A DEMOCRATIC pRED1cAMENr.

The Democratic state convention has been called
for Aug. 21st. There is really little for them to
do. They will find fault with the republican plat
form and denounce a few things but they dare not
express any fora1ulative policy, they dare not say
what they will or will not do in national politics
should they be successful in 1904. The platform
upon which the democrats made their last cam
paign is already a thing of the past, not alone be-
cause it has been defeated but because the princi-
pies, or rather the expedients, for which it stood,
were never practical and have died the way Of all
ever been a third set, They realize that they are
but the tall end of the democratic dog and it is not
for them to express an opinion but to blindly follow
the lead OF democratic states. 1t is supposed that
the last national platform governs a party until a
new national platform la adopted. The democrats
of Iowa will hardly dare however to array them
selves under a banner making use ofthe old free
silver and Aguinaldo planks. 1t is characteristic
of democracy that their platforms are not meant to
stand, do not represent issue which live but are
mere clap trap arrangements to catch votes.
Democracy never makes its fight twice on the same
ground. 1t is ever shifting and ever at variance
with its past. What the Iowa democratic fragment
will do is interesting only from a psychological
point OF view. They have tried nearly everything
and are now much in the predicament of Lowell's
Wooer, who,
"Stood a spell on one foot fust,
Then stood a spell on t'other,
And on which foot he felt the wust,,
He couldn't have told you nuther."
