As an editorial the New York
American of Tuesday. publishes a
letter by William Randolph Hearst
to the Iriquois Club. of Chicago.
We reprint in part below:
Gentlemen of the Iriquois Club:
greatly regret that engagements
which cannot be broken prevent
me from accepting your much ap-
precisted invitation to j lin with
you tonight in doing reverence to
to the memory of Andrew Jack
son. None can feel more strongly
than myself that his is a memory
which should be kept fresh in the
minds of his countrymen. He
stood for great and did great deeds.
The very spirit of Democracy was
incarnste in the hero of Hickey
Ground and the victor of New Or
leans. In his day, he was pass
ionately loved by the plain people
as Thomas Jefferson himself had
been, and as cordially hated, too,
by the classes who look upon spec
ial privilege as their right.
To every American who believes
in and hopes for the perpetuity OF
Democratic institutions the name
of Andrew jackson should be an
inspiration to hope, a shield
against doubt and dependency.
When the pessimist tells us that
the Republic is in danger, that the
country is drifting away from De-
mocracy and that an aristocracy OF
a oIigerchy or an imperialistic gov.
ernment is being established in it's
stead, We have only to look back
over our history to learn that every
such sristocrstic condition has
been overthrow by popular up,
heaval, peaceful political Tevolu-
tion, which has re, established the
rule of the people with greater pow
ar than before.
Under the influence of Hamil.
tonisn theories the government oi
the Republic early swung toward
the aristocratic form, toward the
English model of social caste and
the political predominance of the
select and fortunate few. 1t was
the fashion to deny the worth oi
the people and erect against them
undemocratic barriers founded
upon distrust of their capacity to
govern themselves. Had the Ham.
iltonian scheme prevailed, this re.
public would have become a mon.
