THAT the so-called Democracy of
Ohio has overreached itself and is
doomed TO overwhelming defeat in Oc-
tober, all men with any degree ofpolit-
ical sagacity and candor must see and
admit.
The nomination of Hoadly over that
veteran and sterling Democrat, Durbin
Ward. was gross blunder-a triumph
OF money-bags and trickery that many
honest Democrats will not forget nor
forgive.
The assault upon Senator Pendleten-
the Henry of Navarro of the Ohio De-
mocraey, whose white plume has waved
in front of the fight for twenty years
eliminating in the purchase outright of
delegates to the convention of his coun-
t,. and in other ways before unheard of
ia Ohio obtaining control of that con
vention, in order to fatally stab the dis
tinguished Senator at his home-may
properly be ranked as the most serious
plumbers or the series.
Then took at the picture of the vener-
able Thurman idol Of the Ohio De-
Eaocracy, "the nobfest Roman of them
all" as they have proudly termed him
. standing in convention of his party
and begging it to nominate his old
friend, Durbin Ward, for Governor.
The old time Democrats of that body
responded with alacrity to his appeal,
but they and their great leader went
down before the assault of the hoodlums
of the New Democracy" led by man
who oRly a few years before was one of
their bitterest antagonists.
For two decades or more not pOliti-
cal struggle in the state but these two
distinguished men have led their party
the latter, especially, the Moses of his
party. Now behold theml The former
hunted by sleuth hounds within his par
ty-a convention purchased outright, IN
ordtr Ia nominate men for the Legisla-
iura hostile to his reelection to the
Senate; the latter, venerable in the SER
vice OF his party and his cOuntry-by
his political opponents regarded the
greatest nan of his party organization
"a man whom in the past Democrats
were pro1d to foliow-as helpless in a
state convention of his. party as would
be the most obscure Democrat in the
state
This is the banquet Democrats who
have marched under the banners Of that
party, oftener in adVersty than other
wise, are invited to sit down to,-John
ny Mclean, with Pendleton's bloody
scalp dangling at his belt, and Hoadly
at the head of the table, while Thurman
and Durbin Ward lunch with the cooks.
That men who are Democrats from
principle and conviction should not rel
ish such a state Of affairs is not surpris-
ing, and that the self-constituted leaders
of the New Democracy" will feel the
full force of the dissent at the October
election is very plain.
