Surfing Words.

Tha New York Neps is net obnoxious to
hsseharge of being atime-seryef o. "poaicyo
monger. IF it has any distinctive feature, it
is that Of incorporating opposition to ev.
eryshing like what is Aippantiy called "po.
hey This by way Of preface to the follow
ing sterling words from the Ne,cs
"There may be periods when il would be
better to lose the triumph than to gain it by
receding from the strict line of principle
bat no,o, the polue Of democratic asceadancs
Is too great q. Justify any action that NIGH
proroke a dirision. Let us take into con.
sideration the condition of the south, and
ask ourselves if the great, the paramount
object is not to rescue that portion OF the
land from the tyranny whose heel is upon11f
and whose mailed hand is clasped upon the
essence of liberty. We should be as much
surprised as grieved TO see democrats split
ting hairs and balancing feather weights O
doctrine, while their eountrymen in the
southern states, oppressed and famine-strick
en-. trembling between hope and despair
are -anxiously looking northward for the sign
of their deliverance. Is it time to urge
perplexing theories, to threaten division, to
speak words of Encouragement and stir the
elements of strife and decentralization in the
democratic ranks? We appeal TO those
democrats who may have suffered wrong:
at the hands of party leaders, not to turf
the tide of democratic victory, and. as they
expect to be forgiven by their Heavenly
Father, forgive those who mayhav wronged
them, and save the republic"
Whoever now in the democratic party
seeks to SOW dissension in it, or TO occasion
lukewarmness that defeat many follow to it
is not only an enemy to the democratic par
ty, but he IS an enemy to the country.
