A"s. The Democracy Of Washington is
struggling to the armer soil Of 'Jetfer-
sonlan Democracy" There have been
Democrats in great plenty during the
weeks following the last election who have
pointed out the causes that led TO the de-
.eat OF fusion III Washington Each has
followed his diagnosis o. the case with a
prescription for remedy for the deoili-
lated Democratic party. Now comes
George Hazard. better known as Thank
God Hazard. who yesterday, with char
acterisflc yeneraence OF expression, said
that the sole salvation Of the Democratic
party OF Washington lay IN Its swift re-
| turn 10 the principles Of Thomas Jefferson
The Post-Inteiligencer has already
shown, simply a matter Of news and
| without intending 10 influence the future
| action OF the Democrats themselves, that
the leaders Of she party were planning =
reorganizatioE-in other words, "a new
| Democracy as distinguished from the or
| ganization that vas formerly merged with
the Popu,ists under the fusion arrange
| rnent. THE Democracy OF Thomas JefYer
| son" is now the shibDoie,h of the Demo-
| cratic politicians of this county and OF the
state who are seeking 10 work out q re-
/ generation of the party.
Few Democrats in Washington are bet
| ter known throughout the state than

| III. Gilman of Seattle, and Chester II.

/ leaders OF the party. Hazards espousal

| York. his bitter hatred Of Cleveland and
| Of CIAveland's representative in Washing
ton. Hugh G.. Wallace have furnished COL

The hope OF the Democracy OF Washing

/ Feat OF fusion. It's easy enough to point
out mistakes after they are made Let
| the Democrats Of Washington get together
on a ground on which they can all stand.
What DO you mean by Jeffersonian De-
| mocracy?"
| Il mean simply these principles: First.
equality before the law: second. anti
| Capitalization Of the power or the Feoerai
| government in behalf OK the states; third.
| incidental protecticn: and. fourth ana last,
| territorial expansion.

misled principally by his determination 10
set aside the ancient and honorable Demo
| cratic doctrine OF incidental protection and
| indirect taxation and 10 establish in the
| place of these two Fundamental princi-
| pies of the Democracy OF Jefferson free
| trade and direct taxation by the general
| government. As result. he brought about
| the panic of IS.j, which caused more Wide

| rebellion Of Jefferson Davis. We all know
what the war OF the rebellion cost this
