DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP.

There has been a revival of the
movement for the selection of south
EN- men to assume the leadership of
the Democratic party. The discordant
voices which have been heard of late
in the party councils give rise natur-
ally to the feeling that it will be diff
cult to secure a working party unity
through the influence or control of
those who have been identified prom
inently with the divisions Of the past
six years
Whoever is to lead, whatever prin-
ciple of party belief is to dominate, the
fact remains unalterable that the vo-
ters of the party themselves will select
their leaders and formulate their own
principles. Not until the national
convention will the question of leader
ship or the dominance of one current
issue over others be a matter of prac-
tical consideration. The Democrats

THE POLITICIANS CODE.

That eminent representative of New
York culture, craftsmanship and NOR
ality, Captain William J. Devery, late
chief of police of the American me-
tropolis. has unique notions as to
what constitutes fitness for public
on're. 1t appears that another New
York statesman, John c. Sheehan of
name, has recently charged that Devery
is not great and good man, worthy Of
holding the position to which that dis
tinguished statesman aspires. Filled
with righteous indignation, Deye.y
has issued formal challenge to Shee-
han to meet him and compare reputa-
tions. "Just let him throw it into me
for all he's WORTH" says Devery, and
if it's right, the people know what
they can do to me- Then / guess can
hand out few thinks to Sheehan, and
the people can decide which of us is
worst"
Evidently Devery's theory about the
qualifications which fit man for office
are that he must be no worse than his
rivals. If his idea prevailed, the
choice of the people would be sadly
limited. They would be compelled to
accept not the best man available for a
public position, but the candidate who
could prove that, despite his delinquen-
cies, be was not quite SO corrupt and
incompetent as his opponent. Thus
Devery says in effect to his rival Shee-
han: you may be able to show that
ought to be; that I am deficient in
character; that my ways have not
been such as to entitle me to respect;
but, granting all this, I shall be able to
prove that you are no better than I am,
perhaps not as good, Let the people
weigh our sins in the balance, and 1e-
eide which of the sinners ought to re-
ceive their support
That is a code of political morality
which not even Devery can make ac-
ceptable to thoughtful Americans who
are not even fastidious. 1t apparent
ly presupposes that all candidates for
public offices are bad, and that the
only concern of the people should be
to choose between evils-to reject the
greater and accept the lesser. That
they not able to understand, however,
that intelligent people demand high
err standard than this; that they DO
not like to be restricted to a choice
between rascals of a greater or less
degree. The Jeffersonian test-hon-
esty, efficiency, apacity-comprise in
a nutshell the qualifications for office.

trict must, in the contests which are
about to open, be relied on to lay out
their own line of battle and choose
their own leaders.
Each succeeding day the dissident
forces are drawing more and more
closely together. Not in the south
alone, but everywhere throughout the
country, there is prevailing strong
sentiment of opposition to the policies
and performances of the existing ad-
ministration. The prime duty of Dem
ocrats is to strengthen this sentiment
and fight the battle of the Constitu-
ton from the best vantage point which
is available to the division of the army
maintaining the fight.
After the Congressional elections,
issues will concentrate in the light of
the fact that the next House of Repre-
sentatives will in @il probability have
a Democratic majority. That fact will
of itself give enduring color to the ma
ture of the contest by which must be
finally decided the issue of the struggle
of the people for a return to the true
standards of constitutional govern
ment.
