THE REPUBLICAN MINORITY.
A Significant Statement by Democratic
Organ.

A Significant Statement by Democratic
Organ.
While democratic senators are scratch
ing around for any sort of compromise
that may satisfy party expediency, the
republican minority stands by its guns
and will have no more of hybrid COM
promise legislation. German, of the
democratic steering committee, and
most of the democratic leaders are
ready and willing to throw the admin
istration overheard and take up with
any miserable expedient that will
shelve the coinage issue and pave the
way to the passage of democratic tariff
bills, elections bills, southern claims
bills and harvest of appropriation
bills, that democracy may be III clover.
So thoroughly democratic an organ as
the New York World is candid enough
to state that to the republicans belongs
the credit of blocking disgraceful com
promises. The world states that the
.'insurmountable objection is presented
in the attitude of the republican sena-
tors who support repeal They are OPP
posed to any compromise, per-
maps bCSuuoO OhOJ oAAHU
the Sherman act was COM
promise and reflect how it operated.
Without republican votes, and a good
many of them, repeal cannot pass"
The World then scores time-servIng
democrats as follows: IF democratic
senators who are resisting repeal can
contemplate this result with unconcern
the democratic restoration to power is
a foredoomed failure and the southern
states may as well begin to set their
houses in order for another period Of
publican rule. If it ever does go
through the country will have to thank
repu blican senators for bringing about
this desirable result"
These are bold words and are signifi-
cant of the difference in timber be-
tween democrats and republicans in the
senate. A party which has president
and majority of both houses, and
then, after all of the vituperation
which it has heaped upon the Sherman
act and the wholesale pledges of repeal
which it has made, goes and deliberate
ly sets itself at work to devise weak
compromises and continue in force
practically the same act which it has
so long abused, lacks in two grand par
ticulars; the first is principle, and the
second in veracity. Minneapolis Trib-
une
