MEREDITH'S TRIUMPH.

Although Mr. Meredith was defeated for
city attorney because the party leaders
had determined to make an example Of
him. it is gratifying to know that many
members of the Council voted for him in
defiance Of the party mandate. and while
partisan politics triumphed over the mer
it system, it was by a slender majority.
Mr.. Meredith gave a splendid account
OF himself before that caucus and he
has reason to be proud indeed of the po-
sitlon that he occupied and Of the high
tributes that were paid to him. And
these tributes came not only from his
supporters, but from the opposition. MI
Turpin. who made a strong speech against
Mr. Meredith, began his remarks, ac-
cordlng to the newspaper reports by
having the highest kind Of tribute to
Mr.. Meredith's ability, integrity and thor
ough knowledge Of the law" MIR. Mere
dith." he went on, sis a manly man and
always strikes above the belt. When ne
could not support Bryan he said so, and
that was Mr.. Turpin's reason for retus-
ing to support Mr. Meredith. lie pro-
claimed him to be q lawyer Of great aoil-
ity. a man OF the strictest integrity OF
character a manly man who struck
above the belt, who had the courage OF
his convictions. who not only refused to
support Mr.. Bryan, but proclaimed to all
the world that he would not do So But
an spite Of all this Mr.. Turpin declared
that he could not cast his vote for Mr..
Meredith and urged the Council TO turn
him out OF office.
That Is practical politics. That Is party
discipline. that is party regularity. That
is the sort OF thing that makes successfui
politicians. But we submit that 1t does
not tend to develop American manhood
Meredths defeat in this instance was
the greatest triumph Of his life.

ppvAN SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE.

1t is not often that we have found our
selves in accord with the political views
OF the Hon. william ]. Bryan, but In his
speech al the Trans Mississippi EXPOSE
ton two days ago. he gave voice to GER
tain sentiments in connection with the
war with Spain that have our most
hearty approval
We cannot forbear to quote the follow
ing extract from the speech, as reported
in one OF our exchanges. 1t Is not at all
inappropriate in these columns, although
spoken by one with WHOM We have radi-
cally differed on questions OF national
policy Said Mr.. Bryan:
History will vindlcate the position
taken by the United States in the war
with Spain In saying this. l assume that
the principles which were invoked in the
inauguration OF the war will be observed
I'm It's prosecution and conclusion. If
contest undertaken for the sake Of hui
mantiy degenerates into war OF con-
quest. we shall find 1t difficult 20 meet
the charge Of having added hypocrisy 10
greed. Is our national character so weak
that we cannot withstand the temptation
TO approprate the first piece of land that
comes within our reach?
To infilct upon the enemy all possible
harm As legitimate warfare, but shall we
contemplate scheme for the colonization
of the Orient merely because our fleet
won a remarkable victory in the harbor
Of Mania?
our guns destroyed Spanish feet.

sErrERsoxs GREAT CONCEPTION

Happy theme that which Armistead
Gordon selected for inauguration ode at
the University OF Virginia. and those who
heard and those who read the poets lines
have caught something of'the inspiration
Which moved the poet.
"The gift OF God is freedom" eye
shall know the truth and the truth shall
make you free" Never had institution
Of learning nobler or more appropri-
ate motto. Education and religion have
always gone hand in hand.
Slavery is not alone OF chains. who
soever committed sin IS the servant OF
sin" Whosoever is Ignorant whosoeer
IS superstitious. whosoever Is narrow
minded bigotted. the same is a slave. 1t
IS religion and education that reveal the
truth. and it is he who cultlvales his
mind and his heart and rules himself, his
passions. his appetites. his prejudices
that is the true freeman. Give me that
man that is not passions slave, and l
will wear him in my hearts core, yea
IN my heart Of hearts, as l do thee Ho-
ratio"
The Declaration Of Independence is re-
garded by the world as the greatest work
OF Thomas jefferson. 1t is a great thing
for a nation to be free. and there is no
freedom like American freedom which
Thomas Jefferson and his contemporaries
gave us
But Mr.. jefferson did more than this
for virginia. lie was not only the author
OF the Declaration OF Independence. but
also Of the statute Of religious liberty in
Virginia and the father Of the University
OF virginia. Mr.. Jefferson had been
living witness Of the narrowpess and
bigotry of his time. and when he conceiv-
cd the idea OF a free people he deter
mined 10 give them complete emancips-
ton. freedom Of thought as well as free
dom of action, freedom in the religious
world as well as in the political world.
The national Declaration OF Independence
was not enough. He declared also that
the people Of Virginia should have the
right to worship God in their own way
that each man should be the custodian vt
his own conscience and he decreed also
that there should be a great institution
Of learning. that the intellect might be
expanded. that the youth Of Virginia
might learn the true source of all liberty.
And right well did he succeed. Almost
completely did he stamp out religious
intolerance, and as for the institution that
he founded not only has it become great
and noble and far-famcd. but every
student that has lived within its classic
walls has csugt the inspiration Of Jeffer-
sonian liberty that seems to permeate the
very air OF Monticello. SO much so that
IL is a notorious fact that the University
Of Virginia never has had rules that OBJ
tain I'm other institutions. There is an
unwritten law that every man shall con-
duct himself in society, in college, in the
class room, in examination as an honor
able gentleman. That is the only rule.
hut Il is a rule all-suficient and rarely
has IL been violated.
When Thomas Jefferson established
that great institution he breathed into
it the breath of life and stamped upon
1t his own personality which remains to
this day, and which will ever remain TO
differentiate It from all other educational
institutions of the world.

AN INSPIRING ADDRESS.

We print elsewhere an address from
the Sound-Money Democrats Of Penn
sylvania, which is truly refreshing. 1t
starts out with the declaration that the
Sound Money Democrats of that State
have "a fixed purpose to hold no COM
promise with Populism nor surrender
their Democratic principles to the Repub-
Iican party policies. but firmly adhere to
the platform Of the Indianapolis conven-
ton Of 1896 and the doctrines which have
governed the Democratic party in the
past, when jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Jackson, Tiden and Cleveland led the
party to its best victories"
They declare boldly that gold alone
is the safe standard Of value" and they
come out with equal boldness for re-
peal Of the 10 per cent. tax on State
bank issues. so as TO enable the banks
to provide necessary local currency for
local trade within the lawful scope OF
their charters.
The platform which they have adopted
from one end TO the other IS sound
Democracy. and is inspiring. The In
dianapolis Democrats have nothing to re-
gret. and no apologies TO make for the
course that they pursued in 1896. They
stood firmly by their principles, they
stand by them to-day. and we believe
that as surely as the republic shall last
the principles which they have preserved
will again be the fundamental principles
OF the National Democratic party Read
the Pennsylvania platform. II you are
a true Democrat 1T will do you good.
