The cold Guard OF Democracy,
which will decide this, as they have
every presidential election, in which
the life or honor of the Nation was
imperiled, doesn't appear to be well
understood by the press OF either party
They are not Gold or Palmer demo-
Gratis, nor were they O'Connor demo-
Gratis in '92. They date back to the
SOS. In '52, Douglas and Seymour
were the prominent candidates. but
''expediency' ruled for the first time
in democratic couusels and Pierce was
nominated. Ia so, Douglas was the
popular candidate, but the South an
| tagonized him, and for the sake of his
party that great statesman peremptor-
lily withdrew: 1860 was a REPETITION,
but the people insisted on his nomin-
alton and there was o split. The
Northern doughfaced democracy, the
forbears OF the present Bryan brand,
supported Breckenridge and Lane, the
Southern boiling candidates. In 1861
these boilers refused Douglas lead in
support OF the government. In 1862, a
united democracy captured the House
of Representative by large majority.
In 1851, the sold Guard' supported
and elected Lincoln on the principle
that you mustn't swap horses while
crossing a stream. In 1858, Horatio
Seymour, the Jefferson of our time,
wanted Chase, who had returned to the
fold, as stands ard bearer. Geo. FL,
Pendleton, much ADLER man than
Bryan, was the leader of the yellow
dog democracy. He himself could not
secure the nomination, but he managed
to get his vicious greenback theory in
the platform: accordingly his friends
stampeded the convention for Seymour,
who presided, despite that gentleman's
protest. Seymour carried New York
and would have carried the country
had he been we'll known, as in his ma
tive state. In 1872, the democracy no.
minated q man with whom they had
nothing in common-Horace Greeley.
Mr.. Greeley carried with him at least
200, 900 republican farmers in his own
state, who swore by the n. Y. Tribune.
Despite this, Grant carried Now York
by over 81, 0o0 majority. In 1895, there
must have been million silver repub-
licans who deserted the party, yet note
the result.
The "Cld Guard" have been con-
ing to the many blunders of their
party: their members seldom die and
never surrender: they invariably vote
straight, either for their party or di-
rectly against it. This year they will
vote for the Republican ticket almost
to q man. Inscribed On their banners
