The New Republican States.

1t docs not very frequently lappcn that the
Republican party. speaking its delegates
In National Convention. and the Democrats.
speaking by their delegates in the like Ma
honal Convention. agree about any dis
puted point of national policy. Whom they
do 50 agree. tho Republicans usually derive.
1t must be reluctantly admitted. the entire
advantage resulting from such agreement.
A case III point Is found In the new electoral
spportionmcnt which Is 10 govern this
years Presidential election.
The Democratic National Convention OF
1885 adopted as one OF tho plnnks OF It's
platform the following:
"That Just and liberal policy should he pursued In
reference the Territories: that Washington Dakota
Montana and New Mexico are by virtue VI population
and Development. entitled To admission into tho rniun
AZ States ana we unQuaicdy c0nd. mn the course OF
tie Republican, party III refusing statehood and self
government to their people"
This plank uf tho platform was adopted
with enthusiasm and unanimity. and 1t
WAS regarded as Il masterstrOko OF Shrewd-
ness and subtlcty by those responsible for
Its introduction. Tho Territories thus IA
vorcd and defended from Republican hos
tility could havo no electoral votes In tho
Presidential contest of 1883.
Two werhs after tho meeting OF the DEM
ocratic Convention the Republicans ASSEM-
bled In Chicago, and this was that part of
tho platform which, with many pretcnces
OF sincerity and fairness. they adopted on
tho subject OF Eew States:

Many citizens Of Illinois who attended the
recent Democratic Convention at Chicago owe
debt of gratitude to genial Hank Evans, tho
Aurora statesman. who presided over one Of
the doors Of the Convention. Henry has a
warm side for all Illinoisans. Many man
who was unknown to Evans imposed upon his
good nature by gaining admission under the
plea that he resided at some cross-road ham
let Of Illinois. On the second day OF the Con
yention short ,pudgy follow brushed up to

The Young Democrat from Texas.

The Hon. JOSEPH W. BAILEY OF Texas is
the youngest member Of the Fifty-second
Congress. Mr.. HOLMAN is not an old man.
but Mr.. BAILEY Is more than forty years
younger than HOLMAN. When the member
from Indiana first took his scat in the
House OF Representatives. the member for
Texas was not yet born.
On the last day of the session just closed,
and when the unconstitutional appropria-
ton for The Chicago Fair was on its passage.
Mr.. BAILEY gave this reason for his per-
sistent opposition to the bill:
AS read the history of my race. has achieved
his hest his highest ms most enduring progress when
the Government has made him free and left him To
work out his own destiny in his own good way.

evc that the dury OF the Government 10 support
them instead of their duty to support the Government
am opposed 10 this appropriation because it violates
the base and fundamental principles Oh which this
republic was founded"
These principles arc the very essence OF
Democracy. Mr.. BAILEY has asserted them
frequently during the past session, and he
has asserted them not only with his voice
but also with his vote. He has thereby
won the hearty dislike Of such Democrats
in Congress as find it convenient or prof
table to contine the Democratic idea to
general propositions and hctoric.
The young man from Texas is on the
right road. There are In tho present
House al least II hundred Democrats. many
OF them old enough TO be his f.thcr, who
might well take lessons from Mr.. BAILEY
In the principles of Democracy.
