The New York Sun, after pstting
John NJ. Palmer and Simon Bolivar
Buekner and their goldite followers on
the back for their treachery in con
tributing TO the election OF Mckinley
in the late national election, now
turns upon these deluded fossils and
vents its spleen and ingratitude in this
wise; There is a real national Dem
ocratie party, aud it is not composed
OF the National Democrats. There
cannot be two Democratic parties, and
the sooner this pratentious and super
fiuous self-stYled National Demo ,racy
takes itself out Of the way, the better
for honest politics and accurate polit-
