THE SOUTH AND DEMOCRACY.

OF the Washington psf that the time has

grcss were suffered to dictate platforms
and policies. Principles were gradually oh.
secured and cxpediency. designed TO secure
Il few deGnociratic victories here and there
In the North, was substituted as the party
policy. s.
Before 1896 this policy had begun to bear
bitter fruit Ia the South. Thousands of old
tfnie democrats went OF in the populist
movement aud democratic, even white, SUI
premacy wss endangered in several Of the
Southern States. At Chicago In 1896 the
South, aided By tho West, did, ibdeei, ''as-

right one OF domination" But no. sooner

The Eastern democracy, to which the South
he'd triirkled so long, revolted ind aided
IN placing thc once comrnon enemy in
power. 1t was d poor return Tor the long
time eubserviency and unqnestioning fl
deity of the South. But tho disappore-
ment and resentment OF that wing OF the
democracy did not stop there-the hostility
to Southern domltsAion has broken out
afi'esh and mas but recently sought to de-
pose Southern leaders and smother the Is
sues of 1886 with a view to returning TO the
old policy OF nake.shift campaigns.

yention of 1900 will be dominated by the

power of party control in 1896 from tina
Eastern wing and transferred i. where il
