THE PARTY OF o

Missouri Republicans are an optimistic body
Of men. Their opponents proclaim them NJ,
hut stop to wonder at their hopefulness and
to question the sincerity Of their zeal. Mis-.
souri, has 40 long been Democratic. that they
can neither appreciate the position to which
their own organization has drifted. nor con.
ceive the necessity for those reforms demanded
by their opponents. Questions that affect the
welfare Of the state have in their opinion only
to be settled in party conventions. whose nc.
ton Is final.
Such has been the case, but the indications
afforded by the results Of successive elections
make it apparent that this practice Is not much
longer to be followed. So long as the ruling
party restrained itself from overt acts, people
though not satisfied, were yet not aroused to
action and repudiation Of the offenders bv
glaring instances of official incapacity and
corruption. Their Indifference upon such points
and failure to assert their rights as those Of
the majority. have fastened upon the Demo
cratic party of Missouri q machine which has
no desire to do the will Of the people. Cor
ruption has become brazen in its insoleuce and
boldly shows its head, challenging the efforts
of party purifiers, a~sser,ive and defiant in It's
sense OF security. A machine has no use for
independent, honorable men. 1t cannot use
them. but must Ike composed Of tricksters and
politicians. Cunning and political sagacity
are greater requisites and more highly honored
qualities than brains and fearlessness. To
this state and into the hands of such men,
has the political machinery Of the Democratic
party in this state fallen. With its best men
relegated to obscurity. it is no wonder that
the attempts at legislation made by the legis-
lature and the official acts Of the governor. are
recorded as failures, due to pernicious infu-
enccs detrimental to the welfare of the masses.
