THE PRINCIPLE OF MAJORITY RULE.

Some of our more or less esteemed
Democratic goldbug eastern exchanges,
evidently realizing that the friends of
free silver coinage are morally certain to
have majority iu the approaching
Dem ocratic national convention, are now
virtuously clamoring against the proposed
substitution of the majority for the two
thirds rule in the Chicago convention on
the ground that the latter rule has pre-
vailed in Democratic national conven-
tions since the nomination of Martin Van
Buren, in 1886. If this ia an historical
fact, all we have to say is that the Demo-
cratic party has been governed by most
undemocratio practice for a great many
years and the sooner it abrogates that eb-
surd and inconsistent rule the sooner will
its practices be in strict accord with the
principles it has always preached. The
principle of ma joritY rule is fundament-
al to the government of the United
States and all other governments "of the
people, for the people ana by the peo-
ple," and it will be most fitting for the
champions of silver and a suitable tax
on excessive incomes, who are closer to
the people than any other class of per-
sons in politics, to place the Democratic
party right on that vital principle.

PRESS COMMENT.
A Timely Word.

The action of the Democrats of New
Mexico at the territorial convention at
Las Vegas should be such as will leave
not the slightest doubt as to where the
Democrats of New Mexico stand op the
silver question. The Democra of New
Mexico are for FREQ coinage first, last and
all the time and tho platform to be
adopted at the Las Vegas convention
should state this fact in plain, unmistak-
able language. If we are to expect help
from the Democr In other parts of the
country on the silver question, we must
hoist our colors and let them know where
we stand. The battle will soon be on and
the administration Democrats are not
going to help us in the fight for silver.
If the free silver Democrats pull together
we can control the national Democratic
convention, nominate silver man and
elect him in spite of the opposition OF
John Sherman's goldbug followers, both
Republicans and Democrats.-Silve City
