THE CALL TO DEMoCRAIa
oneo Again Samuel j. TiIden Speaks from
tho Grave.

Onoe Again Samuel j. TIIden Speaks from
FFsp. BI Speech at Syracuse Accepting the Democratic
Nomination Jor Governor.
These tendencies must be stopped, or before
We know It the whole character OF our govern
mont will be changed; the simple and free in
situations OF our fathers will not only have be-
oopAo the worst Government that has ever
ruled over civilized people, but IT will also be
the most ignorant. A distinguished Republic
can tstatesman-I mean Senator ConklinR-
lately told mo that moro than five thousand
bills were before Congress at its last session.
In little time, as we arc now going on. there
will be twenty Thousand. Nobody can know
what is in them.
We have country eighteen times as large
as France. with q population OF forty-three
millions. doubling every thirty years. and full
OF activities and interests. A centralized Gov
eminent. modelling with everything and at
tempting to manage everything. could not
know the wants or wishes OF tho people OF the
localities: It would be felt only in It's blundcrs
and its wrongs. 1t would DO the most ire
sponsible. and therefore not only the most or-
pressive, but also the most corrupt with which
any people have been cursed.
Thoughtful men arc turning their minds to
the means OF escape from these overshadow-
ing evils Tho Republican party cannot save
the country. Ideas OF governmental medding
and centralism dominate It. A change Of mon
Is necessary to secure q change of measures.
The Democracy. with the traditions Of its best
days, will form the nucleus OF the opposition.
1t embraces vastly the larger body OF men Of
sound ideas and sound practices in political
liie 1t must romove every faint which has
touched 1t in owl times Unjust become COM
pact and homogeneous mass 1t must gather
to Its alliance all who think the Same things
concerning tho interests OF our republic.
And now, In your name and In the name OF
Eve hundred thousand voters we represent
we declare that in this Rroat work We will
tread no step backward. Como veal or como

Tho Issue, Now and Ever.

One thing Is certain, the surplus has gone
to sheol.
AS the Hon. THOMAS GRIFFIN CARLISLE
truly remarks, it Is q condition and not
theory that confronts us.
The temporary surplus has not disap-
peared because the present tariff schedules
are bad, or unphilosophical or undemocratic.
Changing the tariff arrangements. lowering
duties here and there, putting this article
or that article upon the free list, will not re-
move the source of evil, or restore the stu
alton In which the Governments revenue
exceeds its expenditures.
The trouble lies deeper than the tariff
schedules, and the service which the Democ-
racy is called upon to perform In the cause
OF honest American government Is OF
radical character. There is waste and ex-
travagance at Washington because the party
in control iS tho party OF centralism, OF
paternal government Of constant and costly
meddling with affairs that belong under our
system to the localities and to private en-
terprise. The money pOurs out Of the Treas
ury through thousand channels Of ex-
penditure that were never dreamed OF by
the founders of tho republic.
We print above this q third lesson to the
Democrats Of to-day, taken from that Won
derful text book of true Democratic princi-
pies which SAMUEL j. TILDEN LETT as pre-
cious legacy. Uttered at an earlier crisis in the
everlastngl struggle between the right and
the wrong theory Of American government,
the words OF Mr.. TILDEN arc as true now rs
they were then. They seem almost pro-
phetic In their application to the circum-
stances Of the present political situation; and
no Democrat can read them without being
refreshed and strengthened.
On the one hand Capitalization, extrava-
gance, corruption, usurpation and oppres-
eion and behind the bayonets the Man on
Horseback emerging from the shadow OF
the empire. On the other hand the per-
petuity Of our institutions, the preservation
OF the liberty of the citizen and tho rights
OF his State Government, the strict limita-
ton Of Federal power to the few and simple
functions committed to 1t by the Constitu-
ton, the honest and economical exercise of
Federal authority in its restricted field: IN
short, Democratic government as under
stood by JEFFERSON and TILDEN.
Tho Republican party stands on ono side
and the Democracy on the other. There Is
no other issue.

A Stair Builder on Cellar Democrats

Col JOHN Il. VooRHIs, tho veteran Demo-
crat, is quoted as having declared at a public
meeting the other night that those Demo-
Gratis OF his immediate neighborhood who
have ceased TO follow his political guidance
were cellar Democrats, meeting under
ground, and unworthy of consideration"
II Is extremely unlikely that politician of
knowledge experience, and IA sense of fitness
would make use Of epithGts like these in ro-
ferring to his Democratic neighbOrs. Col.
VooRHIs is undoubtedly aware that some of
the most important political movements in
our time have originated In cellars. Thus,
the ancient and influential organization Of
Tammany Hall, with which Of late he has
affiliated, transactS its important business
In n cellar. 1t was from this cellar in Four
tecnth street that Il long limo Of Democratic
nominees were chosen or agreed upon: SEY-
MOUR for President in 1868, HERMAN for Gov
ernOr in 1872, TILDES for Governor in lS74
and for President in 1876, and GRANT for
Mayor in 1855 Certainly Col NooRHIs would
DO reluctant to declare that the gathering
place OF Tammany's leaders during the past
twenty-five years is unsuitable or ill-chosen,
and that unsatisfactory results have at
tended its use
Nor is Tammauy tho only Democratic
Organization which believes in bedrock and
not in aerial meeting places. Tho County

FORAKER were not to BIO It's temporary Chair

to which he will take advantage OF that

Not n Large Party.

Some OF our most esteemed contempor-
aries have been discussing the question
whether Bishop POTTER is pessimist. 1t
grows out OF his recent speech at Harvard
College, when he denounced so freely and
with such careful rhetoric the alleged de-
cadence and decay OF American politics and
American statesmen.
In the strict, literal sense of the word 1t
may be true that the learned and godly
Bishop is pessimist. He appears to in
cline to the conclusion that this country Is
going to the devil; and that is rather a
conclusion OF pessimism. But that Is not
the real point OF the question, and 1t is not
for tho sake OF proving this point that the
Bishop speaks.
The supreme evil and the GROWING dam
ger in the view Of the peculiar school
of public philosophers and politicians to
which the Bishop seems to belong, is that
this country is governed by universal SUI
frage and Is a democratic country. In the
old days, that are thought to have been SO
superior, the days OF WASHINGTON, HAMIL-
TON, and JOHN JAY, 1t was not so. Then no
citizen voted who did not possess certain
qualifications which differentiated him from
the common crowd Of men; and. II we
could only get back to that blessed condl-
ton, the Bishops next Phi Beta Kappa
grafton might be Of more cheerful and
hopeful nature.
There is considerable party in this coun-
try whose fundamental political dogma Is
the necessity of destroying universal suf-
fragc and to this party the Bishop belongs.
1t is not n largo party. but 1t has wealth
and responsibility. and the ordinary name
Of its followers is Mugwumps.
