PRINCIPLES, NOT PARTY.
The German Democratic Press Bolt
the Chicago Ticket

Chicago Staats-Zeitung: The Democ-
racy which declared itself last week in
Chicago is a new and degenerated edition
of the Democracy of 1861; in it reigns
the old Bourbon spirit which never learns
and never forgets- Who, therefore, de-
sires that the United States should fur
Their develop their national organism;
that the national government should be
further strengthened in the interest of
all; that national honor be kept undo
filed; that the national credit be kept IN
tact, turns away from Democracy
which has placed itself at the disposal
of destructive forces and joins that party
which was called in 1861 to save the
Union, and which in this year again
has the patriotic duty to purify the ma
uonal organism from the poison OF the
Populistic Democracy.
The issue is not one of party, but of
the highest achievements of the nation,
which can be kept secure only by the
authority of the Federal government, by
an honest currency and by an inassali-
able credit.
Iowa Tribune Oem). Davenport-The
Tecklessness and fanaticism of the SILVER
people at the Chicago convention, who
trampled all opposition under foot, has
| made very bad impression even upon
many of those who sympathiZe with the
theory of the debasers of money Ihe
majority of our voters is not ready by
any means to deliver the nation to such
| crazy demagogues Bryan, Waite, Till
man and others.
Waechter und Anzeiger Oem.), Cleve-
land-The currency plank. with its de-
clS1ye declaration against the gold stand
| ard, which, with total disregard of the
| entire other world of culture and com
| merce, is declared to be an English insti-
/ tuition and is stigmatized as such, While
| the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
| 16 to 1 is demanded as an immediate
measure of government, cannot fail to
| make an altogether revolutionary impress
| SION We should not be at all surprised
/ if this news should cause in Europe a
| decline of American securities IN all eX-
changes; anticipated this decline has long
J been.
| Louisville Anzeiger Oem.)-Nonsense,
thou prevailest! From Grover Cleveland
| to William Jennings Bryan-this is Il
| jump for which the real Democrat is not
| so easily ready The Anzeiger prefers at
any rate not to make it. After the aGop-
| ton of the platform the Anzeiger had no
need to pause a moment for the declari-
ton that it would not support the can
| didate who would accept the nomination
| upon this platform. The nomination of
Bryan makes this duty easier and more
| agreeable. Bland and Boies would have
| been fought by the Anzeiger on account
| of the cause which they represent. In
Bryan we do not only fight the cause but
| the person: Only convention which
placed Tillman above Cleveland and
Blackburn above Carlisle would perpe-
trate the bad joke to present the young
| hero of phrases from the West for the
| highest Office in it's gift.
Seebote Oem), Milwaukee: As the
close of the century has brought forth
the abominable 'new woman who
| rides a bicycle, smokes, drinks, wears
| trousers and tears herself loose from all
| old customs, so there has arisen in Chi
| cago, imbued with the same revolution
| airy spirit, a "new Democratic party
which stands everything time-honored on
the head, denies the traditions of the old
party, administers kick to honesty and
decency and comes before the people
with a financial programme which is q
mockery to all reason. The new WON
an and the new party are genuine
| fin de steele experiences, and one would
consider neither of them seriously if they
were not so serious in their consequences
They are on the hand the regret
table and undenia BILE eXcrescences of the
| liberality of social views and the
cal thought that the Constitution of the
| United States prevents nobody from ma k
ing a fool of himself as often as he likes
| to.
| Davenport Democrat DEM: The
| time has arrived for the clean separation
| of the two irreconcilable wings of the
| Democratic party, to which the Demo
crat has called attention for two years
Those Democrats who remain true to the
unalterable national principles, the!
were proclaimed by Thomas jefferson
James Madison and the other fathers o
| the republic" can have nothing in com
mon with the Populistic new Democrat
| who stole the banner and the name O
the glorious old party to betray unde
| its shelter the sublime principles and tt
| throw the country into unspeaka bic mis-
| cry.
