Our greatest historians do not Tor
moment allow the right OF tie Demo
cratic PARTY of the present day to
claim either jefferson, Madison or
jackson as its founders or as the eX-
ronents Of its doctrines. In the histo-
~ of the United States there has been
four Democratic parties. The first,
the party of jefferson and Mad!son'
was developed hy the ISSUES arising
after the Revolution, issGes chiefly due
to conflicting conceptions of govern
mental over The second and third
existed in the day, of jackson. They
were the Southern Free Trade Democ-
racv founded by Calhoun, and the Ma
tional Democratic party, OF which
jackson was the leader, Jefferson the
prototype, and which WAS more OPP
posed in principles and doctrines to
the Calhoun Wing than it WAS TO the
Wing party itself. The last IS the
Cleveland Free Trade party of to day,
the legitimate successor of the Calhoun
Democracy, having as little right to
trace descent from the PARTY of jeifer-
son and Jackson as it has t. call itself
