bic example this year of their die
pleasure, and during the past week
Auditor La Toilette and Treasurer
Kendall have both been punished for
daring to show some independence.
Kendall yielded to the inevitable and
permitted himself to be crowded out
of the race for denomination. He
aspired to Congress, however, but
when lie asked his own county Of
Wood to endorse him the bosses said
no, and he was turned down at his
own home. Then La Toilette, who
refused to obey the command to get
off the track, asked Taylor, his home
county, to instruct for him, but the
edict Of the ring was sent out against
him and he too was slaughtered.
Truly, the bosses are ruling with rod

We are quite sure that the REGIS
TER voices the sentiment of the party
when it says that the gold Democrats
and every other sort Of Democrat will
be welcome to vote at the approaching
primary election. Every sensible Dem
ocrat knows that the only hope Of
victory next fall is with a united par
ty, and we want to see harmony Of
the practical sort. The Democrats
who supported Palmer and Buckner
four years ago acted from principle
were thoroughly conscientious in the
position they took. We believe that
they are now anxious to line up with
the party, and we would give them a
warm welcome. Some mighty good
horses occasionally kick over the
traces. We wouldn't think much Of
the driver who would try to keep them
in that awkward and useless position
permanently.
