DEMOCRACY'S PLIGHT.

The Bryan Democracy seem to be run
ming against hard luck. In place OF their
predictions of ruin, prosperity has come.
Instead of platform for mere effect as
they claimed the Republican platform of
| o6 was framed for, it has proved on IN
which the pledges have been fully redeem
ed Then they declared that territorial
expansion was against the traditional poll
cy of this country. and that the masses of
the people were againstit. But it has been
shown that the policy of the nation from
the first has been that of territorial expan-
sion, and that Democracy itself up to the
time ii become impregnated with Bryan
esque Populism, was the leading exponent
of such expansion Also that the indica-
tons point at every turn. that the masses
of the people instead of being against ex-
pansion, are largely favorable to it.
Then the Democratic leaders attempted
to stir up feeling over the surplus in the
treasury, something that never bothers the
treasury under Democratic rule, but just
as they were getting their diatribes against
it in working order, Secretary Gage spoilt
- Ill h., o~Ja the radapoptior of Cor
600, 900 of the national debt, reducing the
surplus in practical way. And so the
Democratic cry died a-bornin'. for objec-
tons to debt paying is not popular.
Then they hoped to make political CAPT.
tai out of the Cuban postal scandal but
the prompt and decisive action of the
president in relation thereto knocked the
foundation from under their feet, and
leaves them nothing that will help them
with the people.
They also hoped to turn votes their way
because of the Boer war, by holding that
it was the duty of the administration to in
terfere and stop the war, and now comes
the news that the British are in, or will be
within the next twenty four hours, Pre-
toria. and that the war is practically end.
ed. These are the principal points that
Bryan Democracy has been relying upon
for political capital in the campaign. They
have nothing practical to go before the
country upon no well-dehned policy which
will give the least promise of benefit to the
masses. They have not as yet been able
to give one satisfactory reason why the
country should dismiss the Republican
party from power and turn the nation over
to them, and from anything that has yet
come to the surface, their platform will
contain no good or substantial reason. but
will contain many reasons why they should
be denied the job of running the national
government.
