W,sHfNarON. Nav s." wonder what Wat
tsr,on will say has been a frequent remark OF Demo
cratic Representatives since the defeat of the Morris on
hill Under the caption. Treachery in the Party" Mr.
Watterson yesterday expressed his senIim9nts He
declares thar serious disaster has Ovcraken the Demo
cratic party" The Democrats who voted against The Dill
are renegade Democrats small guerrilla band" the
members o which serving not the people, but sub
sidized interests" 1t will not do any longer to plead
the past services Of Mr. Randall Mr. Eaton the same
plea was recently male by Mr. Eaton for
Benedict Arnold" "Thsy have caused q
breach IN the party, which is IA trreconcaole
as ii was unnecessary" Mt Water5on thinks they should
area dust their party rsltons Bit tAe cause Itself
has received no check" for trumpet has been sounded
that will never call retreat" and the day for ali COM
promises has ceased" Mr. Watterson continues:
The rejection Of the Morrison bill is, as far, as
~ the contest progresses. will assume the proper
tons OF crime. Instead OF a conservative ana
EN- resist for sweeping and radical reductions Postpone
rnen and delay simply serve 10 unity ta elements O re
form unite Tvs friends and give courage and determine
ton TO IA, The Democratic party to-day is IN
DISGRACE PLACED by an pGPubh as
pshed NOTHING To attempt 10 turn iasQe from tafln aGl
tstOn was folly; 10 suppose that the party ltseII
vii Tor moment submit TO the dcIaOn aud control O
handful OF Blsl-BaZOuks Is sheer lllOcy Inc caucus
aV not e ana TO control Messrs Eaton Converse and
Randall but an appeal lies from them 10 the National
Couven3ion and from the Convention TO the people.
Psy dispne as far as this Congress concerned has
been destroyed characterization ana lnsldIecioh I've
for moment tTiumphed. bur only FOR a moment The
people advance OF their leaders, as they VIII soon
discover.
The fruits OF last victory have been fr1tered away
but the National Convention must reorganZe the parl
punish dc eItors aud order towards TO the rear Inc
principle for which cOntending IS vltal-t is
pressing and demands attention. We could not thrust
II aside il would. Like BanquOs ghost. II viii not
down Democratic party is the party OF revenue re-
form or il L. nOdIng II leaders are net equal TO
their opportunities If they lack courage and determine
saOn IL they still doubling and hestatng we must
have change OF leaders, the party itself viii be as
Sfsorganizsd aud the Democratic majority
IN coutroi OF the House.
He declares that the Democratic party is irrevocaby
committed favor OF agitation and reduction of the
tariff and the agitation will go with renewed
ygor asia protest against the conspiracy which for
while prevents any relief to the people" He concludes
Thus is the fssne formed. We cannot retreat
n we would. We must go forward or we must
surrender II the people want protection, as MessrS.
Randall Eaton and Converse claim then they viii see
thai the Government given charge o. the Republican
party The Democratic party cannot be trusted 10 main
tain the protective system, which 1t has denounced as
masterpiece OF iniquity.
