Tho Champion Democrat

II troubles some Of the mugwumpian
members of the Democratic party very
much, that people will persist in regard
ing John l., sullivan as the true repre-
sentative OF the Arger element of the
party These Pharisaicnl individuals have
been pleased, in their imaginative way,
to invest the skeleton Of Democracy with
ideal tlrsh aud blood, aud TO ascribe to it
Utopian virtues. Like most cloud flyers
they have little patience with the great

The papers and citizens Of Massachu-
sets who are asking Of the Gubernatorial
candidates statement Of whether or not
they would veto specific measures in case
they should be passed by the legislature,
are engaged in decidedly childish business.
It Is satisfaction to see that thus far
neither Of the Candidates has given
specific answers to such uncalled for and
improper questions. such matters have
TO be passed upon by two co ordinate
branches Of the state government before
they come before the executive. Ii
would be An insulting aud uncalled for
reflection upon the efficiency and honesty
Of those two bodies to forestate the
action of the executive upon measures to
which both House and Senate must give
a prior consideration. II is "A satisfaction
to know that both of the Massachusetts,
candidates have thus far refused to make
any such foolish anti.election pledges.
