DEMOCRATIC REORGANIZATION.


the face of very grave necessity, no
less thing than the absolute necessity
of an entire and sweeping upsetting, a
full and entire reorganization. Gradu-
ally the party has been parting with
here an old time principle and there
one of its time honored tenets of faith,
until at length the time has come in
all of its fullness to call halt and to
settle definitely which and what are not
democratic doctrines. In view of the
fact that the democratic party has been
from the founding of the government
the champion and defender of the hard
money idea as the financial policy of
the nation, and in view of the depar-
ture of the national democratic ad-
ministration widely from this whole
some old landmark doctrine of the
party, Mr.. Bland, Senator Vest, and
other equally distinguished democrats
have arrived at the conclusion that the
time has come when the party faith

in the future there will be no possible
chance for the faithful to stray far
away from the old foundation stone of
the hard money doctrine of the pris-
tine democracy. The matter of this
restatement has been deferred until all
fear of force bills and other hostile leg
islation for the south were done
away with. That time has come in
the judgment of the leaders and they
do not hesitate to declare that the re-
organization which is impending must
come at once, or rather, in time to per-
fectly dispose of it before the next La
tional campaign is on.
1t is thought that what we may lose
in strength in the east will be more
than compensated for by what we will
gain in the west and south. Nor is it
certain by any means that we will lose
materially IN the east. The claquer
corps organized by the bankers of New
York have made good deal of noise
it is true, but it remains to be seen if
it were not more noise than anything
else, which is the best opinion we
can get from those best informed on
the subject. There is no doubt at all
of the south and the west. Such re.
organization on free coinage lines will
give us great boost. The gains will
be large and unques toned. If moth
ing is done, from this time on we viii
lose heavily and certainly. There is
no doubt whatever that if the proper
effort is ade, the free silver men viii
