ocrat and therefore is free trader. But,
way, make way for the chivalric form of
Henri Watterson, the inventor and sole
owner Of the squint-eyed Goddess of re.
form. Thus he filings in his contribution
to the cauldron of Democratic harmony.
What interesting reading it must be
to the average Democrat who is will
ing to be a protectionist, a free
trader or any thing else which
bears the Democratic trade mark.
But let Henri speak. New York, from
sheer force of pressure and habit, seems
to be incapable of addressing any other
argument to the Democracy of the coun-
try except one composed in equal parts
of menance and money. To browheat
and cajole, to threaten and entice is the
usual stock in trade Of the average New
York politician, and the Democrats of
the west and south are mighty tired
OF it.
"They apprehend the value OF the vote
OF New York as factor in the general
election. They realize its potency in a
national convention. AS a rule they are
not unwilling to buy it, since it can only
be had by purchase, provided it does not
cost too much. But they don't like to be
bullied into this every time a national
convention meets to select national
ticket, and it is quite sure that if in 1892
New York attempts this old game it will
be found Intellectual, in having played it.
self out and being thoroughly exposed.
Except in 1876, there has been no
election since 1868 when an outside
nominee would not have been stronger
in the state Of New York than an actual
nominee who has been either New
Yorker or quasi New Yorker.
"In 1884 Mr.. Cleveland would have
lost New York except for chapter of ac-
cidents by which he was pulled through
literally by the hair of his head. Any
outsider would have run stronger, because
any candidate except him would have
had within New York united Demo-
cratic support, while the Mugwumps, ir-
revocably committed against Blaine, could
have gone nowhere else.
"The west and south do not mean to
stand any more d-n nonsense. We have
had too much of it already"
1t is but fair to assume that the above
pronunciamento from Kentucky relegates
The Damon and Pythias, OF New York, to
The mythical and nnexplored regions of
'innocuous desuetude." After them
who? And echo answers who? What
charming harmony prevails in the DEM
'cratic camp. How Mills, Hill, Cleve-
land and Watterson must love each
,ther. What patriotic impulses must
animate the unseish souls of the New
York Democracy who are always ready
o sell, and those of tie southern and /
western Democrats, who, "as rule, are
lot willing to buy, since it can only be
lad by purchase, provided it does not
'ost too much" Remember the above
hameful exposure of Democratic bribers
nd bride givers is not made by Repub-
lean but by that fiery cavalier (sans peur
t sans reproche) Of Democracy Henri
Vatterson, and as he says any New York
Democrat who does not like it "may put
in his pipe, clay or cob, and bestow his
emile respiration on it," 1t is now in
rider for some New York Democrats who
lon't like it, to use and explain that
Henri is another, and then there will be
likes on the shoulder and wigs on the
reen. Hurrah for the united Democ-
acy. A, L. MORRISON
