Under the head OF Nuts for Huffman
to Crack" numerous extracts are given
from democratic papers over the state,
showing heavy democratic losses and
republican gains. including the defeat
OF the entire democratic ticket In strong
democratic counties All this trouble is
attributed to the neglect and incompe-
tency of Huffman. In this connection
the following Is quoted from the Du-
buque Herald:
The democratic party in nation,
state and locally needs wiser leader
ship. 1t has suffered defeat because
1t has chosen leaders in whom the great
mass OF the people have no confidence.
The time has come when the party
must undergo surgical operation that
will eliminate from its organization the
diseased and effete matter it has taken
on
Perhaps the most significant OF Mr.
Belvels warnings to his fellow Demo
Gratis is the one which points out the
folly of the democratic policy Of keep
ing up sectional lines between the north
and the south. Many soldiers Of the
rebellion" says Mr.. Belvel, who have
been voting with the democratic party
are beginning to talk of drawing the
line somewhere near the one known as
Mason and Dixon's line. They do not
like to contemplate that they are vot-
ing almost exclusively with the fellows
who shot at them in 1865. The demo-
cratic party must so arrange matters
that the name of some of the northern
states at least will appear in Its col
umn hereafter or the soldier vote can
not be retained by it,
He quotes in point from the Chicago
Record, which says:
Men OF affairs, men Of property, men
of brain and conscience must be CALLED
back to leadership. 1t Is not crime in
this country to have money, property
or a clean shirt and that without ar
rogance, without malice, without de-
parture from truth In the smallest de-
gree, 1t should be said and said plainly
that the people OF the north are better
fitted by character, by y4intelligence and
by industry than those Of any other
section to rule this government. They
have ruled it for forty years and moth
4 ing Is more impressively written in the
book of fate than the fact that they are
to rule it for many generations yet to
come. In the south the so-called demo-
cratic party is a monstrous pretense, a
mere survival OF race hatred, actuated
by no other controlling sentiment, and
i subject, as matter of .course under
such conditions, to llIpulsiyes and Ill.
4 considered movements in one direction
or another as this or that delusion may
Il sieZe upon its members. For fifty
years before the slavery war the dem
4 ocracy Of the south had no controlling
purpose but to keep the negro in bond
4 age and to extend the system to new
Il states and territories. For the thirty
4 years since the slavery war the dem
j ocracS of the south has had no great
aim but to prevent the negro from ex.
ercising the rights OF citizenship
These conditions bore their natura
fruit. first in the development of thu
a undemocratic spirit OF tyranny and Sc.
a cession and second in the encourage.
