The Democrats of Charleston. 5. C..
seem to be getting together, and look
ing at the general scramble from this
distance We would say that the reg
ulars have surrendered TO the REFORM
ers. The Charleston NerS and COm-
ser saws that the constitution under
which the reunited Democracy will
henceforth act is fair to both factions
of the party, but it adds: The re-
formers deserve a great deal of praise
for the firm but thoughtful conserva-
tive spirit which has hitherto con-
trollcd their connuct. They have
taught this community a very whole
some lesson, hat the people them
selves make their own political lead
ers." Are we 10 understand that the
old moss-backed Bourbons take their
medicine like little men, and in so do
ing admit that the people themselves
have the right to choose their own
political leaders? If so, a good deal
has been gained. But this reunion is
in the nature of a lesson to the Re-:
publicsns. Everywhere it will be the
policy of the Democrats to adjust To-
cal or State differences and get in line
for the rontns. IN 1900
