LET Us HAVE PEACE.

We hope that harmony will COW
prevail in the ranks of the Democracy
OF this county. The very decided
manner in which the organization was
sustained in the late county conven-
ton and the rebuke to those who
would have stirred up dissension ought
to be lesson to all in the future 1t
is the part of manliness to gracefully
submit to defeat; it is manifestation
of true courage to admit mistakes and
the wise man always profits Ivy cx
perience. There is no necessity for
the existing factions in the Democra-
tic party OF this county, and the con
tentions ought to cease. Our county
is in position to make great advances
in the near future in material point
of view and good government will con-
tribute to this result. Nothing can
injnre its prosperity more than polti-
cal w;angl S. Parties are nee ssary
under our form of government, and
party lines cannot be maintained I'M
less personal ambitions are made sccon-
dairy to party principles, and the cause
OF good government paramount to all.
Party organization rests upon loyalty
to principles, and those who are true
will in due time be recognized

THE LAW RESPECTED.

When a majority of the County
Commissioners voted to ignore the
road i:;v we expressed the hope that
they might he induced to reconsider
their action. Under the pressure of
public opinion and the threat of law
suit they have rescinded their former
order and appointed tie Road Com
missioners. The county is to be con-
graduated; the taxpayers are to be
congratulated, for there is nothing
in the law that is hostile to the inter
csts OF any body, rich or poor. The
same amount of money will annually
be spent upon the roads, but instead
of being used in manner fifty years
behind the times and contrary to all
The rules of business and economy, it
will be spent in way that will pro-
duce the best results; and surely good
public roads are blessing to all who
have to use them.

DECLARATIONS OF
PRINCIPLES.

The platform adopted hy the State
Convention is an able document It
touches upon all the great issues Of the
present campaign, and while it does
not endorse the Chicago platform it
commcnds the Hon. William J. Bryan
as the chosen leader by popular will Of
all who favor the Republic and oppose
the Empire.
We carnot give the platform in full
but quote as follows:
'Thc reunited Democracy of Mary

of the State temporarily lost to lis four
years ago by reason of tlivisions-now

Union, and pledge to them our hearty
cooperation in the patriotic work OF
rescuing our Federal Government from
the dangers with which it is menaced
by continuance of the revolutionary
policy of President Mckinley and his
Supporters.
