Democracy VS.. Exrnp,ENcr.

u Is amusing TO find republican papers
protesting to draw comfort from what thoy
characterize as split" in the democratic
party Of New York and exultingly predict
ing a great republican victory in the big
Empire state next year because of this
division" In tho democratic ranks.
It would seem from this exhibition of
republican feeling TINT New York was re-
sarded as absolutely necessary TO republl-
can success next year. in spite Of many
loud boasts that Organism" was dead and
the democratic party beyond the hope OF
resurrection
As matter OF fact. however. the regu-
lar democracy Is calculating on winning
its fight without any more substantial aid
from New York in 1900 than in 1896, Tho
party in 1895 deliberately sacrificed New
York to principle and stands ready 10 do
so again II necessary, The old days Of
mere cxpediency have gone. so far as the
democratic party Is concerned. Platforms
