The speech was loudly applauded- ons
of the significant notices borne in the
procession, which gives something of
the spirit of the occasion, was Rag mon

barbarism"
THE DIFFEREEcE.-Itis q noticeable
fact that the sections ofEhe country where
imitation seems popular. The DemocFacy
in convention declares in favor ofinfla-
tion, and where the people favor honest
money, the Democracy rresolTe" accord
ingly, Per Contra, the Republicans of the
country, in every section, advocates re-
turn to specie payment as soon as prac-
ticable.
If President Grant had attended the
races at Long Branch, every Democrat ic
paper from Maine to California, would
have noted the fact But be only attend
ed camp-meeting. and it Is safe to say
that no Democratic journal viii devote q
line to the visit Race-course reports
travel with the speed of lightning, while
camp-meeting ones seldom get beyond
the lips of the person who utters them.
This may be accounted for by the fact
that Democratic reporters are seldom
found at camp-meetings.
If the South ern States have failed to
become prosperous, the fault is not in
the measures Of reconstruction, but in the
people themselves. If Southern Demo-
crats had wo rked one half as earnestly
to help reconstruction as they have to
oppose it, peace, Sc curity, happiness and
prosperity, wou Id be fully possessed by
the South to-da y. 1t not too late 10
learn wisdom from the past. Let the in.
telligenoe and wealth of the Southern
States be spent in efforts TO build up, in
stead of tearing down, and the Centennial
year will see the South on the high road
of wealth.
We often hear Thomas Jefferson spo-
ken of as 'the father of Democra cY /"
This is true in one sense and false in an
other. Jeferson's party up to 1916 was
known as the Republican party. It was
SO called by Jefferson, known as such
among his followers. and was so styled
in all the party calls published during
that period. Therefore, correctly speak
ing, Jefferson was the father of the Re
publican party. The term Democracy,
was fixed upon Jeferson's party by its
opponents in order to create odium
against it. After Jeferson's time it be-
came popular name with the party and
was finally adopted by it.
From the best authority at hand, the
conclusion is that Senator Thurman's DO
sition in the approaching campaign will
be rather anomalous one. He does no t
feel at liberty to refuse to take the stump
and he does not care toldWarf himself BY
going in the face of his enunciated pm,
ciples. His disagreement with the plat
form of the party. It is said he will pro-
claim boldly-tbe financial heresy he will
away with-he viii have none oft, He
will have peculiar duty to perform, and
what the result Of such campaigning will
have among the voters, is the question.
Democracy is OF q plastic and accommo-
dating commodity. and there will be but
little discrimination brought into exer :
