autonomy; we say it has remained
for the Chicago convention to revive
this supposedly dead theory, that did
not disappear from view until it was
left mangled on the fields of hum
dred bloody battles, beside its twin
democratic institution, slavery, more
than 80 years ago.
The first part of the plank, it is
needless to say, was aimed at the COM
mendable action of the president
in sending U. S. troops to quell the
Chicago riots during the great rail-
road strike. Governor Altgeld of
Illinois, true to his anarchistic in
stincts, at that time sat in his CUB
ernational chair inactive, seeming to
be in thorough sympathy with the des-
truction of life and property by the
lawless mobs, proving himself wholly
unwilling or incapable of preserving
order and providing protection with
in the borders of his own state. Then
it was that President Cleveland pat
riotically took a hand and restored
order out of chaos, protected inter-
state commerce and made the carry
ing of u. S. mails possible. This
action, which stands out as one of
the bright spots in the dark record
of the present administration, is con-
demned by the national democracy
as unconstitutional. Shame on such
declarations! We do not see how
any true, patriotic American can en-
dorse such an anarchistic theory.
The second part of the plank is
like unto the first. Federal judges,
enjoined striking laboring men from
exercising wanton and destructive
tactics in order to accomplish their
ends. Labor has no truer friend
than the NoRTHERNER, but even cap
ital has some rights, and labor must
respect them, even if, when frenzy
and demagogical leaders control it
and would lead to unwise and unlaw-
full excesses, the majesty of the law
of the United States has TO be inter-
posed through the courts.
The anarchy plank may suit Alt
geld and Tillman; it may have pleas
ed the silver majority of the Chicago
convention; Candidate Bryan may be
in complete sympathy with it; but
the American people have done with
the states rights doctrine and will
have none of it.

Democracy Still Lives.

From the Chicago Chronicle (deml
Dominated by men who are strang-
ers to the democracy and by ideas
even more grotesque in their novelty,
the Chicago convention has named
leaders who are not democrats and
adopted platform which is not DEM
ocratic.
BY its revolutionary and sectional
fury, by its shameful Endorsement of
the republican and populistic heresies
of cheap silver and greenbackism, by
its cowardly abandonment of tariff
reform, and by its amazing demand
for the restoration OF the barbarous
spoils system, no less than by the
nomination of men wholly unfit, the
Chicago convention absolves all dem
ocrats from allegiance to its candi-
dates and its principles. *
If ever men were reserved for de-
struction, if from the days of Belshaz-
zar and Sennacherib to those of George
III. and Jefferson Davis a supreme
power has at any time visited with
madness and blindness the creatures
of evil whose overthrow was neces-
sary to human progress, the gibber-
ing malevolents, Tillman and Altgeld,
and all who have followed them in
their new crusade of sectionalism,
disunion, reputation and ruin have
been under the shadow of that awful

The Chicago convention has not
spoken for the democrats of the
United States. 1t has voiced the
ignorance and the immortality, the
covetousness and the dishonesty of
the least enlightened elements of our
population. No center of intelli-
gence and progress and justice is rep
resented in its pronouncements.
The Chicago convention has been
controlled by and has spoken for the
disappointed graybacks of the Con-
federate armies and their kindred, the
moonshining lazzaroni of the noun
tain districts of the South, and for
the whooping desperadoes, silver
monopolists and debt shirkers of the
far West who never voted demo-
cratic ticket and never intend to

The Anarchy Plank.

No plank in the democratic national
platform, aside from the remark
able currency declaration, has at
tracted so much attention and re-
ceived so much untavorable criticism
as the following:
ave denounce arbitrary interfer-
ence by federal authorities in local
affairs as violation of the constitu-
tion Of the United States and crime
against free institutions, and we
especially object to government by
injunction as q new and highly dan
gerous form of oppression, by which
federal judges, in contempt of the
laws of the states and rights of the
citizens, become at once Legislators,
judges and executioners."
Our old soldier friends have all
these years supposed they shot to
to pieces during the early sixties this
states rights idea Of the ancient dem
ocracy. All these years they have
supposed, in common with other
citizens, that the federal government
was greater than that of the indi-
vidual state; that to- protect the
lives of American citizens in every
part of this land and in all parts of
the world, and especially to suppress
insurrection against lawful authority,
was proper province of the gener-
al government. 1t has remained for
this latter day democracy, under the
guiding hands of men of such vile an
archistic tendencies as characterize
Altgeld of Illinois and Tillman of
South Carolina, to revive the hideous
states rights doctrine that was for
years such an element of dissension
and such weakness in our national

