"c'vod a letter all the way from Boston

aglncd from the very natural pIcSump-
ton that We were to drink pure De-
mocracy direct from the iount uf
knowledge, which, like all other good
things, has It's location in the CITY OF
Cultuah." The invitation to draw
freely from its pages carried with it
the prcmonition of good-fellowship
and added zcst to the delights of an
ticipation.
But alas! What revulsion OF feel
ing took place when the long-expected,
cagerly-waitcd "Notes" made its APP
pearance, and we found it to be simply
Il syndicate publication issued by the
goldbugs, to occupy fighting ground
under the old name of Democracy.
The larger space OF No. 4, volume l,
the issue submitted for our inspection,
is devoted to laudations of Cleveland
and Watterson, and Buckncr, and
praise OF Secretaries Olney and Nor
ton. Then comes u review of the
drubbing given Mr.. Brandeis, Il goldbug
Democrat" by the Ways and Means
committee, which the letter charac-
terizes as a" high handed outrage"
1t must be admitted that he was
handled pretty roughly, but as it was
by his colleagues in the late cam
paign and the drubbing took place in
the house of his friends, true Demo-
Gratis will have very little sympathy to
waste upon the renegade, no matter
how he may stand on the tariff ques-
ton; and when it is stated that he
appeared as the representative of the
Massachusetts, Free Trade League, adj
vocating q doctrine that never was
and never will be Democratic, the ef-
fort to create sympathy for him over
his smarts appears contemplate as
we'll as ridiculous.
It will be seen from these state
ments that the periodical issued BIZ
monthly, by the Young Mems "Demo-
cratic" Club, of Bosting, Mass, is pi-
ratical craft, manned by political cut
threats, who repudiated the Demo-
cratic party, its candidate and plat
form, and aided by every means in
their power the success of the common
foe. 1t is published by aid of the cor
ruption fund that elected Mckinley
and foisted upon the people of the ma
ton four years more of the disastrous
policy of a so-called Democratic Presi-
dent who was repudiated by the party
that elected him for his apostacy to
true Democratic principles.
No Democrat has any use for the
piratical publication, and there should
be some means provided whereby it
may be restrained from using a name
honored by six millions of American
people and employing stolen prestige
as q means for serving the Evil One.
