"The democracy advances 10 fight
anew the battle against centrallsm and
corruption, to which IL was first led by
Thomas Jefferson In the nation and by
George Clinton In the State Of New
York.
"The equilibrium Of the whole polit-
ical system is in danger Of being over
thrown and q despotic and corrupt
centralism established. foiglf a.f
"The creed Of the democratic party
Is comprised of two ideas: First, to linn
1t as much as possible governmental
power, enlarging always and every
where the domain of Individual judg-
ment and action; secondly, to throw
back the governmental powers neces-
sary to be exercised as much as possible
upon the states and the localities, ap-
preaching in every case the individuals
to be affected.
~These ideas dominate over the Dem
ocratic party and find in 1t their best
representatives. The opposite ideas
to meddle with everything belonging
TO the individual, and to centralize all
governmental powers, express the ten
dencies of the Republican party.
"Under this Inspiration the federal
government is rapidly seizing upon all
the powers Of human society. 1t has
assumed to regulate the sufferage and
threatens to take control Of all elec-
tions. 80 tartHf ..ttgH
"I oppose centralism because 1t Is in
compatible with civil liberty. '-
"Ioppose centralism because it Gre
ates an irresponsible power, and an ir-
responsible power is always corrupt. A
government ruling all the affairs Of in
dividuals and localities from the At
lantic to the Pacific. from the great
lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, would be
the most incompetent for what 1t would
undertake, the most oppressive, the
most irresponsible, and the most cor
rupt government of which history
affords any example,.
And now in your name and In the
name of the voters we represent, we de.
clare that in the great work we will
take no step backward. Come veal OF
come woe, we will not lower our flag
We will go forward until a political
revolution shall be worked out, and the
principles of jefferson and jackson
shall rule in the administration Of the
federal government" f.:,l4 .-,r

The Largest Girder Ever Made.

The Keystone Bridge company, of
Pittsburg, Pa, has just completed a
girder for the new city hall of San Fran
cisco which is the largest ever made in
the United States, so far as the firm
knows. 1t is 105 feet long and weighs 70
tons. A contract for two girders was
given the company last November, and
they have been working on it ever since.
The materials for the second one are
now being prepared. The girders are
intended for the ground floor Of the
building. The great problem now is to
transport it to the Pacific coast The
Chicago and Northwestern and Union
Pacific roads have undertaken the job.
The long monster is loaded ON three of
the largest freight cars obtainable.-

There are many boarding houses. In

a school is boarding house. And there
are dormitories over the various educa-

circled, balconied, pillared structure,
overlooking the lake, notably clean,
roomy and comfortable. .,

The Duke of Edinburgh thrifty soulD
went all the way from London to Edin-

and after his return he sent in a bill of
expenses for the exhibition people to
pay. Among other items was charge
of 81 600 for special train, whereupon
it was demonstrated that the duke did
not travel in q special train. ''That's

A Popular Aristocratio Club.

According to the latest club book Of
the Union club the waiting list numbers
nearly $50, and less than forty vacancies
occurred within the past year. The limit
Of 1900 was reached during that period,
and the waiting list was reduced by
about eighty. If vacancies continue to
occur at the average of the past two
years it will take exactly nine years to
elect the present waiting list, unless
some die off or get tired of standing in
line.-New York Sun.

1t taxes them night and day, wet or

The Republican party is welded to
Wall street, and stands ready at all
times to extend its sharks the aid of the
U, s. Treasury. Ittakes the money of
the people to prepay interest on the
bonds held by the millionaires of New
York. The pretense is relief for the
people. The Government collects these
millions in taxes from the people many
mouths before the need arises, thus
depriving the people of the use of the
money in the mean while. This pro-
duces stress and threatens danger. To
relive the stress and avert the danger
the Government then hands over the
money to the bondholders and permits
them, instead of the people, to have the
use of it In business and to pocket its
earnings during the months of wait
ing. 1t is the people who prepay this
interest. The people lose the use of the
money and the profit arising from its
use, and the bondholders gain both.
