The Democratic Party.

for the persons limited at in the
following paragraph from the
Baltimore Sun we endorse the
teachings of the said paragraph.
| We qnot.:
sit will be well for the poiiti-
clans everywhere to recognize the
TACT that Mr.. Cleveland has be-
hind him the masses not only of
the Democratic party, but OF the
American people. They compell-
ed his nomination as the candidate
of the neople's choice. On the 4th
of Id March be goes into office with
the same popular following, and
any attempt on the part OF any
political clique or coterie within
the party, in the Senate, or in the
House, 10 embarrass his adminiss
tration or throw obstacles in the
way OF the fulfllment of those
promises and pledges in reliance
upon which the people elected
Mr.. Cleveland to the presidency
will bring confusion and defeat
upon the conspirstors.'
The Sun is right. There is no
hope for the South except in the
continued success of the Demos
cratic party, and no hope for the
Democratic party expect in the
success of Mr.. Cloveland's Admins
istration, Any opposition to him
any factious opposition, we mean,
of course-wou!d result in injnrv
to the Democratic party. Mr..
Cleveland is the head and trout Of
that party because he is President
of the United States Any other
one of the gentlemen who compet-
ed with him at Chicago tor the
nomination for President wou d,
if be had succeeded in being mons
mated and elected, have become
the same recognized leader of the
Democratic forces, We have no
patience with the men who, claims
ing to be the best of Democrats.
nevertheless allow their feelings to
dictate their conduct. Appeal to
your Judgment and see if we have
not herein laid down the right rule
of action.
We believe in "practical poll
: tics We hold that as the success
of the Democratic party depends
upon the fealty of the masses of
the voters TO their leaders no less
than npon the fealty of those leads
ers to the principles of that party,
so there can never be found rea-
sons utfic ent to justify any Domo-
crat, cad r or follower, for suIk-
ing, Achilles like, in bis tent whilst
the battle is raging, or, Thersites
like, indalginS in language unbes
com ns and reasonable. And as
no one man is wiser than all other
men, we a'so hold that the great
est OF Democratic leaders must
govern themselves by the same
rules which control the actions of
all their Democratic associates.
We have quoted from the Sun
because, as we have said, We bes
lieve in the doctrine set forth in
the extract quoted, bnt it must not
be supposed that we do not under-
stand that paper meant to hint that
there was suspicion" of dlsloy-
atty to Mr., Cleveland on the part
OF Senators Hill and Murphy, of
New York. But those two Sen
ators are too wise, too loyal to the
Democratic party, too practical,
too well acquainted with the world,
and too we'll posted as to what it is
permissible for dissatisfied Demo.
crat to say and do, to be found do
ing or saying anything that would
render aid and comfort to the en-
emy. Mr.. Cleveland also is above
any and all petty prejudices, He
has given to Mr.. Carlisle a seat in
bis Cabinet, Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Carlisle tried to ins
. fiuence the Chicago convention not
to nominate him for President.
As be has treated Mr.. Carlisle, 50
will he treat the New York sens
atroz-that is, as Democrats true
to their party and therefore loya
to the foremost man in that PARTY
Yes, Mr.. Cleveland is the head
and front of the Democratic party

success of Mr., C.eveland's Admin

of all good Democrats.-Rich
