Them but darkness and despair.

democrats who have antagonszed their local leaders on matters of personal con vfeaon are showing now willingness to spberdinate everything to party ha-- mony and panty success.
 The logic of democracy Is as plain and uneontroverttible as a syllogism in a cof- lege textbook What a majority Of the people demand shall be law. The people speak through their representatives in congress, in legislatures, sn political con ventions Sometimes the representaa- tive betrays his trust, some times he isn't, in the truest sense, representative. But the remedy Mes with the people. If they do not choose to apply it, Who shall say that they suffer wnongfully from the hvrl?
 Revolt against what is called siboss' or machine" rule is commendable in proportion as it ia considerable. If the boss or the machine holds mine e-tenths of the party voters, that very fact shows that neither boss nor machine has won, but that the great mass of the party has spoken. It is held to be cheap cyntcism to say that treason is patriotism if it is successful, but after all it is truth. To put it concrstely--if the Henry George movement had boiled more votes than stl1s regular ticket, 1t would have meant tf5at the Georgeftes were the rsal demo- crats; if Palmer and Buckner had polled more votes than Bryan and SeIwa1l, they would have been tine exponrnts of de- mocracy. which is essentially the will of qle majority.
 Tt is the pars of democrats everywhere now to cooperate with the majorttw in their own party, in order that 1t may become the majoEH.y party. The national policy will be fixed in 1900. The local policy is to be determined by those who represent the local majority. Out of har- mony. harmony achieved by seDf-sacri- flee and salf-afbneg s,Gon in each state and congressional district, national harmony and national victory wirl spring.
 There is common meeting ground for all democrats. That there are men masquecading as democrats S who by call ing. conviction and affiliation are wholly incapable of democratic sentiments the Journal knows. But they are few and their following is inconsiderable. The ma ajority of the people in this nation are
