The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-09-03

terhallsm OF the republican and the socia-
list; the destructiveness of the anarchist.
and the vagaries of the infiationist and
the repudiator,
Byron wrote while the Coliseum
stands Rome shall stand, and while Rome
stands, the world" We say while democ-
racy stands the republic shall stand. and
While the republic stands human liberty.
For season our party may stray
after false doctrines and founder amid
quagmires until the beacon light of truth
breaks upon it. 1t will rise from every
fall, like Antaeus of old and cen in its
ashes will live it's wonted fires if the de-
cree of fate, our party must perish. let
no historian write such epitaph on its
tomb as this: Game to an untimely end
from swallowing political and financial
poison, but rather let this epitaph be
written over its honored grave, dug amid
the ruins of the capitol 1T did not sur
vive the loss of liberty, the destruction
of the republic and the decay of public
and private MORALS
We are not the propagandists of new
creed We are the upholders of the old
We appeal from democracy drunk with
delEsion, to democracy sobered by reason
With an abiding faith in the intelligence
and honesty of our people, we lay before
them and the world the reasons that
prompt US to unfurl the old flag that has
Heated over many triumph and many
defeat, and never vet soiled by repuda-
ton or stained by dishonor.
I'VE deem it wise to pursue an aggres-
stve rather than a negative policy; to be
Achilles dragging Hector around the walls
of Troy rather than Achilles sulking in
his~tent. We propose to make a funeral
pyre of the cadavers of populsm and
anarchy. We propose to drag behind our
triumphant chariot wheels, in defeat and
disgrace, around the national capitol the
dead Frankenstein personifying their
pernicious creed and their turbulent IA
naticism
I'VE cannot make bed-felows, even in
a night of furious storm and thick dark
ness, of our lifelong antagonists. We
cannot, even to escape as great evils
as are the necessary result of the sue
cess of the Chicago platform, be the
executioners of our loved and venerated
party. We cannot even by implication,
be held to the false theory that the peo-
pie can be made rich by taxation, nor to,
the theory that the federal power and
treasury can or ought to be used to inn
pair the autonomy of the states. on one
hand, and, on the other, to dispense largess
to favored classes.
THE election of Mckinley or of Bryan
with our support, would mean the
destruction of our whole party for a
generation. For. when our people recover
from the debauch of popuism and anar-
chy, they will discard the men who have
led their orgy. If we go to Mckinley those
men will be the recognized opponents Of
democracy. When the fumes of the de.
bauch are dissipated and sober reason re-
sumes her sway. our flock will turn to-
ward it's fold only to find it destroyed.
I'VE. therefore, stand fast. We sound
a bugle call throughout the land for all
democrats to rally for the support of
| government and law, for the honor of
hal fvsxy 4 10 ofp,fg, .z1-
and preservation of their creed, it's mem
cries and it's glories. If not needed now,
1t will be in the near future. And then
those clouds which lowered over our po-
litical horizon and darkened our councils
will take flight; those opposed eyes which
lately met in party conflict will be turned
all one way. and a united and triumphant
democracy will march on to victory under
the Aegis of the constitution and under
the precepts of the apostles of our faith. -
