The Democratic tide is setting in to-
ward Washington. and upon every
white crested wave is written the word
Victory" Let every honest, earnest
Democrat listen and he will hear the
wild waves calling for union. for enthu-
siasm, and above all, for an Organiza-
ton of the scattered and shattered le-
gions Of Democracy into an aggressive,
invincible and irresistible army of the
people, for the defense of all the sacred
principles consecrated upon fields Of
death and glory. by the men who laid
the foundations Of this republic and
dedicated the American continent to
the proposition that all men are born
equal with equal and inalienable
rights.
Every precinct committeeman should
consider II an honor to be part of an
organization with such an exalted pur-
pose. They should consider il privi-
lege to contribute mite of their time
and means toward sustaining and eX-
tending the precinct organization to
every county in every State of the
Union. We want each representative
who has stood SO nObly by The Work
Ing Democracy, from the first, to know
that the Democratic National Commit
tee appreciates their work and sacri-
fee for this cause. Its success rests
with them. Each precinct representa-
tive is requested to respond promptly
to the call for July dues. as an evidence
Of their devotion to the principles of
Democracy. The Congressional elec-
tiOns will be held next year, and the
organization expects to be of great SER
vice In capturing as many seats from
the enemy as possible. The tariff issue
bids fair to split the e. o. p. in twain
The element that has always been pro-
tectionists for the dollars sake realize
that we must have free trade. or be
shut out Of the markets of the world,
by retaliatOry tariffs. Russia has al
ready declared war and other nations
are preparing to follow suit The pro-
| tectionists for revenue only" will be-
come free traders, while those who
made protection matter Of principle
will stick to it 10 the bitter end. Events
have demonstrated the soundness of the
Democratic doctrine of open markets,
and victory Is at our doors. The party
is sound on all the great questions Of
the hour, and 1t deserves, and will re-
ceive the support of all who love pa
triotism above pelf, and believe in the |
equal rights of man.-Working Democ-
racy.
Once for All.
Alarmed at the prevalent talk of a |
third term, William Mckinley makes |
another announcement. -"Once for ALL"
Il not only am not and will not be a |
candidate for third term, but would |
not accept a nomination for it If it were |
rendered me-" This is the emphatic and |
unqualified averment of the Major. And |
such declaration from any other Chief |
Executive of the United States would |
have been taken as determining the |
question Of a third term in favor of a
well established precedent.
Mr.. Mckinley has only himself to
blame for the fact that when reading
this out-giving the people wink the 9TH
er eye and recall the fact that other
statements equally unequivocal have
been nullified upon proper occasion Of
fering for profit by Justification. For
chile annexation is criminal aggres-
sion" was followed by war of con-
quest and shameful breach of private
word and public honor. 1T is our plain
duty to give Porto Rico free trade" was
followed by a tariff against goods
shipped by persons under the flag of
the United States. and again the prom
ise to the ear was broken to the hope
because votes were to be bought by tar
in plunder. This has been the story Of
four years. II there be those who can
claim credence for this new promise
of the scuttling President and agent
Of monopoly it will be only because
they are blinded by partisanship The
idea Of pledge standing in the way of
third term for William Mckinley is
as absurd as an attempted demonstra-
tion Of a yertebra in a jelly fish.
The meaning of this pronouncement
Is clear. No one denies the capacity Of
Mr.. Mckinley for practical politics. 1t
is his long suit. His scent for danger
and vision for personal advantage in
statecraft is keen and unerring. He
knows the danger lurking in candida
ture so long announced. He has had
experience In Washington and realizes

eycombed with Presidential candidates
A President against whom is arrayed
his party majority in the Senate would
have about as good chance for either
a nomination or election in 1904 as vir-
gin purity in a brothel. Chauncey De-
pew and the vociferous Grosvenor have
injured the chances Of the man they ex-
tolled. It is not the first offense Of
either gentleman. GrOsyenor gave
away the whole game in 1898 when he
declared the evident purpose and threat
Of his party by saying that "this is to
be a Republican war;" thereby giving
to the people warning of the oncoming
era of frauds aid official corruption.
The Democrat does not believe that ,
the people will be deceived by this
