Nor only did the Democrats put
themselves on both sides of leading
questions in their platform, bnt COM
mitted themselves the same way in
their ticket. Cleveland is held up by
the mugwumps as the apostle of civil
service reform, while Stevenson is
loved for the 10000 vacancies he made
in the postoffice Department. Demo
cratic orators can appeal both ways
upon this ticket.

A STEADY IMPROVEMENT.

In the recent interview that the
leaders of the Peoples party had with
Judge Gresham, the Judge is reported
as saying that 'the control of cleo
tions and legislation by the corrupt
use of money more than anything else
menaces popular government and the
popular peace. If these abuses are
not speedily checked the consequent
ces are likely to be disastrous. The
evil to which Judge Gresham refers
is one which should be carefully
guarded against, for whatever sue
cess attends such corruption rebounds
to the benefit of the few not the
many.
The evil complained of is one that
has been complained of in every age
and in every country that has risen
from poverty to wealth. But affairs
are manifestly much better to-day
than ever before in the worlds his
tory. Time was when wealth, which
WdS III UuC uduuo VI Vic iO", was q II
absolute power; when the many had
no voice whatever in the manage
ment of public affairs. But the many
asserted their powers and in this
country from the foundation of the
government, they have managed the
affairs of the nation. A fewyears ago
the cry was universal that our cleo
tions were controlled by the use OF
money, and that the voice OF the peo-
pie was thereby nullit1ed. From all
sides there went up demand for leg
islation that would render such con-
troll impossible, and as result ma
jority of the states have adopted the
Australian ballot. The growing indie
pendence Of voters is another indica-
tion that money is no longer con-
trolling feature in elections, while
the defeat of few leaders in their
attempt to secure the nomination of
their choice in the recent conven-
tions of the two great parties, is in
disputable proof that the desire of
the many is the most potent power in
the shaping of the affairs of the ma
tion.
True it is that there are dangers
lying along this line that must be
guarded against for all time. Un-
principled demagogues will resort to
any means from the preaching of Ca
lamity to the INSCRIPTIONS use of
money to obtain the power they COW
ct, but this is danger that is as liza
BILE to arise from among the many as
from the few.
Another indisputable proof that
the times are growing better instead
of worse, is the growing demand that
United States Senators be elected by
popular vote. The simple charge
that few men have bought their po-
sitionS in that body is enough, and
popular Indignation against such a
method is being aroused, and though
it may be years before the change is
made from the state legislatures to
the people, the people are ALREADY be-
ginning to indicate their choice, so
that the action of the legislature is
becoming simply matter of form to
comply with the statutes.
And so almost every day there
comes to light fresh indications that
the power of the many is growing and
that that of the few, with all their
money at their command, is not de-
stroying the bulwarks of our liber-
ties.
