WINGED that the article called democracy
does not lose its identity by change OF
place or climate; the same thread of ras
cality is woven into the fabric wherever
it is produced There appears TO be 8
difference in the magnitude of the blundcrs
and grabs. but the same spirit" In one
case person may be a looker-on, in
another he may be sharer in the suffer
ing. To those in your city who have for
the past few wears been able to view the
Democratic method with pleasure, have
/ no word of sympathy to express but
have the feeling of a fellowsuffcrer for
those who have all the while striven to
avert the evil. 1t is 10 be hoped that in
YOUR case there may be wisdom to Keep the
control in better hands With us no such
hope can have much OF a foundation. We
| are hopclcssly under the democratic CON
| troll, and consequently subject to robbery.
| We expect nothing else OF the party,
| whether it be in this city, the state affairs,
! or the nation. 1t is fact that cannot be

no such party or governmental action can
b. charged To the Republican party. When
coming into power after season of un-
fortunate experience under democratic
management. republican governments OF
cities and states have been obliged to con
tinuc Cumbersome taxes in order to pro
tide for debts contracted under previous
