The democrats of the legislature ar

The democrats of the legislature are
combining against the Des Moines
Leader, their leading democratic paper
of the state, and threaten to take their
patronage from it. 1t is not because
the Leader is not ably conducted, nor
because the editors are not honorable
men, but because as they say the Lead
er has quit advocating democratic
principles. Audubon county's Tom
Kelly is ringleader in the threatening
action against the Leader. Now the
Leaders only offense is its manage
ment is opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the present
ratio. They think they know what
democracy is and they don't think free
silver is a cardinal principle of the
party. 1t occurs to some who watch
ittds contest that the editors of that
able journal know more about demo.
cratic principles than do some of the
embryo statesmen who are trying to
make free silver democracy's only or
main issue.
