Chicago Staats-Zeituns: The Democ-
racy which declared itself last week in
Chicago is a new and dcgenerated edition
of the Democracy of 1861; in il reigns
the old Bourbon spirit which never learns
and never forgets. Who. therefore. de-
sires that the United States should fur
ther develop their national organism;
that the national government should be
further strengthened in the interest OF
all; that national honor be kept unde-
fled; that the national credit be kept in
tact. turns away afrom Democracy
which has placed itself at the disposal
of destructive forces and joins that party
which was called in 1851 to save the
Union, and which in this year again
has the patriotic duty TO purify the ma
tional 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 lnassaH-
able credit.
Iowa Tribune Oem.), Davenport-The
recklessness and fanaticism of the silver
people at the Chicago convention. who
| trampled AN opposition under foot, has
made very bad impression even upon
| many of those who sympathize with the
theory of the debasers of money. The
| majority of our voters is not ready by
any means to deliver the nation to such
| crazy demagogues as Bryan, Waite, Till
man and others.
Waechter und Anzeiger Dem.), Cleve-
land-The currency plank. with its de-
cisive declaration against the gold stand

entire other world of culture and com

| Louisville Anzeiger Dem.)-Nonsense.
thou prevailest! From Grover Cleveland
| to William Jennings Bryan-this is
jump for which the real Democrat is not
so easily ready. The Anzeiger prefers at
any rate not to make it. After the adop-
| ton of the platform the AnZeiger had no
need to pause moment for the declara-
| ton that it would not support the can
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

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
= >lr1frx,

| which stands everything time-honored on
| the head. denies the traditions of the old
party, administers a kick to honesty and
/ decency and" comes before the people
| with financial programme which is a
mockery to all reason The 'snew wom-

j 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 one hand the regret

liberality of social views and on the
other hand of the freedom of the politi-
cal thought that the Constitution of the
United States prevents nobody from max
ing a fool of himself as often as he likes
| to.
Davenport Democrat Oem): The
time has arrived for the clean separation
of the two irreconcilable wings of the
Democratic party. to which the Demo
| erat has called attention for two years.
| Those Democrats who remain true to the
unalterable national principles, as they
| were proclaimed by Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison and the other fathers of
| the republic" can have nothing in COM
mon with the Populistic new Democrats
| who stole the banner and the name of
the glorious old party TO betray under
it's shelter the sublime principles and to
throw the country into unspeakable mis-
cry.
