Democracy.

We shall vote lOT Cle lioiII 'ii@~S
of the Democratic party, Bryan
and Stevenson, and they VIII
assured1v receive the electoral
vote of Mississippi, but they will
never be elected. Bryan, 10 TO
/, anti-expansion, milltarlsm,
and abuse of the administration
are the dead weights that will
insure defeat. But it is well
Mr.. Bryan and these follies must
be gotten rid of before Demo-
cracy can win and the only way
to do this is by ignomln1ous de-
feat and the quicker the oet'er'
The Democracy will win IN 1904
with true democrat aud con-
servative leader on old time prln'
ciples, and we think led by
David Bennett Hill the man VINO
went away from Kansas City
with more admiration and non
ors than any man there. Mr.
BRYAN except on expansion hay
inc gone to Washington to urge
the ratification of the treaty OF
Paris, which gave us the Philip
pines and now opposing eXpah,
sion is consistent, but full OF
politicsl vagaries and autocra-
tically, dictatorial and whenever
a man comes to be bigger than
his party and the people he is
dangerous, he is the rankes'
imperialist, and would make as,
suredly rapid and full 1ledged
miljtarist as soon Us he felt ne
needed such adjuncts to carry
ont his unbending will. Mr.
BRYAN bulldozed the democracy
He told them he would not ac'
/ cept the nomination unless ne
t dictated the platform which ne
y did and the democrats passed
under the rod. The Democratic
party has thrown away Wanton
