A Vexed Question Settled.

IA 'OAOu YutSJIOH ScItI6uS
The question as to "What is
Democrat?" has of late been q dis.
puted and a vexatious one. There
have been all sorts of excited patriots
claiming to be disciples of true Democ-
racy, and yet holding directly oppo-
site views upon the most important
public question. We have silver Dem
ocrats and gold Democrats; free trade
Democrats and protection Demo-
Gratis; Cleveland Democrats and
Bryan Democrats, and even McKin-
ley Democrats. The country will be
pleased to know that now legal pro-
ceedings have been initiated, for the
purpose OF securing a judicial deter
mination Of the much mooted and in
teresting question, what is Demo
craft"
In Massachusetts there is d law re-
curing that certain public boards
shall be constituted of mem bers from
both the leading political parties;
that is, of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. The members of a board were
appointed, and consisted of one Re-
publican, and two men who protested
to be Democrats, but who last fall
bolted the Chicago platform and
ticket, and voted for Palmer for presi-
dent. A bumptious Bryanite took
exception to these appointments,
claiming that the men who voted for
Palmer were not Democrats, and
that they could not legally be entitled
to hold positions upon the board to
which they were appointed. He has
therefore invoked the aid of the law
and appeals to the court to GUST
these gold Democrats, and give their
positions to those who supported the
regular candidate Of the party, Mr.
Bryan. 1t is of course impossible to
predict what the decision ofthe court
will be, but it is hoped that it may
be early rendered and of so compre-
henslve and convincing a character
as will settle this vexatious question
that has so long disturbed the
patriotic souls of the warning Democ-
racy. We want to be able to know
Democrat when We see him. IF
the Judge to whose Judgment this
| mOmentous question has been re-
ferred, renders a satisfactory decision,
| he will have earned the lasting
gratitude of his ellow-citizens of all
parties, and particularly Of that
class Of Democrats genuine, alleged
or quasi, as the case may be, at whom
his legal artillery is aimed. We all
want to know who the Democrats
are, and especially do the so-called
gold Democrats who bolted their
party nomination, and supported
Palmer, need to be informed who
they are, what they are, and where
they are at.
In the old days We used to know
| q Democrat when we saw him. There
was no mistaking him. His character
istics were distinct, prominent and
unvarying. He always shouted for
his party, and voted the straight
ticket. Now we are all at sea. A
man may claim to be q Democrat,
and yet bolt, vote third ticket. re-
frain from voting at all, or vote for
a Republican candidate. We shall
watch with much interest for the de-
| cision in this ase.-Madison Journal.

The Temple Annual cycle meet at the
Exposition Track yesterday afternoon
attracted quite a large gathering lnclud-
ing many ladies The trick was little
heavy, and a brisk wind blew in the faces
Of the riders on the last lap of the track.
This prevented the time OF some OF the
starters from being as creditable as IL
might have otherwise been. Still, some
very good records were made. and several
of the events were closely contested and
interesting.
The few drops OF rain that fell when
the races commenced did not materially
interfere with the meet. Each OF the
races was contested by riders who have
considerable reputation as brisk riders,
and one or two events were exciting.
The two mile lap was beautifully con-
tested event and created a great deal OF
interest. The one mile open against time
was a dead drive between Scnade, the
Southern champion, and Tfgnor, a local
rider with an enviable record.
The one half mile open proved an ex-
ceedingly interesting event, and estab-
lished the State record of 1:OL
