolutions condemnatory cf,
and have instructed the members who
shall be elected to the legislature to op
pose these appropriations. We ae not
to egotistical as to claim that this change
of sentiment has been broujht about by
our feeble efforts, though we gave our
mite, but mention it, to show we were
opposed to these unjust appropriations
twenty yeara before the pabHc mind
became aroused to its injustice, and aie
now demanding that this abuse of pow
er b discontinued. The world moves.
The Uuth is, the issue tetween the two
parties was made up when the dexo
cratic tariff policy went into effect,
which was before the Wilson bill wa3 so
much as framed. Nothing can divert
the popular attention and purj-ose. The
American people are folly resoHed that
the tariffissne must be met and settled.
All else is secondary. Of coerce the
platform will tench cn many things, but
however much the democrats and a few
republicans may attempt to subordinate
the great question it will remain para
mount: The time has now come when
the American people propose to give such
emphatic indorsement to the American
doctrine of protection that it would be
political madness fcr the democratic
party to persist in its animosity to the
indcstrial and business interests of the
country. Inter Ocean.
The Keview like a drowning man
catching at straws, has eeiied upon A.
P. Aiira to save its sinking party. It is
continually burthening its columns with
inane twaddle about it. It rages Hie a
mad bull at a red rag in a Spanish bull
fight, and charges npon this imaginary
ioo as did Hancho Panza upon a wind
mill. The truth is the Review's party
is honeycombed with rottenness and its
members are leaving it as do rats from a
barnins ba'rn. The Review'd only hope
of keeping up its party organization
is in shaking the red rag, A. P. A., in
the face of lie maddened followers.
The people of this country believe in
tarltt. .Not tbe sort of tariff defined in
the Wilson bill, but in a tariff that will
seivc two purposes, one to afford the
government, not necessarily an cnor
inous and perhaps an unweildy surplus,
but revenue sufficient to pav running
expenses and to aid in reduringthe pub
lic debt, and one that shall honestlv nro
tect the honest labor of the true Amer
ican workingman and the induslrv
that gives him employment, such a tar
iff as only tho rebublican party favcra.
is competent to enact at its earliest op
portunity' which will come soon.
With our factories again set in motion
under a more thorough system of pro
tective tariff, with increased revenues
for the treasury to maintain the govern
ment credit and a sound currencv and
with the restoration of tho reciprocity
treaties, the people of the United States
will enter upon an era of great proj
perity. Burlington Ilawkoye.
