a OueaSided Look.

We are not going to support any man for q
position of trust and honor who is afraid of
the people and leagues with an oath-bound
organization to defeat the purposes OF the old
genuine, simonpure Democracy.
Ali along the line of this fight, those favor
ing the adoption of the revenue amendment
have been ostraeised in every possible way.
The ants have not stopped at making it a
political question, but have injected it into
the silken cords of friendship as WEI II as mat
tiers Of business relationship in many plac es.
By what claim the ants can hope for sue
cess, we cannot see. Surely it cannot be that
they want the white vote to sustain them, il
we are permitted to judge from past expert
ences. All sorts OF propositions have been
made to settle the question in a way to relieve
the Democratic party of its burdens through
the medium OF white primaries, but the antis
did not want that. They don't want anything
unless it is made aud moulded to order in a
casting box of left-handed morality-not one
made by the people Of this State, but by
those who have appointed themselves spon-
s0rs OF the pnblic.
1t is passing strange that the very men
who have held themselves up to the light of
all thai is moral, holy and above reproach
are those who were elected to Office by those
same people who are now so audaciouslY cor
rnpt-actually floating with rOttonness on
the suface OF a sinking pool owned and de-
odorizcd to snit by John A. Morris.
If the people are incapable and unworthy
to pass npor and decide questions OF political
economy, Or even the revenue amendment,
as the antis mako us believe, we would GER
family infer that they are also not the proper
ones tn g ect these same men to office. But
we do not sec any anti Office holder in the
