Treading on Dangerous Ground.
Mem nhie Soimifar

There are two or three newspapers
in this State claiming to represent the
Democratic party as constitutionally
ordained organs, that are trying to re-
vive the defunct Railroad Commission
question, to the end that it may enter
prominently into the present cam
paign. Seriously, now, if these DEM
ocratic journals desire to endanger
the cause of Democracy, and compass
the defeat of the Democratic State
ticket, they only have to continue in
their course, but it is the duty of the
Scimitar, as an undertaking and I'M
disguised Democratic sentinel, to
notify these distinguished mouth
pieces of the Democracy, so to
speak, that the woods are full
Of orthodox Democrats who are
radically opposed to the theory that
the State Legislature can, by enact
ment, ignore vested rights in railroad
companies, or other organizations of
capital for the enhancement of private
interests and the promotion of public
enterprise. These Democrats will re-
pudiate at the ballot box any attempt
that may be made by few would-be
leaders to fasten such a pernicious
doctrine upon the Democratic party.
Moreover, the railroad men them
selves, from the highest to the lowest
in station, and numbering from twelve
to fifteen thousand voters in the State,
all of whom are Democrats, want to
support the Democratic tickets, State
and National, but will never consent
to have John III. Savage & Co. lord it
over them as legislatively appointed
bosses. To the gentlemen who con-
duct the newspapers to which we
have alluded, the Scimitar desires to
say: Beware, you are treading on

Is it not fact that if any of the
