WHAT WAS DONE FOR DEMOCRACY IN COIIoES.

TO the Editor OF the TIL ID n e.
Sir: The following true story Illustrating the sure
sign and seal Of modern Democracy and the usual
reason and reward for devotion to that party has
never been told in ptnt. In the organization OF the
last Legislature Of this State fair representative OF
the more active and behcose portion Of the Demo-
cratic party In Cohoes applied 10 Democratic mem
Der OF me Legislature for his Influence In obtaining
the place OF doOrleeper IN the House. The dis
tlngulshcd and faithful representative OF his party
true 10 the Of the party, naturally asked
the seeker for Public Office and public trust' what
CohOes had done for the Democratic party The
bold and nvlncibe applicant for the position OF door
keeper with "a tear In his voice" replied "Cohoes
has always been loyal TO the Old Democratic party
and 10 prove the loyalty Of Cohoes Democrats he said
that they had torn down two churches within the
last year and had built large brewery in their place"
II needless say that he secured the inhooepce"
Of the member and the appointment Of doorheeper
Perhaps In the discharge OF the duties Of his high
Office he experienced something Of the feeling OF that
other doorkeeper who declared that he was bigger
man than old Grant, At all events his fidelity ~
the principles Of his party rewarded In a sub
stantial way and why notl When Democratic Judge
guilty OF the crime OF stealing the Legislature OF
State Is rewarded BY the Governor Of that state with
tho highest Office In his gift. why should not the de-
stroycr OF churches be rewarded by the appointment
OF doorkeeper In the horse OF his fnendsl

A LESSON FOR KENTUCKIANs IN PROTECTION.

To the Editor Of The TIL une.
Sir: Mr. IIorr made fine impression whiie mere
during the Chautauqua meeting, personally oratorcay
and concusvely especially so with Repup'-
cans. and largely so with Democrats. In
fact many Democrats amazed that so many COCA
things could be said and well said in defence OF
what they have taught to regard as the robber
tariff Some of them claim that It was put up Job BY
somebody to bring Mr. lorr and Hubbard together on
the tariff but that could hardly be so. As majority
Of the board OF managers Democrats they probably
sought to secure fair average presentation OF both
side, OF the question. In Mr.. lIorr they got more
than they expected and in Mr. Hubbard they got less
than they expected, and still secured a fair average
debatcr from each side. But In this there Is nothing
strange or unusual as Democrats can make little, II
any, defence OF their position to free trade The
writer overheard conversation In front Of the Phoenix
Hotel late In the afternoon OF tho day OF the debate
The crowds returning from the grounds Colonel
Craddock OF 1.-THE Paris Citizen" Democratic paper.
had returned to the city In company with MT huD.
bard AS they alghted from the street cars Hubbard
passed on into the hotel and Craddock rushed up eH
citedfy TO a group OF Democrats. exclaiming: Did
you hear Hubbard Did you hear ]lubbardf' Oh2
mdde-a ged man. n well-todo looking farmer, answered
slowly Yes, | heard Mr.. Hubbard, bn. the other
fellow is a ID sight the smartest man." Ane this
seemed to be a fair expression for the group.
