1T IS an open question whether the

THE KENTUCKY BOLT.

Tho political revolt in Kentucky is a
protest against machine politics. against
that policy Of rule or ruin In spite Of the
wishes Of the people, and there IS a
warning in it 20 the political machine
In vain has the party whip been cracked
In vain has political boiling been de-
nounced as a political crime. There Nre
thousands OF Democrats in Kentucky
who believe that Goebel was nominated,
not by decree Of the people, but in spite
Of that decree, and they are determined
not 10 submit. The fight is on and it
will be continued to a finish.
In this instance. as in 1896 when Dem
ocrats refused to support the ticket nom
mated at Chicago. the shade of Thomas
Jefferson has been evoked and his doc
trine as to the rule of the majority has
been exploited. But while Thomas JEFF
orson was a good party man, and while
he believed i'm the rule Of the majority,
he was also an independent man and
acted for himself. In letter to one Of
his friends. he said: II am not a Fed
cralist. because / never submitted the
whole system Of my opinions to the creed
Of any party of men whatever, in relig-
ion, in philosophy. in politics. or in any
thing else where / was capable of think
ing for myself Such an addiction IS the
last degradation Of a free and moral
agent. If / could not go TO Heaven but
with a party, would not go there at
ALL"
It is very clear from this that even
Mr.. Jefferson thought that there was
time 10 bolt. that there was time when
every American free man should assert
himself in defiance Of the party lash.
We believe in political parties and We
believe in party organizations. We be-
neve that every American citizen should
have some fixed party amnation We
do not believe in mugwumpery. But
there is a difference between mugwump-
cry and political independence No man
should commit his conscience into the
keeping Of any political party. When
the party pursues course which he
honestly believes 10 be wrong. he cannot.
in self respect follow the party's lead
The boiling Democrats in Kentucky be
lieve that the Goebel convention was
revolutionary and subversive of every
Democratic principle Therefore they
refused TO stulufy themselves by sup
porting the Goebel ticket. They have
asserted their manhood and, for our
part, we do not believe that Kentucky
politics will be the worse for it. on the
contrary. We believe that this little po-
clearing the political atmosphere in the
Blue Grass State.
