The American" gives warning that Nashyllles
representation in party conventions is in dan
ger OF being reduced by the light vote, ana IL
calls on Democrats TO arouse themselves simply
10 maintain their own influence in the party.
not that there is any possibility OF Democratic
defeat in Tennessee 1t asks what the matter
can be- but does not attempt TO answer its own
question.
The answer is found In many other papers
however A prominent New-Orleans Journal
which supports Mr. Bryan this week publishes
long article THE Prosperity of the Farmer
which. after quoting prices of what he buys and
sells. SAYS: 1T is no wonder that the farmers
ARE enjoying most prosperous season. Most
''of their products are selling at higher prices
while many of the supplies they purchase are
cheaper This is an ideal situation from a
farmers standpoint. and he is prohting by IL
80 the fullest extent" No wonder, indeed that
he is not stirred up by Mr.. Bryan's demagogic
appeals TO his envy of men who, engaging IN
business involving the risk of millions, get rch
faster than he does if they succeed at all! An
otber answer is 10 be found in the daily admis-
sions of Southern papers that they have no
heart in either anti-imperialism or free silver.
Some of them openly repudiate both and make
fun of Mr.. Bryan's constitutional arguments
Under such circumstances there can be no
enthusiasm in Nashville or anywhere else III
the Southern States were not firmly tied TO the
Democratic party as name, no matter what 1t
stands for or who leads il. there would be
complete overthrow OF Mr.. Bryan in that region.
As IT is, however, a few voters will languidly
and hall. heartedly determine the voice of those
States. and will be as effective on the final
result as double the number of men elsewhere
who have earnest convictions. The idea that
Mr. BRYAN really has ANYTHING like a majority
of the people supporting him on any or all Of
his issues is utterly fallacOus. Even if elected
he would get half his electoral vote from States
whose people believe neither in him nor his
doctrines and are utterly apathetic TO his can
didacy

convinces them that nothing but the hope of
contributing by such means to the defeat OF
the Republican Administration and its policy in
spires the insurgents to keep up until the end
of the political campaign in this country con-
test which they will abandon so soon as Nc
Kinley is reelected, and which has already
passed into the stage of hideOus atrocities.
So far from there being any improperly in
Professor Worcesters declaration of facts of
which he has special and accurate knowledge,
there is a strong obligation of patriotism rest
ing on the members of the Commission TO show
by what methods and with what hopes their
work of justice and mercy is cruelty retarded,
so far as they may consider such revelations
not TO he prejudical to the public welfare. 1t is
unhappily impossible TO doubt that there are
supporters of Mr.. Bryan, open secret, who
are capable of rejoicing in this account of his
campaign in the Philippines with its terrorism
and torture of helpless natives; but we do not
believe that they constitute more than a small
minority even of his own party.

REpUBLIcANs FOR CoNGREss.

In selecting his candidates for Congress in
this part of the State Mr.. Croker has been even
less consderate than usual of the true interests
of this great centre of commerce, manufactur
ing and business of every sort Because the
Tammany candidates were so successful In 1893
he seems to have made up his mind that any
sort of lumber, no matter how worm eaten,
would satisfy the voters in local districts
He may have his eyes opened when the ballots
come in Election Day.
Go over the list of the Democratic candidates
throughout the southern part of the Empire
State, and in almost every instance it appears
plainly that the nomination has been given by
Mr.. Croker without regard TO qualifications for
public service. and that the Republicans who
are in the field are much better adapted for use
funess in Washington than their Democratic
rivals can ever be. In 1898 Tammany made a
wonderful sweep from Sandy Hook to Yonkers,
but this year with the vigorous campaign which
the Republicans are making. the delegation to
the National capital from this prosperous me-
tropolis ought to be Of far higher character
than that which holds the New-York seats in
the present Congress.

CONCERNING THE cOFFEr CASE.


The recent decision of the Court of Appeals
in the case of Michael J. Coffey has excited
much interest and some controversy The court
divided on the question at issue. three Judges
sustaining the right of the Democratic General
Committee to drive Coffey from official place in
the organization, because he had refused to sup
port one of the candidates the party ticket
and four denying that right. The Brooklyn
Eagle" which does not approve the decision
makes this comment on the views and motives
of some who do:
The Eagle" has maintained that the four are
logically wrong and the three logically right
OF course, all admit that what the four announce
will be the law until the Legislature changes it.
The New-York Tribune Times and Evening
Post" seem to uphold the four more because
their decision was for Coffey a trouble maker
than because it was right in itself. THE Eagle"
is much at variance with the Democratic
General Committee here as those other naners
can be. But The Eagle" by DENYING 10 anv
organization the possession of the protective
power of expulsion. would regard itself as at
variance with justice and with sense in their
consistent and continuous course in human af-
fairs.
What the motives of others may be or how
knowing THE Eagle" may be in reading their
thoughts we do not attempt to judge But we
are able to say for ourselves that Coffey's abil-
ity as trouble maker had nothing whatever To
do with our opinions expressed in approval Of
the law. as interpreted by the Court of Appeals
The Tribune's long standing record as an advo
cate Of free party government forbade If IN tol,a
any other than a favorable view of a decision
bringing one step nearer the control of partias
by their voters rather than by their officials
For years we have been fighting for the idea
that political party organization was merely a
representative body in which each committee
man was perfectly free to hold and act on his
own views, subject to the requirements of The
law defining party membership and the limit Of
its obligations, and subject to the will of tho
voters OF his district 10 whom alone he was
responsible, and not to other committeeman or
an outside party boss
That Is not the theory of the bosses OF either
party They have adopted mOnarchical theory
in place of the republican plan. and assert their
preroghtiYe to punish members OF the organl
zation who do not obey their will Mr.. Croker
took that attitude toward Mr. Sheehan. Mr.
Plat toward Mr.. Gruber and Mr.. McI.aurhI,n
toward Mr.. Coffey. They assume to decide
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-10-27

what party duty is. and TO isolate" those who
refuse TO accept their dctation. The law, how
ever, gives them no such power. and it could
not give them any such power without practi-
cally destroying democratic institutions; for
under our system parties control our Govern
ment. and unless the individual citizens can act
freely within the parties and make their viii
felt through them they are utterly deprived OF
all voice In their government. The law requires
party men to support generally" the candi-
dates of their party and specially protects citi-
Gems from prescription for asserting their indie
pendence within certain limits. Beyond those
limits they cease to be members OF the party,
but so long as they remain members OF the
party they are entitled TO hold any office in IT
that their fellow partisans may choose them to
fill. regardless OF the comfort or satisfaction of
party leaders. Any other rule would give the
masses of a party bound hand and foot over TO
an oligarchy OF self-perpetuating bosses who
could discipline out OF the organization all who
refused to obey their dictation.
