DEMOCRATTC PROMI.E AND
PERFORMAN

The last presidential campaign was
won by the democratic party, ard Mr.
Cleveland became president elect and
this Ia nth year ego president, on the
ground that the defeat OF the repu blican
party and tie overthrow of tho economic
system under which the republic had
b scome th7 most prosperous nation IL
the world would carry it TO POINT of
industrial development higher than it
had ever seen in all is history. That
was the dee ocratic promise. What /.
the democratic performance? Is any
man, is any interest, is any branch of
business, is any mechanic, merchant or
manufacturer, better off today than he
was before this political and Industrial
revolution took place? Not one will an
swer "yes" 70 the roll call.
Gov. Mckinley made this the keynote
of his speech at Minneapolis on Wednes-
day, WHEN he said: "The democratic

as the rich, for it has involved them all
iD common loss. What devastion and
distress have been wrought in a single

is that true picture or is it not?

| MAYOR PERRY's announcement last
night during the last moments OF the
meeting of the city council, that he WAS
1 repu blcan and proposed with the
help of the three republicans in the
council to appoint republicans to FIJI
| the vacancies in the city offices, lately
held by republicans, elected at the re-
cent city election by the repu blicans'
| was the keynote 10 success in our party
matters. When the last city election
was held the d. mecrats had five mem.
bers of the council, and they filed the
Offices with dem ocrats, as they had a
right to do; as long as they selected
honest, resi- ectable men. After a red
bot fight this state of affairs was
changed and the republicans carried
everything IN sight at the last city cleo
ton, which gave them the mayor a
half of tee councilmer, enabling the re-
Dublicans to appoint republicans to fill
such vacancies as may occur durirg TIE
present year. We have respect enough
,or our political aaversaries 10 kpow
that under like circumstances the DEM
ocrats would take advantage of the sit
uation and would select their men from
the raak and file OF the democracy.
Neither would republicans expect
to tickle them under the chin and
get item to fo-ego their rights.
Ii they calculated On such a state of
affairs they would be sadly disappo inted,
as the strong point of d. mocrat is,
that he never loses sight of the fact that
he is a democrat when it comes to
distributing pap. Let US look on the
other strong point of a democrat and
We will fird it TO be greasy aptitude
to lubricate weak republicans iuto
yielding into his hands the fruits of an
earned victory. To cay that democrats
are immense at this foxy undertaking
is ID express it mildly. If successful
in their efforts they will confdeL italy
inform their followers the next day
that the poor vet nc did something they
would not b ave done under similar
circumstances and at the same t me
express their contempt for the man
who proved so plant a tool in their
hands. Their sentim ents are correct.
A man elected by his party owes his
vote to his party, be is under oblga-
Ii ms to his party ard it should not be
necessary for republicans to work early
and late to get republican vote out OF
him.
The mayors pro 1unciamento is right
and that herand the council will uni
fOrmiy live up to the idea that We have
a republican majority, we do not ques-
ton, as the circumstances demand a
strong republican haud in city affairs.
