s..sbllcan and Democratic Politicians


he Examiner thinks that we talked
hout the vote when we lately said
. - the Democracy was not to be bossed
- It, gubernatorial selection, las were the
Republicans. Our contemporary con-
6odes that this is the Republican situa-
ticn and that the Democratic Is like unto
It.; and cites In illustration information
that It has received from Working
Democrat that there will be no cor.
MT for delegates in this county M they
have been agreed upon"
Our friend thinks that we evolve the
Democratic situation as we think 1t
bught to be and arc delighted with our
deal creations, concoctsd without the
Nd Of political caucusses and consulta-
klons and that If we knew how the
wOrkes were fixing things" we would
have sore blow dealt to our fancies.
But our neighbor errs. We tn nix that
we know all about the party worker and
his work ; and we know just how much
Is amounts to In the Democratic ranks |;
(which IL this that so long az 1t runs
With the current 1t runs well, but when
Z seeks to run contrariewise II is very
ept to be upset. 1t Is with this know
pdgs that We can safely predicate politi.
u moves from general view Of the
tuation; without troubling ourselves
realty to find out what IL being done
y the politicians.
The Democratic politician is edu-
pted by experience to mind what the
sty wants, and TO trim his
b accordingly. The Republican
lit,eisn 10 educated In the same
Aocl to inquire what the party bosses
INT and to obey their behest That IL
bread and butter. We maintain that
has always been otherwise on the
mocratic side, and that bosses are not
rated there. Plenty of men have
ID to play the role without success,
bn though they sought cunningly,
every device to conceal their hand.
IRE seldom has been one bold enough
proclaim himself boss in the Quay
hon, which was the Cameron fashion
10 Simon flourisbed. Such procla-
pon speedily ensures leaders,
zen neck. The Democratic party
demonstrated time and again In this
that 1t will stand no such treat
has always been astonishing to the
Ocratic understanding that the Re-
6eDp party spirit In the state is %
nigi 1t may be explained by the
1t 1t has been co-existent with the
