THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

from the st. Joseph Gazette goth
Inc Gazette is no advocate of blind
unreasonlng partisanship. While rec
oSniZlng the power and utility of organ.
lzatlon, and the necessity of men of like
principles and opinions combining to
give effect to their views, it has neye,
asked any man to yield his manhood and
abase himself in the smallest degree as
part OF mere party machine. The
party has duty to perform to its mem.
oers as well as the members to the par
". And the most important duty par
W has to do is to offer good and respec-
table candidates. Failing OF this and
onering incompetent, unworthy or dis
reputable men the obligation to sup
port them IS at once and absolutely can
ce!ed. 1t then follows, however, from
this position that when capable and rep.
utabie men are regularly offered by a
party as its candidates, it becomes the
duty OF the members Of that party to sup
port them. Obligations are mutual
and when one party has performed its
part, the other is morally bound. Not
parties only, but society itself rests up-
on this basis. and in tree country. can
rest on no other.

Gratis remember that no democratic jar

opposition be offered to the worthless
party now in power, except by
adhering to the nominees of the party
when they are regularly presented and
are reputable and capable men. The
