Straight Democracy.

There has been too much policy among
Democrats 10 the past, and to succeed the
party must now organize on a platform of
sound. unquestioned Democracy. plat
form embOdying the principles of Jackson,
Jefferson, Douglas and the great lights of
true Democracy. 1t is useless to fish for
favors among those who, while professedly
the opponents Of the Republican, party,
are its best allies, What Democrats must
do at once, is to throw aside everything
not strictly and unequlvocally Democratic
and work for success as Democrats. The
party is strong enough to succeed if the
proper effort is made. The experience of
the past should teach Democrats that it
is worse than folly to form alliances with
outside parties or movements. Such a
course always reacts and does more harm
than good. 1t were better to be beaten, if
the defeat is an honorable one, than to win
temporary success, by fusion with outside
cliques, soreheads and disappointed po-
litical leaders. Let there be no more
temporizing- a straight, square out
light on straight. Democratic principles.
We must organize and at once, too, as
Democrats, and in no other way. Under
the banner of straight Democracy we can
Observation-Disclosures we cannot. Let there
be no lodging in future, but straight
contest, on pure Democratic principles,
with true blue Democratic leaders to lead
the forces to victory.

The editors of Southern Illinois will

posed to favor readiustment of the Vir-
GINA state DEBT. sRaum is interested

as the most notorious newspaper beat on

The Philadelphia papers continue &c

from the Philadelphia road. 1t is no such
thing and they are determined not tC
have It. for Gen. Grant or anybody else
The Inquirer insists that President Scott
is continually improving; that be is at hi
office from 10 a. N. to p. u. every day,
and takes the same competent personal
supervision that he always did of the af-
fairs of the company. As a lift to the
Sherman buzz it is pretty clear that the
scheme for getting Grant out of the way
by putting him into SCOTS shoes was
miserable failure from the start.

Wednesday, November s. 1879.


The elections on Tuesday show that the
Democratic party must thoroughly re-or-
ganize, throw aside unwise leaders. stand
on an unequiyocal democratic platform
and contend for supremacy not as the ex-
ponents of men or sections, but as the
party Of the whole people. The law of
universal liberty. involving the right of all
to.be governed alike, with answering devo-
ton to that principle as above all else. The
outcome in New York has done no more
than relegate to private life Samual j. Til
den, and remove him from the presidential
field. When Lucius Robinson was nom
mated for governor by the Democracy and
John Kelly organized the Tammsny bolt
the friends of the former ridiculed the
strength of the detection and prophesied
that Kelly would not poll 10000 votes in
the state. But as the campaign advan-
ced, it became evident that Kelly was
wagiug most determined contest
and that he would muster larger follow
ing than was supposed to be possible,
Robinson was a good governor-perhaps
one of the best that New York ever bad,
but he was recognized as the Tilden NOM
inee, and as such had the enmity of Kelly
and the Tammany Hall democracy
erful agents which he could not overcome.
The returns so far, outside of New York
City are meagre, but it is generallyseon-
ceded that the entire Democratic state
ticket is elected with the exception OF
Robinson, The Republicans have achiev-
ed Fan empty victory, and so far as the
result IN 1880 is concerned have
not changed the status of New
York one iota. The empire
state is to-day as thoroughly Democratic
as ever, and in the presidential year will
be found in the Democratic column.
Then all side issues will be forgotten aud
with the Democrats united. the state will
roll up majority for the Democratic
nominee. Samuel j. Tilden is now out
of the contest-at least it so looks at pres
ent and some other Democrat who will be
acceptable 10 sthe New York Democracy
will be the candidate. Who that someone
is, it is not safe to venture a prediction
now, but it looks very much as if either
Hancock, Palmer, Davis or Hendricks
would be the standard bearer of the Dem
ocracy 10 1880.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-11-05

Already the Republican press. and
some professed Democratic newspapers,
are clamOrous for the repeal of the joint
resolution, the twenty-frst, passed by a
former Republican Congress, in regard TO
the reception of the electoral vote for
President and Vice President of the United
States, and .the counting of the same by
Congress. We say let it alone Tie Re-
publicans passed it for their benefit. and
profited by it. Let us fight ,hemwith their
own weapons.
