HELP FOR THE RURAL DEMOCRATIC
PISS.

1nE Chicago Herald sensibly remarks;
A great many Office seekers are editors Of
democratic newspapers in small towns.
Providing they are men of good character
and are competent to perform the duties
of the positions to which they aspire, as
most of them are, they should be given a
respectable hearing.
The republican press in this country
has been made strong by the party taking
care of its rural editors. There has been
a premium on printing republican news
papers and they have multiplied and
prospered. Democratic weeklies have had
great difficulty in maintaining themselves.
Withsno patronage of any kind they have
dwindled in number until now there are
throughout the west three republican
weeklies to one. democratic. Wherever
there is postoffice paying anything there
is republican weekly. The assistance
of this great mass of newspapers has
been powerful in circulating campaign
material and in arouseing public interest
In return Ethey have been made rich by
office and patronage while their democrat"
ic competitors have starved.
If the democratic party would continue
in power it must do something toward
building up its rural press. The editor
