LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
The Eve OF the EIection-A Reunited
Democracy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81, 1902.
EDITOR CITIZEN:
The Congressional campaign of
1902 has been fought. AS these
lines are being written the forces of
Democracy are getting into battle
array for the final struggle which
will take place next Tuesday between
the rising and the setting of the sun.
Upon the outcome of the contest
depends the return of our grand and
glorious nation to Democratic prin-
ciples, or its continuation under the
trust-controlled rule Of sordid Re
publicanism. 1t is fervently hoped
by those who have led this fight that
every Democrat everywhere who
holds the principles of bis party dear
will go out and register his faith in
Democracy, and his opposition to the
monopolistic policies of the Repub-
lican party next Tuesday. There
has been class of Democrats-thank
Heaven, they are scarce in old Vir-
ginia-who have professed to believe
that we ought not to carry the
House. Such Democrats are the
worst enemies the Democratic party
has. They claim that it would ruin
the prospects of victory in 1904. But
they have studied history to no adj
vantage and they have looked no
farther ahead than their own noses,
else they would see for themselves
the fallacy of such position. Every
time the Democratic party has gotten
a majority of the votes, since the
Civil war, in the electoral college
In 1876, 1884, and 1892, it has first
wrested the House from a Republi-
can administration, along the identi-
cal lines the party is pursuing in this
campaign. And, moreover, the Re-
publican party has never won a presi-
Dental campaign when it lost the
House preceding.
1t nothing else grows out of this
campaign, the effort put forth by the
Democrats would be amply rewarded
by the Identification of Democracy.
Whatever our views on the issues of
the last two campaigns, we have all
gotten together in this campaign, and
reunited Democracy will be trium-
plant Democracy in the campaigns
OF the future. Let every Democrat
remember that internal disorders
have always resulted in Democratic
undoing. Let us always remember
the great doctrine Paul preached
about schism and divisions when
some said they were of Paul and
others said they were of Apollos.
Let us always be Democrats above all
else and we will soon witness return
to the Democratic principles en-
6raced in that grand doctrine of
Democracy-Equal rights to all men
and special privileges to none.

1T is a matter of interest as much
as of pride that the people of this
district should turn out on Tuesday
next and roll up good vote for
Congressman Jones. We will need
every Democrat in the next Congress
that it is possible to get, as questions
OF great moment will be to the front.
"four uncle" Marcus A. Hanna pro-
poses to do little side-stepping act
to capture the recalcitrant Republi-
cans in the meshes of a ship subsidy
bill. 1t will be recalled that the old
gent did not get all he wanted in
THIS line from the last Congress, and
he is keeping his weather-eye open to
scoop In more. The people have
had enough-or ought to have had
OF subsidies and pensions, but if they
continue to elect Republican admin
istrations and congresses the end of
these iniquities is far distant.
