We think Democratic newspapers
make n gricvous mistake when, for the
purpose of favoring sono one particular
candidate, they sneor Mt or abuse an
other who does not happen TO receive
their present support. Besides. In case
the individual thus abused should re-
cciye the nomination MT ~. Louis. IL will
not be n pleasant task for the abtsers to
eat humble pic and change their tunes.
We have an abiding trust that the Dem
ocratio delegates will select tho very
best man TO be our standard bearer,
without regard to passion or prejudice.

There is one very unfavorable symp
tom for the Republicans in the Presi-
Dental preIiminaries. They are alb
sorbed in personal controversies. and
do not seem to be aware OF the fact that
the contest before them is one In which
they cannot win without the indepen-
dent vote. They seem to think they
can nominate any OF their prominent
politicians, and then, by sufficiently yio-
lent vocferation OF their war cries, by
the use of the Southern C0nfederacy,
Andersonville and other horrors, carry
the election. They are mistaken. The
election Is not to be won in this way
