Democracy Selling Out the Farmers.

To long line of deception and fraud
in its past history the Democratic party
is now adding the tricks and impositions
it is practicing upon the farmers and
Changers. No sooner was that move
ment started than sharp, tricky local
demagogues, in accordance with wink
from prOmpters, behind the Democratic
scenes, made haste to get control of the
organizations. And so, from being a
dead weight to all progress, this old, rot
ten carcass of Democracy suddenly and
mysteriously transformed itself into a
party of reform If it would contine
its labors to reforming itself, the world
would say amen, and it would not be out
of work for good while to come. Going
from its acts in piling up large national
debt and hankrupting the Treasury in a
time of profound peace, when there was
no interest to pay on the debt created by
a Democratic rebellion, to its gigantic
frauds in New York City, to say nothing
of its Chicago Cages and lesser lights,
all at once it has set itself up as the model
party of honesty and purity, and claims
the right to 90 into the forefront of the
farmers movement
1t is surprising the farmers did not see
through lnlS lnln disguise Oh hypocrisy NJ
a glance and promptly repudiate their
protfered assistance. But generous, for
giving open and manly themselves, they
knew il was full time for the Democracy
to bring forth fruits meet for repentance,
and a few of the more hopeful were re-
ceived on probation. Democratic deceit
and dishonesty are dyed in the wool Of
that party, and il is useless to attempt TO
wash them out The experience OF the
farmers in their new relations with them
is overwhelming testimony on the subj ct.
II the election in Wisconsin last fall the
farmers were sold out body and soul to
the old Bourbon Democracy, as the result

The President and Texas.

The action of the President in the Tex
as difficulty has been universally satisfac-
tory. Even the Democratic and Liberal"
journals commend it. Fortunately the
facts are undisputed The Legislature of
Texas passed an election law 1t was APP
proved by Governor Davis and by all
parties, and an election was held in pur-
suance OF it, which resulted in large
Democratic majority. After the election
the Supreme Court of the State declared
the law to be unconstitutional, and there
upon the Governor issued a proclamation
warning the persons elected not to assume
their functions, and, supposing that they
would not heed him, he called upon the
President for troops. The President re-
piled:
The call is not made in accordance with the
Constitution Of the United States and the acts of
Congress under it, and cannot, therefore, he grant
ed. The act of the Legislature of Texas. provid-
ing for the recent election having received yonr
approval, and both political parties having made
nominations and having conducted "a political
campaign under its provisions, would ii not be
prudent as well as right to yield to the verdict of
the people as expressed by their ballo sy'
Governor Davis and his friends have
done what the Southern rebels did in
1860, They took part in an election, and
then refused to abide by the result
The action OF the President is character
istic. He is severely criticised for much
that he does, but he has never shown a
disposition 10 stretch or strain his consti-
tutional prerogatives. In the Louisiana
case he earnestly requested Congress to
act, and acted himself only when some
action was imperative. He has been ac-
cused of acting wrongly, but it can not be
truly said said that he showed any wish
to act at all, certainly none to act uncon.
stitutionally. In the present instance his
reply is full of quiet good sense, and dis
poses Of the subject. It has been said
that 1t is shocking to think that he might
have intertered and have set aside the
undoubted will of the PEOPLE of Texas.
But it is always possible for State court
to declare an election law uncOnstitution-
al, and for a Governor to hold with it and
appeal for help to Washington. If the
authorities there should act as requested,
the will of the people of State might be
set aside, But all this would be within
the forms of the Constitution, And it is
undeniable that government may be
overthrow under its own forms, as that
of the old republic of Rome was, and as
the rebels hoped to overthrow ours. The
security against such efforts is the virtue
and loyalty of the people, The Constitu
ton authorizes the Government to protect
State against rebellion upon the appli-
cation OF the Legislature, or of the Gov
ernor when the Legislature can not be
convened. Congress therefore must de
eide what is rebellion, and who rebels

Speaker of the Assembly is an old poli.i
cal demagogue flike stripe, and although
the farmers in that State went into the
contest to secure redress of railroad griev.
ances, it is now openly charged, and the
charge has strong evidence to support it.
that these Wisconsin Democrats, elected
by the votes of farmers, are the plant
tools of the railways and ran the campaign
last fall secretly in their interests. In
Iowa and ooer Western States, wherever
the farmers have joined hands with the
Democrats, they have most generally
been sold out in the some way And in
New Hampshire where the Democrats are
are working hard 10 secure help from the
farmers, it is openly charged by a leading
opposition paper which has more honesty
than is generally found in Democratic
journals, that Weston an old Bourbon,
was nominated for Governor by most
glaring fraud of railway combinations. If
the farmers will contrast this course of
the Democrats with what the Republicans
are doing in their behalf, they will not
have to look twice to see where their
friends are found, The United
States Senate Transportation Committee
will throw much light upon this subject
when its report is made, and its measures
and recommendations will doubtless do
great good. The Republic an Governor of
Illinois led off in recommending and
urging the adoption Of satisfactory meth
DDS of relief when the movement was
first started. Other Republican Cover
nors have taken similar action. The nom
nation of Farmer McCutchins in New
Hampshire shows that the Republicans
are in full sympathy with all needed re.
forms of this character. 1t may have been
very indiscreet thing for the Democrats
to show their cloven foot so soon, but we
it will be lesson our farmers es
pecially will not soon forget or fail to
fully improve. The extent to which they
have already been sold out is only an in
timation of what the Democrats would
do were they restored to complete power
in the Government, and ought to be sutli-
cient to put farmers and all others upon
their guard. albany EUening J0urnaI,
