cratic party may chance TO split. IL IL only
by close union aud the strongest c1mbina-
ton OF effort that the party can have any

close at hand. Colonel Henry Watterson
imsgines himself supreme dictator, and
wants to shove Randall and his Penneylvs-
mia friends out OF the party ranks. But
the effort OF the versatile keDtucktpn

four hundred thousand democrats in the

LEFT To II People.
III state executive committee at Waco
referred the decision OF the two thirds rule
TO the people, and we are glad that 10 was
done so, as its decision r%ightiully belongs
to the people. Now let each county In
struct its delegates in what manner they
shall vote on this question, so that the
voice OF the people may be heard In the
matter. As the fundamental doctrine Of
the democracy is, that "the majority shall
rule as tina is the rule in all orr
elections, and as the two'thirds rule only
serves TO enable q minority to override
and control the majority, which represents
the wishes of a msjority of the rank and
file otthe democratic party. The Times has
go overwhelmingly against the two.thirds
rule. The ~abrogation OF this 1le by the
people themselves will be almost a death
blow to wire pullers and neutrality-suspicious.,
who combine 10 defeat the strongest csndi-
date before the convention, who Is the real
choice of the people, 30 IS to nominate q
dark horse."-t5 San Antonio Times.
PERSONAL POLITICS.
Personal politics thus destroy the idea
upon which popular government is founded.
