The Press on the Election,
FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

FUTURE or THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Springfield Republican.
"Will the Democratic party" asks a
New York paper, now be restored to
the control Of its reason and it's con-
science, and furnish once more a real OPP
position? Much depends upon what is
meant by cts reason and it's conscience"
If reason and conscience" mean COM
plete acquiescence in imperialism, mill
tarism and the unrestrained reign of in
dustrial monopoly, then the Democratic
party as whole will probably never re-
turn to the control of it's reason" and it's
conscience" Part of it may return, but
not all of it,
The future of the Democratic party, it
seems, is already the theme of specula
ton. No one can pretend to forecast it's
development. There are many and va
ried possibilities. The parallel of the
liberal party in Great Britain would in
dictate that, with the imperialistic spirit
unchecked the Democratic party may
break into fragments. There are signs
of this already. The gold Democrats con-
tain a large proportion of imperialists,
while the South, solid enough on Tuesday,
may contain altogether too much genu-
inc imperialistist spirit and too much ma
tive contempt for inferior races to be
kept long in support of an anti-imperial-
istic program.
Or take the question of plutocracy, one
of the greatest Of the future. Will the old
Democratic party ever again form a COM
pact organization on that issue? Is it pos
sible for the Democracy of Whitney, Cor
man, Fairchild and Charles r. Flint ever
to harmonic again with that of Mr. Bry-
an and Senator Tillman, so long as in
dustrial monopoly and the growth of the
class spirit continues in America?
Some people are asking what will now
become of Mr.. Bryan? AS a question of
politics, that has very slight relative i'm
portance The real question is whether
the fundamental issues which formed the
heart and soul of the Democratic cam
paign this year have been settled forever
in this country by the Republican major
tiles Upon the survival of those issues
in the minds of great masses of Ameri
cans will depend the character of the
future development of the Democratic
party. Only one thing seems fairly sure.
Any effort to make the party conform tC
the imperialism, militarism and unre-
strained monopolistic spirit of some of its
| former leaders and adherents would rend
| it again, and probably increase amazingly
the political power of socialism in the
| United States.

NO MAN LIKE HIM.

When the news came that the sup
portersl of Mr.. Bryan had carried the
Legislature of Nebraska by eleven
majority on joint ballot the Demo-
Gratis all over the country looked to
see Mr.. Bryan elected to the Senate.
Without moments hesitation he die
tated this telegram:
''You may say officially that under
no circumstances would [ accept the
office of United States Senator, even
were it rendered me. | made my fight
for the Presidency and l lost. am
not going to take other mems posi-
tions from them.
"WILLIAM J. BRYAN"
That was like Bryan. He is as I'M
selfish and as noble a man as this
country has produced. 1t was said of
Henry Grady that she died loving the
nation into peace Bryan lives to set
an example not only of craftsmanship,
but of the highest unselfishness.
There is no man like him or equal to
him living today.

WHAT DEMOCRACY STOOD FOR
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
In this contest the Democratic party
has stood for the interests of the plain
people, Arrayed against it have been the
trusts and the vast influence which they
exert, the corporate wealth of the coun-
try, an army of officeholders, and all
others whose selfish interests have been
pronounced by Republican legislation
All who have received favors in the past,
all who expected favors in the future,
exerted the various influences at their
command to perpetuate the power of the
Republican party The Democratic party
had no friends of this character to
assist it in the contest for equal rights,
in the protection of the masses from the
Entertainments of monopoly and in the
maintenance of this Republic as the
champion of liberty in all lands. 1t had
no friends with big purses to buy vic
tory for it in consideration of future ia
vors. 1t has fought the battle of the
people with no other resources than those
which it derived from the strength of it's
cause. 1t has stood for definite princi-
ples-for justice, humanity and fair play.
It has asked no favors and it has prom
ised none.

IT WORKS WELL IN LOUISIANA

Take out the negro vote and the
Carolina by 100000 majority and elect
ed all nine of the members of Con-
gress. When the amendment goes into
effect in 1902, the negro will be elm
mated and the same result will follow
in North Carolina Except in few
Western counties) that has come to
pass in Louisiana. OF the election on
Tuesday the New Orleans Picayune,
after stating that the Democrats car
ried every district, says:
THE net result proves that even
with the negro eliminated from poll
tics Louisiana is a reliable Democratic
State and that the much-heralded new
Republican movement has been abor-
tive. The Republican opposition, such
as it was. served, however, to stlmu-
late Democratic energies and rally to
the party standard many who would
otherwise have stayed away from the
rolls under the belief that their aid
was unnecessary.
The friends Of the constitutional
amendment will be glad to see that it
continues to work well in Louisiana.
Let the Republicans BOAST now of what
they will do. In 1902 their name will
be Dennis The scene of the negroes
kissing the ballot box goodbye on
election day in Newton shows that the
Republicans will be shorn of their
great strength. And when the negro
leaves. they will lose hundreds of pie
hunters who have depended upon the
negro vote.

the voters who were opposed TO the
Constitutional amendment. In the
east and central section of the State
these opponents We're in the main
Populists and in the west they We're
Republicans. They seem to have voted
for Mckinley and the Republican cam
didates for Congress as protest
against the passage Of the amendment.
If this is true, they are not Republic
cans, and when the amendment has
gone into effect and they see that it
DISTINGUISHES no white man, most of
them may be expected to return to
the Democratic party.

ALI Are Improving,

DR.. Crawford, editor of the North Caro-

DR.. Bell, the physician in charge, that
there are only few cases of sickness
now in the State Normal College. The
typhoid fever patients are all improving,
and three of Them are convalescent. The
Doctor says he is quite sure the fever
was contracted by the young ladies before

MOSES COULDN'T HAVE WON
Wilmington Star.

What other issue Chan Imperialism and
trusts could we have found, or if we
had found it how could we have prevented
the Republican leaders from lodging it
and digging into the ground and resur-
recting some other issue, as they have
been doing ever since the war between
the States?
In view of previous campaigns and
the one preceding the election Of Tuesday
it is nonsense, we repeat to talk OF
'other issues" or other candidates. The
fact is if we had taken the Decalogue
as our platform and Moses as our candi-
date, things being as they are now, with
Mark Hanna's methods. Mark Hanna's
campaign fund, and the elements of popu-
lation that he had to manipulate they
would have beaten us. the Decalogue and
Moses.

The Senatorial primary developed some
unpleasant features; but it may be ac-
copied as a fact that but for the addi
tional Democratic vote brought out by the
primary in the Third and Fifth Congress

would have been defeated.

What The War Records Have Cost.

In special report to the secretary
of war, General +. G. Aiusworth
shows that the sum of $2,6Io,62I
has been expended to date IN the
compilation and printing of the offic-
ial records of the Union and Con-
federate armies since that work was
commenced in 1877, says the Wash
ington Star. The distribution of
these records by the War Depart
ment was begun seventeen years
ago. Under the law each senator
in the Forty-seventh Congress was
entitled to twenty.six copies and
each representative and delegate to
twentv-one copies for distribution to
libraries, organizations and individ-
uals, but many of them have failed
to take advantage of their privilege,
so that now there are 81, 900 surplus
copies stored in the War Depart
mcnt.
General Ainsworth says that it is
impess,ble.to meet the demand with
outlmti,er legislation by Congress.
To relieve the war department from
further embarrassment he recon-
mends that Congress authorize the
secretary of war to reprint a suffie,i
number of volumes to complete
about one thousand sets. II that is
done, he srys, one set could be sup
piled to each senator, representative
and delegate for distribution to his
constituents.
