a different thing
DEMOCRATIC PARTY PAST.
Some the modern democratic presses of this
state affect great deal of consistency in their
own course while they sec nothing but incon-
sistoncy in the course of their opponents.
The reason for so much harping on consis-
tency will be very obvious, after showing a
picture composed of materials of their own
manufacture We served up one of these
dishes for their precious paates some time
since and now propose to give them another
We ask the special attention of all candid
mon who yet cling to that party calling itself
democratic and ask Thorn if there is anything
left Of it save the bare name.
In 1919, the then democratic party of this
state passed resolutions against slavery OK

At this time the democracy of Windsor
County were supporting for State Senators
such men as Sumner A. Wcbber. of Rochcs-
ter, Jonathan Kinney of Royalton, Gov.
Fletcher of Proctorsvllc. and w NJ Pin

but was true 90 bis anti-slavcry principle,
while he lived. All the others to-day are
true to the faith they embraced by the de-
m0cracy. One of them is now governor of
this State, Mr. Pngrcy is state auditor. and
Nh Wc5bcr was the representative from his
town last year Both of the two last named
gentlemen were democrats of the republican

very then and are now. Who has changed

the secretaries, they must be authentic Now
we want 70 give % specimen from the DEMO-
CRATIC platform Then adopted and endorsed
by the democratic party and by the editor OF
the Age. All We democrats of modern DAYS ,
