PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY.

The keystone to the arch of a
democratic form of government is
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent Of the
governed" This means that the
people shall select their officers
and it applies particularly to the
democratic party in nominating
candidates; where the leader shall
be chosen by the party and not be
thrust upon it. The party has
never made a mistake when it
sought the candidate instead of the
candidate seeking the party. The
party seeking the candidate has
made the Chicago convention the
most democratic OF all time. The
Kansas City convention simply
ratified the nomination of Bryan
made by the. party four years be-
fore and in the nomination of Ste>
venson it again showed real democ-
racy. Mr.. Stevenson had not the
least intimation that he would be
nominated. 1t was the office seeks
ing the man as it should be. The
man that is persistently seeking to
thrust himself upon the people as
their servant is almost without ex>
ception the man that should not
be chosen. If he is not content to
take his chances with his fellow
man his fellow man should not
take chance upon him.
We would that the democratic
party in conventions from the
highest to the lowest would emu
late the example Of the Kansas City
convention and we shall insist upon
this principle to the extent of-our
humble ability. We believe the
chronic officeseeker ought to be
omitted from the candidates select.

to that extent biased in Judgment

LIE ON THE FACE OF IT.

The craziest OF crazy yarns ap>
pear in republican papers which
seem to think that American voters
lack ordinary human brains. One
is that the Beers will contribute
81 100000 to the Bryan campaign
fund; another is that Aguinaldo
will contribute s. ,ooo, 900. The
poor, ragged fellows who are fight
ing desperately for their liberties in
South Africa's mountains need ev>
cry cent they can scrape up to carry
on their unequal war and to feed
the families left without bread>
winners. 1t is doubtful if Aguinaldo
and all his followers in the Philips
pines possess among them SO much
as 81 1000, 900 in money, and it is
proposterous to suggest that they
are able TO contribute a dollar to
any political purpose in this country
The truth is that tor every dollar
in the hands of the democratic, sill
yer republican and populist parties
the Hanna fat>frying machine will
supply twenty-or fifty if neces>
sary to the republican party. The
financial and industrial monopolies
fostered by the republican party, in
its present perverted condition, will
furnish an ocean of money for the
use of Mark Hanna. The Rocky
