MA.LORLTY RTLE-

One of the cardinal principles of the Democratic party is majority rule. Indeed, the Constitution ot our country is based on majority rule, which contemplates the execu- tion of the will of the majority, con sistent with the inherent rights of the minority.
 This is a government of the major ity as expressed by popular will through the ballot box. This is a government, as MT Lincoln ex- pressed it, "of thel people, for the people and by the people. The very meaning of Democracy is majority rule. Then, how do those gentlemen who are bolting the ae- tion of the National Democratic party at Chicago, and who style themselves National Democrats. ? reconcile their situation with the fundamental teachings of their par ty?
 Upon this point Mr. Bryan said in his Buffalo speech
 q am aware that in the writing of a platform it is impossible to suit the opinions of all. I recognize that people who think will differ, and that We often find in platforms things with which we can not fully agree, and we fail to find in plat forms sometimes q mention of the policies which we regard as impor- tant. But platforms are not writ ten by all of the party; they are written by majority of the party (applause) and when majority of a party writes a platform the others in the party must either stand upon it or get out of the party. (Ap- plause.) There is no other plan hnown except the rule of a majority, or the rule of a minority, and it is better for a minority to be alienated than for the voice of majority to be suppressed. You can support those who stand upon the Chicago platform although you may dissent from parts of it. But I stand upon the Chicago platform because l be- lieve in it from beginning to end, every word.
 In the above MT. Bryan has clear Fly laid down the rule of party pro cedure. The minority must either accept the candidate and platform of the majority, or get out of the party. And they arc indeed poor Democrats who cannot accept con trary view to their own when adopt ed by majority of the party with the same loyalty that they expected had their own views been adopted by the majority.

 ELSEWHERE in this issue we pub fish card from MT. John M. Taylor, in which he excepts to certain state ments of our reporter in Friday s GRAPHIC anent the organization of a gold club in this city. Mir. Taylor denies that he ever caused the arrest of any A. R. U. meu during the Debs' strike of 94, but simply sought, by injunction, to restrain them from interfering with the movements of trains. The GRAPHIC has no desire to misrepresent Mr. Taylor, or anyone else, and if the agreat and glorious has done so, we gladly make the correction. Mr. Taylor also proceeds to ask us a few questions, eategorically, relative to the strike of 1894, but as the Debs strike is dead issue, and plays no part in the present campaign, we do not deem it our duty to enter into . bootless discussion of that subject

To the Editor Of the GRAPHIC,
 DEAR SIR: Referring to the pro- ceedings of the Sound Money Demo- erats your paper said: "Mr. John NJ. Taylor, the corporation lawyer. who was so active in aiding the Federal authorities to arrest a number of the A. R. T.. men in this city and other parts of the State during the strike several years ago, introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Every labor ing man, and particularly labor union men, should carefully read this resolution, consider it's source, and then compare it with the platform of the true Democratic party. The comparison is sure to result in a yer dict favorable to the Chicago plat form. -
 ] appreciate the compliment you pay me in designating me as q cor poration lawyer; but, as l do not recall that it ever became necessary to arrest any A. k. [. men in Pine Bluff, and as l was active only in seeing that the property of tie rail- roads was protected, and in having enioined from interfering with the movements of trains, strikers. and men engaged in a riot at the Valley depot. desire to know if you con demn such a course, or did you ap- prove such lawful protection of property, under the circumstances that surrounded LIS in 1891? Did you stand with the president and the courts, CT did you go with Dehs and approve his methods?
 am anxious that my position be not misrcpresented. and think the public shonld know how you, (not yonr reporter) stand on this question now. as well as in 1894 Truly,
 JNo. NJ. TAYLOR.

country.

The Gasette of Sunday states that the Prosecuting Attorney of that district has nolle prosequied the cases against ex-Treasnrer ". B Woodruff and s. Fl. Buchanan, the former charged with false pre- lenses and the latter with embezzle- ment.
 These cases are fresh in the minds of the people. Woodruff is the ex- State Treasurer who defaulted and retired from office, leaving a large vacuum in the vaults behind him, while the Rev. s. H. Buchanan is the individual who embedded the funds of the State charitable institu- tions.
 The cases were of an aggravated nature. Treasurer Woodruff deliberately footed the State Treas ury of a large sum of money, and if there was ever a thief who deserved to do service in the penitentiary of the State for a long tenn of years, Billy Woodruff is one. He footed the State treasury in a deliberate and wanton manner for his own personal gain, and sought to pro- long his peeulations by seeking a reelection at the hands of tte peo- pie of Arkansas before his shortage became known. But his actions during the campaign and the zeal of some of his friends excited suspicion, and in the contest he was defeated for re-nomination. It was buta short time after the convention, however, until the fact that he was a heavy defaulter became known.
 He was indicted by the grand jury of Pulaski county in 1893, and the defendant took change Oi venue to Perry county. Two trials resulted in a hung Jury, but at the third trial he was convicted and his punishment fixed at one years i'm prisonment in the penitentiary. The case was then appealed to the Supreme court of the State, where judgement of the lower court was reversed and a new trial granted.
 Prosecuting Attorney Pembertor dispaired of ever eonvicting Wood ruff again, because of his influence and friends, and in order to save the people further expense by another long trial, the case was dismissed.
 This is q sad commentary upor the laws and the jnries of our com. monwealth. Other States may con. yict their defauIting treasurers an6 send them to the penitentiary, but Arkansas is not of that mum Der.
 The starving man may be sent tC the county farm for stealing loa of bread from the baker, or to the penitentiary for stealing a suit oi clothes from the merchant, but thieves in high places may rob and steal thousands of dollars from : poor and distressed people and yet go unwhipped of justice.
 This is presumed to be a govern. ment where all people stand equa. before the law, but it is a violent presumption. It is a government as at present administered, where the poor and friendless must stand the greatest burdens and the sever. est punishments.
 And Justice weeps because she is outraged.
