EDITOR CLIFFORD of the Martins
burg, W. Va, PIONEER PRESS certain
~ makes himself heard and gives his
readers an ably edited journal. 1t
would be fitting tribute to him were
the Republican leaders to recognize
his worth and appoint him to some po-
sition in keeping with the service he
has rendered not only his people, but
his party.
But then Mr.. CLIFFORD is too indie
pendent.
Far better off as a poverty
but free mountainer, than a well clad
slavish offiee-holder, with no hope for
the future beyond the monthly allow
ance from the national crib. His day
Of recognition will yet come.

In filling Judge Gon' vacancy on the
bench the country would like to see
no retrogrs ssion from the high nom

Democracy's Noble PURPOSES.

The Louisville. Courier journal. th,
great organ OF Palmer and Buckner
in some illusions to the convention
which dominated Mr.. Bryan says
ut was not until the wild asses o
Ipopulism crowded to the front tramp
ling under foot the noble purpose.
and the conservative traditions o
Democracy that it found itself M
longer able TO lead to victory. Ther
forced to follow to disaster it pre-
ferrod an honorable defeat to dis
honorable surrender"
Now if the Democratic convention
at Chicago did such dastardly deed
as to trrmple under foot tho noble
purposes OF Demo cracy, what arc
these noble purposes Of which The
Louisyilie-Courier Journal speaks
and which it charges were so ruth
lessly over run.
1t has been charged by the enc
inies OF the Democratic paaty. and
notwithstanding some reason that
for long time it has stood for moth
ing, that its policy has been laissoz
faire
Is it ignoble in the opinion of the
Louisville Courier journal to stand
for bold and vigorous policy?
a party must stand for something
must serve useful purpose, other.
wiso it has no right to exist.
And instead of trampliig under
foot the noble purposes of Democla
cy the party stands ut present more
vigorous for tho noble purpose of
advancing the interest of all the PEG
pie. than it has stood since the DAYS
of Jefferson.
If the Louisville Courier Journals
idea of noble purposes is standing
for nothing, learning nothing, devils
ing no measures for public good,
lighting eternally over mere ques.
ton OF tariff schedules, it has no con.
ception of the spirit which animates
the Democracy of today and which
its followers inherit from Jefferson.

General Lee has deserved well of
