are rejoicing. The Democrats Of
the West and South went to
Chicago determined to rule or
ruin. The convention became a
frantic mob andevery man who
refused to throw up his hat and

Anarchy, socialism, wild cat
money and wild west have driven
thousands of Democrats out of
their party since last Thursday.

when we look on the wreck of
Democracy now before us, the
damage done by the National
Convention of 1899 is seen to be
greater than it at first appeared.
When that body, also in u state
