TO even a casual observer of
Democratic politics the high sound
ing phrases with which the press
of that party abounds as to Demo
cratic principles being high above
Democratic appetite for Office
sounds most ludicrous, indeed.
Go back less than decade and You
will find the Populists the most de
spised. of all parties by the stern
adherents to Democratic prin-
ciplcs. Yet when the Populists
jeopardised the prospects of the
Democrats. the latter were keen
enough to forsakc principle for
fusion and the hope of office ba> ed
upon Populism. In local politics
Democracy, as we see it i'll our
own midst, has not Il shred of
party principle to display. Con
victions and men are abandoned to
satisfy the wolfi>hncss for office
We don't believe there is a Demo
crat in Washington County who
regards his party principles 50
sacred that he thinks he can afford
to parade them before the Rcpuh-
lican majority here while seeking
for office.
