DEMOCRACY'S BETRAYAL.

The democratic state central
committee of Oregon, has repu-
dated the work of the Chicago
convention. 1t has practically
disfranchised those citizens who
desire to vote for Bryan and Sew
all, and has endorsed, in the
name of democracy, the nol1li-
nees of delnocracy's vital enemy
the populist party.
The democratic and republican
parties are ancient enemies.
Their rivalry has been for suprem-
acy, but the struggle between
populism and democracy is one
of extinction. In this state, de-
1nocracy's trusted officers have be-
trayed it to the enemy and have
marched into the camp of popu,
lisnl. There are unmistakable
signs that the rank and file o.
Jefersonians will not serve under
the Weaver standard.
There are four sets of presi-
dental electors in Oregon. They
represent Mckinley and Hobart,
Bryan and Watson, Palmer ane
Buckner and the prohibition can
didates. There are no Bryan ane
Sewall elect rs.
The genuine democrat canno
and does not endorse the stab
bing of his party by those whom
the party has intrusted with it
management. He may protes
quietly, but his action will be eff
fective. On the third of Novein
Der many a voter who might have
favored Bryan and Sewall, will
mark his ballot for McKinle,
electors, or for Palmer.
