The reports from all parts of the
state that we have seen speak ia
vorably of the working of the new
primary law, taken as a whole. The
plan seems to suit the people much
better than the convention wav.
The main draw back, to our mind,
seems to be the requirement of a
majority vote to secure a nomina-
ton. 1t seems that this ruling
could be changed to a plurality
vote where there are more than two
candidates. In the primary just
held some of the. candidates hold
ing next to the highest vote have
shown their sagacity in withdraw
ing and allowing the plurality can
didate to qualify. This is sensible,
for there is always an element in
any party that likes to be with the
winning man, and such persons
will vote In IA second primary for
the plurality candidate, it matters
not whom they voted for in the
first primary, and unless some
thing unforeseen should turn up
we believe the party would be jus
titled in adopting the plurality rule
instead of the majority rule for
primary elections hereafter.

The Richmond News, Demo
cratic paper, speaks plainly of the
position Mr.. Bryan has taken i'm re-
gard to the Democratic party, as fol-
lows: 1t Is lamentable that man
who has been twice candidate of the
oldest party in the country. and a
great party with magnificent prin-
cIples, should descend to such cheap
and Improbable bidding for sup
port. He imagineS an aristocracv
and hc imagincs calamity. and he
rcpudiates the prosperity and pro
grr>S, evidences of which are i'm the
hands and before the eyes of every
man. He Is kicking against the
pricks, he l. arguing against facts.
he Is drawing chimcra, from the
air. He is doing his best to post
pone the rehabilitation and reor-
ganization of the Democracy. which
no power can prevent. We are
" sorry to see 80 good aman
put himself in 50 bad a position,
So long as he persists in doing 50.
however, the feeling against him in
the Democratic party will contin-
uc to harden Confidence in his
sagacity has departed; he seems t..
be laboring to destroy confidence
in hi, integrity"
The Florida star., 1902-08-01
Democratic Differences.

What are the differences between
the two factions-or rather the two
groups, as Mr.. Bryan calls them
of the Democratic party? Are they
so very great after all?-so great
that they could not be easily ad-
justed if the work of adjustment
were undertaken in the right sort
of spirit?
Mr.. Villas, who is a prominent
representative of one of the groups,
said, in his harmony letter the
other day, that the group with
which he was associated was in en-
tire accord with the principles of
Thomas Jefferson. In his speech
at the New England Democratic
League dinner last week on Thurs
day, Mr.. Bryan had a great deal to
say about Thomas Jefferson's prin-
ciples-he always does, in fact
and insisted that his group was in
entire accord with them.
Unless there is difference in the
understanding as to what the prin-
ciples of Thomas Jefferson are, both
groups of the Democratic party
cannot be\in harmony with them.
The Savannah News asks if it
would not be good plan to APP
point committee to make a decla-
ration as to what the principles of
Thomas Jefferson are? Each of
the two groups can then compare
It's principles with those of Thomas
J Jefferson, and, as both claim to be
in harmony with them, the one
that Is found to be out of harmony
would have to readjust its prin.
clples in order to be consistent.
When it does that there will be
to keep the two groups
apart, because the principles of each |
agreeing with those of Thomas JEFF
.erson must necessarily agree with |
.ach other.
There will be no occasion then for
Mr.. Bryan to draw unfriendlv pic
.ures of Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Hill or |
Nr. German. The harmony which is |
80 much talked of and so much de-
sired will have arrived.
