FOR DEMOCRATIC UNITY.
The Washington Post of yesterda

The Washington Post of yesterday
| prints the following in its news columns:
President Cleveland utterances about
the future of Democracy have struck
sympathetic chords among some pronli-
| rent Democrats in Congress who are not
quite ready yet to deciare themselves
publicly In fact, there has been some
chagTin that Mr.. Cleveland should have
sounded note that certain House Demo-
Gratis, Who have been training with the
regu:nr free silver faction of the party,
intended to sound themselves.
This much is certain as far as most of
the minority leaders at the Capitol are
concerned. They hope for 4 full and COM
pete reconciliation between the two fac
tons before another campaign is on. They
recognize the fun force of all that Mr..
Cleveland says One of the leading Dem
oSratS IN the House - even now prepar-
ing @ speech, which he will deliver as
soon as the proper occasion comes, en-
phaSZlng the desire for harmony and fer
getting together ON new lines, and shak-
ing loose from the Populistic associations
of the past four years.
Very naturally the Bryan Democrats,
who call themselves regular. desire that
this shall De done with as little sucr.tice
Of dignity to themselves and with as little
credit to the other wing of the party as
possible. 1t is felt that there is no call
LOT unseemly haste in the matter as the
iicAI important campaign is two years off,
puI the amaaSamaton will undoubtedly
proceed gradually and with the full ap-
pToNai OF both sides
me feature of the situation is that the
BRYAN men want harmony and unity just
as much us the Cleveland mon. and from
TINS tune on are likely to work just as
earnestly for a regenerated party Mr.
bryan late lieutenamts viii shape their
utterances to that end, and the rInk and
file are akeiy TO follow them.
II the plan is good it matters not who
makes it. What Democracy needs is a
platform upon which all Democrats can
conscientiously stand The party may not
want to nominate MIR. Cleveland in 1904
but If the party can gather wisdom from
him it will be very foolish not to DO So
The question to be considered is as to
whether or not Mr.. Cleveland has pointed
out the way If so, Democrats should
walk therein, and that's all there is ABOUT
ii.
1t is very certain that the great body of
Democrats In the East and the South are
opposed to Organism and want to purge
the party of It. In this connection we call
attention TO the significant election returns
from the South. In 1886 the States of Ala
hama. Arkansas, Florida. Georgia, Louis
lana. Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia
polled 1.4Sj. 100 Democratic votes; in 1900
with an increased population. these same
States pollcd FOR the Democratic nominee
o.. OK Ia
not enough TO open the eyes of Southern
Democrats. then these Democrats do not
know an object lesson when they see it.

the true inwardness Of things there he
learned that men were just as selfish
| there as anywhere else, and that all were
struggling with might and main. each
one 10 get ahead of the other. 1t has
been so from the beginning of the world
everywhere, and 1t win be so to the end
OF time everywhere. Greed, se!tis.ness,
the desire of each man to better his con-
dition are the mainsprings of the business
of the world, they are at the bottom OF
most OF the advances that civilization Sc
cures. and without them we should have
a fiat and stale dead level that would soon
set us all 10 going down hill towards the
perdtion OF idleness without an inspiring
motive
we believe Mr. Cleveland KNOWS, at any
rate ne ought to know, that we cannot
retain steam and electricity with the fierce
competition that they force and live in the
Arcadian simplicity that he pictures. He
knows that men will inevitably compete
if they have the opportunities that steam
and electricity furnish. Why rail- at con-
litions then? Why not rail at The true
cause of the clange-stean and electri-
city? Is Mr.. Cleveland prepared to give
them up II he is not, he should cease
talking about Arcadia.

lands address gave us the following cable
