AFTER STRANGE GODS

This has been the undoing of the Democratic party since 1893.
 President Cleveland was right on the money question, but his party, the party of sound money, always before this, deserted him in his hour of need and ran off after strange gods.
 The party can never win on the lines of the Chicago platform of 1896. This was thoroughly demon strated by the late election. This country will not tolerate any possi- bility of it's being brought to the front agaln.
 The Republicans are intoxieatt d with success and will do mar y things

during this and the next congress that the people will not approve.
 Reorgauize the party on she Jef- fersonlan principles. Hold the Re- publicars strictly accountable for their misdeeds and mistakes and we will win again.
 Mr. Cleveland now comes to the front on the necessity of party reor- ganization on the right lines, and the following interview, obtained by representative of the Atlanta Journal, should te carefully read and treasured by every thoughtful Democrat:
 ''In my opinion" said Mir. Cleve- land, "the great need of the Demo- cratic party is return to first prin- ciples. The Democratic party has not been fatally disorganized, but it sadly needs rehabilitation on purely Democratic lines.
 ! "What is the matter With the party? It has, in my humble ludg ment, simply wandered off after strange gods. A large mass of Democratic voters saw this before the last election. They remained quiet, but when the sine came to 
 vote they said, This is not Democ- racy,' and refused to support it.
 "As I see it" continued MT. Cleve- land, Git is the duty of Democrats everywhere to aid in the rehabilita- ton of the party There are some signs of an insista upon the necessity of return to Democratic doctrines in the South, but they are not so general as I would like to sec"
 What of 5Le future?" was asked
 "With sincere return to it's old time doctrines" he replied, the old time victories of the Democratic party will certainly be won"