both revengeful, both insane with
evil ambition, both filed with sleep
less zeal to destroy the democratic
party, which they know to be con-
servative and patriotic force not to
be enlisted in support of their revo-
lutionary frenzies-the one stands for
all that is abhorrent politically at the
South as the other stands for all that
is politically dangerous at the North.
Aiding and abetting these miser-
able counterfeiters of democratic
leaders, these base limitations of dem
ocratc statesmen, are great host of
renegade republicans and populists-
the Tellers and Waites, the Blands
and Bryans, the Pennoyers and Stew
arts, the Taubenecks and Joneses-
all hating the democratic name and
all hoping that the disintegration of
splendid party may bring to them
some trife in the way of plunder or
spoils. Democracy has been humili-
ated, but it has not been destroyed.
1t still lives, prodigious force for
good, a terror to evil. Rising again
in all the majesty of the power of
the ever living truth, it will smite
with a mailed hand the traitors and
mercenaries who, in its honored
name, have raised the somber flag of
financial shame and the blacker flag
of disunion and hate.

The democratic platform has a
great deal to say about monopolies
and "the absorption of wealth by the
few, the consolidation of railway sys-
TENS and the formation of trusts and
pools;" it also demands that the
power to issue notes as money be
taken from the national banks. On
that platform the democracy has
nominated for the vice presidency a
man reputed to be worth s5,O0O,0OO,
he being one of the few who have
absorbed the wealth; he is large
stockholder in two great shipbuilding
corporations, and also in the Maine
Central and the Boston and Maine
railroads-some Of those New Eng.

If, as the Courier says, the advo-

Cleveland" by the Lansing Journal
would mean the immediate decapita-

present incumbent of the Paw Paw
postoffice, one of the publishers of
the Courier?

Democratic Theory VS.. Democratic
Practice.

The democratic platform says:
1--WE are opposed to the policy and
practice of surrendering to the hold
ers of the obligations of the United
States the option reserved by law to
the government of redeeming such
obligations in either silver coin or
gold coin" But that is precisely
what the democratic administration
has done and is still doing. Demo.
crat theory is not in harmony with
democrat practice.
Again: ave are unalterably OPP
posed to the single gold standard"
But Grover Cleveland, the politi.
cal Moses who led the democrat
party to victory after many years of
defeat, has made it the prime object
of his administration to maintain the.
single gold standard at all hazards.
Democrat theory and democrat prac-
tice are diametrically opposed to each
other.
But again: ave are opposed to
the issuing of interest bearing bonds
of the United States in time of peace
and condemn the trafficking with
banking syndicates which in ex-
change for bonds and at an enormous
profit to themselves, supply the fed
eral treasury with gold to maintain
the policy of gold mono-metallsm."
Who finds any fault with this plank?
Certainly not republicans, they never
did any such thing, but President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle did.
Another instance of democrat theory
in opposition to democrat practice.
And once again: 1--WE demand a
return to that simplicity and economy
which best BELTS democratic govern
ment." And yet democratic admin
istration in time of profound peace
issued 1862 100000 of bonds. Was
that measure of simplicity and eco
nomy, or was it another Instance Of
the clashing of democrat theory and
democrat practice?
And yet again: 1--WE denounce ar
bitrary interference by federal au-
thorities in local affairs as violation
of the constitution of the United
States and crime against free insti-
tutions." And yet one of the few
praiseworthy acts of the present ad.
ministration, one that all GOOD citi-
zens applauded, was federal interfer-
ence in the Chicago railroad riots,
but this, nevertheless is another in
stance Of conflict between democrat
theory and democrat practice.
People who rely upon the fulfil
ment of democrat platform pledges,
judging from the wide divergence be-
tween democrat theory and democrat
practice, between democrat promise
and democrat performance, are likely
to be grievously disappointed.
