POINT WITH PRIDE"

Some years ago the Democratic press
and speakers delighted to qoute the
words point with PRIDE" with the pur-
pose of ridiculing their use by ..Repub-
! leans.
This was then the only answer to the
truth of history. The Republican party
had a history to which it could point
with pride. The Democratic party had
no such inheritance. As it could not
point with pride it adopted the tactics of
simply hooking at the Republicans
whenever they dared to say pointed with
pride
Now at last the Minnesota Democrats
have stolen the old Republican thunder
which once they so loudly ridiculed. The
Minnesota Democratic platform declares
that the party points with pride to the
fact that no jobbery taints the reign Of
Cleveland.
While in the pointing business it might
not be out of order to point the Democ-
racy 10 the terrible arraignment which
