Minority Rule.

Editor Of Waterman Are we to be gov
erned by the minority? 1t looks as though
the democratic party was contemplating
ruling this country on such plan. Such a
plan is developing very rapidly. The
scheme was started in the black belt in the
South. The kuklux and rifle clubs terror
lied the voters until the election machinery
passed into the hands of the democrats, and
then il was a very easy matter to count the
returns as they saw fit, no matter who had
the majority. If the fraud was too glazing,
there was some scheme devised like the
one in Smalls district in South Carolina,
throwing out the republican vote on the
slight technicality of a sixteenth of an inch
in length OF the ballots. Nearly every
democratic state is distroted for members
of congress in the most outrageous manner
conceivable, so that 1t would be utterly i'm
possible to elect even one republican con
gresham, as in the case of Mississippi,
Arkansas, Indiana-where the republicans
are hemmed into one district-New Jersey
districted so unevenly as to make differ
ence of 10000 in the population by dis
tricts the Michigan scheme TO choose the
electoral college by districts. Not content
with these outrageous schemes, they try TO
defeat the will of the majority in congress
by kicking down the doors, threatening the
speaker with violence, using contemptuous
language and playing hide and seek to
break quorum. This outrageous business
was contemplated and boosted of before the
last congress came into power, and they
partially succeeded in that wonderfully dig
nfied body, the senate All this time the
democratic press was shouting, Z" Ear Reed F"
because his rulings made it possible to legis-
late, though not in accordance with this
democratic idea.
But we hear it spouted through the press
and on the stump, in congress and every
where, that this democratic Darty is the peo-
pies party and that it is the great friend of
the masses. But IL seems that the people
at large are not to be trusted quite yet TO
say who shall be their rulers and how they
shall be governed, unless they vote for these
democratic reformers. We heard nothing
Of Ear" Cleveland when he defied the
will of the majority and vetoed some four
teen hundred bills. That great and good
man Cleveland is held out as the one great
democrat. AS to those democratic soldiers
that shout themselves hoarse even when his
name is mentioned and are living of of the

pallot-box suffers, gerrymanderers and SOL
der haters, then climb back to the top rail
ana shout reform and cry for retrenchment
by cutting down pensions, shouting in sea-
son and out OF season against the " extrava-
gance OF the republicans in granting PEN
sions, as Governor Russell did but a few
days ago. And still many democratic
friends will go on supporting the demo-
cratic party to the extent probably, of elect
ing one OF these extreme southern men for
speaker OF the next house of Representa-
lives Mills of Texas or Crisp of Georgia.
Then the machinery of the government will
be placed in the hands of the minority as
completely as it was before the war. The
minority has just as full power not to do as
it could wish, as laws amount to nothing
without the money to back them up. Then
the country Is virtually under the minority
rule. s. BANIsTRR, Warren, vt.
