GOD SPEED THE DAY.



We hope to see the democratic party
reOrgnnlzed with leaders ~ character
and sound judgment at lts head, for In
"A government like ours a strong Opposl-
ton party II healthful for the body po-
little provided It's leaders do not surrender
TO the forces Of socialism ana dlslnte-
grafton, Minneapolis Tribune rep),
The country has a real concern In hnv-
ing n strong and safe democratic party,
guided by sane leaders, The only hope
for the democrats II the trunk recOgnl-
tlOn that Bryanlsm IL dead BEYOND res-
direction ana the reorganization OF the
party, Invested Of silver, popullsm, 10
clalIsm aud led by strong, capable men
whose character ana standing are In
themselves platform and a rallylng
cry,-Phllndephln Ledger Wep),
In other words, you want demo-
cratic party M like the republican
party rs one pea Is Ike another Then
there will be two parties without n
prnclpe'-two parties without one
redccmlng Quolity-two parties held
together by the cohesive power OF
public plumber, The Nonconiormisi
hopes that you may get Just such II
party; that you will force out of 10
MIR. Bryan and every other decent,
honorable and progressive democrat
The people need the very men that
you don't want, The rerormers Will
never again trust the democratic
party even with Bryan in the leader
ship. Outside Of the old party "lIry'
anism" win he Il living Gorce-u mighty
power for good--insde the party II
liz only u sorrowing remembrance Of
what might have been,
J You think that II you can get both
OF the great parties under the control
of the plutocrGcy you can strongle
all the aspirations of the common
people for liberty, But here is just
where you are mistaken, The demo-
cratic party reorgNni2cd by the trusts
will not he great purity, Bryan has
educated too many democrats In the
science OF good government for there
ever again to be thorough union Of
the democratic voters.
The democratic party Is dead and 1t
ought to be buried before the smell
becomes mbeNrablc. Bryan, the
greatest democrat since Jefferson has
been betrayed and defeated by the
traitors in his own party and the self
same traitors are the very men who
are trying TO reorg0nize the party
in such manner that it may again
become II cownrdly beggar for the
crumbs that fall from the rich mans
table.
They think they can fire Bryan
from the leadership and still control
the honest voters of the democratic
party They can't do that thing,
Bryan is greater than all the other
leaders Of the democratic party COM
bincd, and the people will still con-
tinue to follow him, We hope that no
will lead them out Of the party and
we believe he viii be compelled to do
so.
We believe Ilryan'a career as a
partisan is ended, We expect to see
him occupy higher plane hereafter,
We expect TO see him as the leader Of
the common people, giving his great
talents and his wonderful eloqucncc
to the overthrow of plutocracy and
the pulling down Of the strongholds
of Satan in this country,
The reformcrs are n mighty host of
brave and sincere men; they come out
of the recent contest confident, hope
full and happy. They must get 10.
gether now in one solid compact, en-
thuslustic organization. One Of the
great parties had TO die before the
people could have fair chance and
The democratic party is dead and
damned The party Of Jefferson has
gone to its eternal home, but the prin-
ciples Of Jefferson, jackson and Lin
coin will shine brighter and brighter
until the perfect day.
All rcformcrs can agree ON two
great questions--drcct legislation
and public ownership-the former will
give every minor party Il chance to
obtain vote of the people on its pet
theory, and the latter will take every
public monopoly out of the hands of
the plunderers and place 1t in the
hands of the people,
Is II a name that is wanted for The
new organization? Can ii the "unjon
party" That is short. simple and eN-
pressyc. II is "union" OF those
who love their country; II "mion" Of
of many for the good Of each and all:
n "union" Of honest and earnest men
and women in the cause of the broth
erhood of man.
Let the Office holdeus and office
seekers go with the old parties and
let MS organize into the committee Of
public safety those men whose ambi-
ton it is TO save human liberty in
stead of saving fat Office for per-
sonal gain -Nonconformst Po.).
