The democratic party is divided
against itself in this country.
This is the great oyer ruling tact
of the situation. No matter what
the circumstances may be the
democratic party has the endur-
ance to take severe punishment,
as it is invariably on the wrong
side Of all great questions. The
party is preparing to go into the
present campaign with its forces
hopelessly divided. The former
great leaders are no more in the
councils of the party. Three
times was President Cleveland
nominated and twice he lead the
party to victory-the last time
securing entire control of the gov
ernment, and now he is discarded
and ignored The feature of the
democratic convention was that it
was without recognized leader
one the party could trust. Can
the people trast a party, the mem
bers OF which can not trust each
other.

Protection to American labor and
industries, and revenue sufficient

ley and Hobart and favored by
the people who are going to elect
the next republican presidential
candidates.

A strange thing to US is to see
some Of our colored people walk
by cigar or newspaper counter,
owned by colored man, and go
to some other stand to buy cigars,
especially when they have the
cash TO pay. Why not trade with
the drug stores, with the clothing
store, the dry goods store, gro
Gerry, restaurant and all other
places where the proprietor en-
ploys colored help. Let the EN-
ployer know that you appreciate
this fact. That is the way the
colored people do in Chicago and
other metropolitan cities, and they
have hundreds Of colored clerks.

The national democratic conyen-
ton IS thing of the past. It will
become noted because Of it's turn-
ing down their long tried and ex-
perienced leaders such as Hill Of
New York, Villas of Wisconsin,
Watersop of Kentucky, Bland of
Missauri-and the greater Insult
was the slap they gave Cleveland
and his administration, which had
done much to build up their party.
The convention went back on the
long cherished principles of sound
money, and nominating a young
free silver pepnlist as their stand
ard bearer, all which seems
strange to the public. Such action
must. no doubt, be very humiliat
ing und hard tor true democracy
to accept.
