assuming shape; but already we find that
these questions are not so much party
questions as matters of individual judg-
ment, and that both parties within them
selves differ as to the proper solution.
Really, summing the whole matter up,
it seems to us that not within the recol-
lection of the average voter has there
been time when so few direct partizan
issues have been before the people as at
the present day; which is only another
manner OF saying that most of the old
questions have been settled, and settled
according to the ideas of the republican
party, and a present there is nothing
distinctive for the old time democrat to
fight for or about-except perhaps-that
he always has fought the republican
party-and from habit perhaps always
will. Ofcourse in this discussion we
have not touched upon the status of the
Bryan party who have only one issue.
That issue has still life enough to be an
issue within that party and that issue will
be nominated as candidate for president
at the next Bryan convention, but after
election day following that also will be a
dead issue-but we take it that most old
time democrats will not shed many tears
at the funeral.

MR.. LnsT1Kow's SEND OFF.

The Grafton News and Times gives
Mr.. Lestikow, who last week parted COM
pany with the News aud Times POLITICAL
ly, the following pleasant and compli-
mentarv send off:
tits the tendency of things, in the new
conditions that have bren created by the
combination of colossal financial interests
to control the government of the nation.
that men of great wealth should be
brought together by the attraction of a
common interest-just as the profession
ding are held together by the cohesive
power Of public plunder." For our part.
we believe that the safety, the welfare
and the dignity of the American republic
lie with the common people. We stay
with the party and the policies that place
the man before the mlllionaires, the mass
es before the classes, and the eternal
truths proclaimed in the Declaration of
independence before the sordid expedi-
encies that prostitute the interests Of the
nation to the greed of Wall street specu-
lators, and of the trust robbers who, un
der the present administration, are throt.
tling every interest of the people, and
laying every interest under tribute to
their unsuitable cupidity and rapacity."'
Then of course the inference is that Mr..
Lestikow, who is fairly we'll of, has
changed his politics for that reason, and
that he now believes in trusts, hates the
Declaration of Independence, is in favor
of classes against the masses, of sordid
expediances, prostitution, and throttling
industries, etc. etc., and is otherwise a
particularly. besotted, bigotted darn fool
generally.
Perhaps Mr.. Lestikow is just as dishon.
est, and just as big fool as the News
and Times says he is. The News and
Times ought to know. But it, with 9TH
er democrats of Walsh county and the
entire state. have repeatedly acknowledge
ed by giving Mr.. Lestikow leading posi-
tions in their circles, that he was superior
to most of them. However, if this is the
case, where do the News and Times and
other aforettme followers of Mr.. Lestikow
appear?

DEAD ISSUES.

0&A0 400OG0s
There are thousands ofdemocrats who
at heart feel like Mr.. Lestikow. In briet,
his reasons for his change from the dem.
ocratic party are these:
1. The financial question is settled.
2. The tariff issue has practically solv.
ed itself.
3. Expansion is necessity to our
growing trade and natural resources.
Mr.. Lestikow only voices the senti-
ments of thousands of democrats who
feel Just as he does but hesitate to sun
der old political affiliations from natural
and personal reasons. The two original
great issues that separated the republican
and democratic parties were slavery and
protection. The question of slavery was
taken from politics and settled on the
field of battle.
The question of protection of Ameri-
can industry, through our boundless
resources, through the ingenuity and
energy of our mechanics, and as, repub-
licans believe, with the assistance of a
protective tariff, has already largely
solved itself, for in almost every branch
of manufacture, to-day not only is the
home market fully and completely sup
piled with wares of American make, but
at prices that defeat all foreign competi-
ton. And not only is the home market
supplied but America is stretching
abroad for foreign trade and meets and
completes with increasing success with
the old nations of Europe in many
branches of trade. And protection.
whether right or wrong, in theory, can
not or could not accomplish an thing
greater in most lines of manufacture
than is now fact.
AS for the silver dollar issue, we have
been on gold basis since 1873 and
every fact and circumstance from the
defeat Of Bryan to the late declaration of
congress, points to the continuance of
gold as the financial unit.
True the late war has brought in new
issues. but as yet, hardly one of these
has assumed such definite shape that it
can as yet be considered as distinct
party issue or principal. While 'expan-
sion" as sort of indefinite ogre has
been urged by some of the democrats,
mostly from natural partizan desire to
embarass the party in power, yet expan-
sion in itself is already dead issue. for
nearly all sensible people long ago ac-
knowledged that whether right or wrong
expansion" was fact :consummated,
and not theory for the future.
That the peculiar status of our new
possessions will in the future involve
many questions Of interest and perhaps
perplexing problems is doubtless true;
and some Of these questions are already
