The Sew pemocratic Leader.

The Dispatch of last evening placed
itself at the head of the Palmer Buck
ner contingent and in bag pipe calls
insists that il shall now declare itself
the true Democracy and reorganize
that party on the ancient pincples.
Nothing could be more appropriate
than such a demand from such a
source. There is no difference what
eve- between the so-called Palmer
Buekner Democracy and wall street
Republicanism. The fusion between
them is now complete and the west
ern Democracy, under the leadership
OF Mr.. Bryan, it very little likely to
listen to any suggestions from those
who have recently deserted and be-
trayed it. IL is altogether fitting that
this presumptious proposition OF a re-
organization of the Democratic party
should come from a Wall street Re-
publican paper. The Chicago con-
vention and the nomination OF Mr..
Bryan was the first distinctively De-
mocratic action of the party Cor more
than Il generation. The Wall street
wing OF the party has been debating
its platforms and nominations ever
since the war, aud the distinction be-
tween the principles of Wall street
Democracy and Wall street Republi-
canism have never been great enough
. for the ordinary man to distinguish
between them. So long as Wall street
conld manage both parties, it was
sluHll difference to the Street which
candidate was elected.

an instrument to aid in the conceal
ment of the Juggling between the
Wall street Republicans and the
Wall street Democrats. Itwould not
do to have no point of difference.
The people might start party of
their own in the great west. At last
the time came when the Democracy
of the north, west aud south united
and repudiated the leadership of the
stock brokers and gold gamblers of
| New York and London and establish
ed an honest Democracy. Then the
| Wall street Democrats, seeing that
the game was detected and exposed
and their reign over deliberately went
over TO the Wall street Republicans.
The lines are clearly drawn, and
while Democracy may be temporarily
defeated by the recent desertion of
many who have been masquerading
in its name and sharing public hon
ors, this will,not prominently affect its
organization. Should the admins
tration of Mr.. Mckinley adhere to
the principles promulgated in the
past campaign by the Republican
party and reiterated by its new ally,
there is no power of combined trusts
or corporate wealth which can pre-
vent the triumphant election of Mr..
Bryan four year from now.
His is the truest voice that has
preached in the wilderness of our
national politics for more than fifty
years. He is the greatest champion
of public rights since the days of
Andrew Jackson. What satire and
commentary on the purposes OF the
decoy Democracy which has joined
fortunes with the Republican party,
that it should be first advised TO has
ten a call of their organization with
view of again seizing the control of
the real and popular Democracy, by
a newspaper which has never had a
breath of life in it which has not been
drawn in subserviency to Wall street!
No doubt this hippodrome will at
tempt to reorganize the Western De-
mocracy, but it's leaders will not be
credited by the people. They will be
recognized as the advance agents to
Pierpont Morgan and of Wall and
Lombard streets.
w. J. Bryan is and will remain the
head of the redeemed and regenerat-
ed Democracy. The real Democracy
has severed its partnership with brok-
ers and gold gamblers and has gone
out of the business of plundering in
the name of law.-Columbus Post.
