Mr.. grownson ia one Of the most promi'
men, mcrabers Of the democratic party, and the
wings have no right to say that The picture
which he gives is everdrawn. Mr. Calhoun
was al Inc same opinion when he said that

many of the country were of'he same op'n,o"
in 1910, when they rejected Martin Van Ba-

in tho footsteps Of his illustrious predeces-

confidence in the testimony Of these dlstinE
yuished democrats or not, will be again deci-
dad in 1914. The following 10 the extract
from the Democratic Review:
"They 1.-THE leaders Of The Democratic

ye shall be the cogs and wheels, a motive

protestations of love for tho dear people,
and their m~addening shouts for democracy.

In another part of his article on the Origin
and Form of Government, in the same Reviews
the writer observes: "#
The aristocrat with us no longer seeks to
rain his ends by making open war on the
people and laboring to arrest the popular
tendency but by Ginning in with the pc.
pular feeling and exaggerating the popular
tendency. Satan. when he has an object
to gain always DISCUSSES himself as an an
gel Of light so your aristocrat comes TO
YOU, IN these days and in this country, al.
WAYS disguised as IN ultra democrat. No
man has so much confidence in the people ;
no man has 40 deep. % ardent a love for
the hard. handed and snnburnt. faced many;
none so ready and willing to defer 10 the
wishes, the opinions. the instincts, the will
of the masses. He has no interest, no
opinion, no will ofhis own ; he is one of
the people, and knows only IN thing. TO
serve the people by merging his feelings,
wishes. interest and convictions in theirs.
Find a man who so processes. and Won
find one you may set down TO be Satan at.
tempting to disguise himself as an angel
of light. Every such man is at heart the
enemy ofdemocracy, the enemy Of the
people only that he may use them for his
" profit. The young, the ingenious,
the inexperienced, should be on their
guard against these wolves in Sleeps
clothing, and not through their deceit be
led TO take up doctrines as democratic
which cannot fail, if persisted in, one day
to prove the total overthrow Of democracy
and civil freedom, and both public and pri.
vate prosperity.
