ssDEMORALIZED'' DEMOCRATS

The New York Evening Post has a
ocratic party and it's representatives. 1t
says they "are utterly demoralized."
Their is some basis Of truth, for in the
south the signs are not particularly
hopeful. as there are division and con-
tention. The Post says:
Organism has reduced the numerical
strength of the party until it no longer
has a Senator in the whole. north easr
of the Rocky mountain region, and
only a scattering body of representa-
tives from this great section outside of
New York city. The party is as weak
in intellectual strength and political
sense as in numbers"
1t undertakes the ability of the
members in the congress A debate be-
tween the best half dozen senators and
the best half dozen representatives
with an equal number from the boast
full north might even aStonish the Ev-
ening Post. But the republicans are so
strong they carry out successfully most
of their dangerous and oppressive
plans aimed against the people and
htheir pockets. 1t kindly reminds the
1ubilant leaders that a defeat in the flu
ture is not an im~possibility. We quote:
The veterans in politics recall more
than one occasion within the past thir-
ty years when a party has appeared to
be invincible, and yet within a short
time has gone to overwhelming defeat.
The tidal waves of 1874, 1882, and 1890
in favor Of the democracy all followed
republican victories in a presidential
election"
If the democrats are really as much
'demoralized' as their enemies would be-
lieve they should take warning and see
to it that the country is not finally ruin
ed by their infidelity and indifference
and incapacity.

There is one thing that is becoming
more and more patent each year and
that is the fact that the old-fashioned
speech h-making during campaign times
is doomed to go the way Of the hand
bill. Modern newspapers take the
place of both. People prefer to read
the issues Of tie day at their leisure
in the comforts of their homes or
places of business in preference to
going to some barn of a place to be
uncomfortable tor an hour or so.
There was a time when many could
not read, and IL was necessary to have
them rounded UP, so they could be toll
by word of mcith the Issues, but,
thanks to the modern school system,
the people ca1 read, and their news
paper supplies them with a medium
whereby they can inform themselves
upon the issues Of the day.
II Is dawning upon the minds of the
political managers that the newspaper
is the most effective way Of reaching
the people. The Republican state COM
mittee is said to have set aside fund
for certain newspapers and the sending
out of plate" matter by both Of tbs
committees is now recognized policy
| There was time when information
was disseminated by means Of hand
hill but IL Is an old fogy now who
adopts that method of reaching the
people. In few years speech making
will be nearly as obsolete as is the
handbill today.

PARTISAN MENDACITY.

In its Sunday issue the Ohio State
Journal SAID: Colonel Kilbourne's
denial of the charges made against him
will lose him the election. He shouil
have kept silent"
The charges to which 1t referred first
appeared In 'ne State Journal ane
afterward in the Republican press tf
the state, ana charged: 1. That
Colonel Kilbourne committed perjury
by making false tax return. 2. That
he was the enemy and oppressor of
workingmen. 3. That he dealt almost
exclusively in convict made goods.
In a speech ut the Columbus audi
torium, Colonel Kilbourne, presenting
facts and figures, disproved each OF
these charges 70 the satisfaction of
the 5000 people in the audience.
A man named Rife, who wrote the
lying charges and who was present,
admitted to other newspaper men
present that Kilbourne was right and
that the charges were false. The next
morning he declared in the Journal:
"Kilbourne admits the truth of the
charges against him."
When the other newspaper men ask
ed Rife why he made such a statement,
he said: I'VE (Republican writers
and editors) can get a Democrat every
time he comes mp for Office. The first
thing we do is to charge him with all
sorts of crimes and moral obliquities
If he does not deny them we show
him guilty by his silence. If he does
deny them we show that he is guilty
because no honest man would deny
such things IL they were false. Then
we give him another dose and keer
him guessing"
1t is from this vile and infamous
source that the brood Of false, mali
cious and scurilous charges against
Colonel Kilbourne emanate, which fill
the Republican papers, all of them lies
and many of them forgeries.
Is there a single decent, honest
high minded voter in this city or coun-
try who will participate in this worl,
of the assassination of character? II
so he is to be Ditied.
