The Party of Retrogression.

John Sharp Williams, In campaign
speech in Kentucky, the other day, del
uged his audience with Mississippi rhe-
toric, showing great indignation over
the charge made by somebody that "the
democratic party is party OF retrogres'
sion and criticism.' Mr.. Williams de-
clared that "to answer this, it is only
necessary to refer to the administra-
lions of Jefferson and Jackson, the
founder and the preserver of the princi-
pies we revere; both Of these presidents
were -eminently of the constructive
school,
It is interesting to note the readi-
ness with which democratic orators re-
treat to the remote past to find some
constructive statesmen. The democrat
ic party turned against Cleveland, the
only democrat who had chance to act
as president since the party effaced it.
self under jeff Davis effort to test the
efficacy of the particularistic principles
Of Thomas j Jefferson, and made him the
target of the most reckless abuse which
can be heaped upon an American states
man. Cleveland, who had some real
claim to craftsmanship, was repudiated,
and Bryan was taken up and wor-
SHIPPED as Jeffersonian avatar; altho
select few of the party were not able
to see where Jefferson came into the
program.
Mr.. Williams seems to have been ut
terly unable to refute the charge that
his party was one Of retrogression and
criticism during the last forty-four
years of it's existence. It has been
the terms. 1t repudiated the most con-
structive thing Jefferson did, viz: the
purchase and annexation Of the terri
tory of Louisiana, for it denounced ex-
pansion as crime. 1t has denounced
the president as staining the nation g

The Reply Confesses Judgment.

An evidence Of the desperation to
which the managers Of Mr.. Dunn are
aroused is shown in the publication Of
a new campaign document, entitled
"Johnson g Falsehoods.' The PAM
phlet declares on it's titlepage estate
Auditor S. G. Iverson CERTIFIES that
the public examiners reports are un-
true.' Passing to the inside, the con-
tents are not Mr.. Iverson g I" certified"
statement at all, but some cleverly
worded deductions, not certified or
sworn to, and multiplying the errors in
the Iverson reply. s."
There is something left out Of the
pamphlet. While deliberately explain
ing the Irregularities in handling tim
Der permits, there is not word about
the other Johnson report. His state
1nents about mineral leases are not re-
ferred to. While in the denial bust
ness, why didn't Mr.. Dunn's apollo
gists deny the mineral-lease report
They could not have forgotten it, SO
we must assume that they admit the
truth of the statements made. In fact.
they have never tried to do otherwise,
and have handled that report as if it
were red-hot poker.
The report as to timber permits gives
some opportunity for technical de.
tense. By all kinds of twisting and
turning Of the record, Mr.. Dunn g apol-
ogists have evolved reply to Mr.
Johnson g report. It is reply which
does not answer, but it confuses the
public mind and beclouds what ought
to be very clear issue. T.. II
The mineral-lease report cannot be
handled in that way. The facts in the
mber-trespass cases also stand out be-
yond the power Of contradiction. The
$4,000 suit against Congressman Buck
man, which is the first fruit of the re-
port on timber trespass, cannot be ex
planned away by Mr.. Dunn defenders
Counsel for Mr.. Dunn tried to ex
cuse the disregard of bark marks anG

but could not deny the facts. They
can talk glibly and voluminously abou

Tense is confined to this one subject
and the printing presses are worked

ridiculous by the analysis of the pub

A defense had to be made, and tn
new pamphlet is the best that can b.
done. The voters cannot say that tn
Johnson disclosures have gone withou
reply, but they may ask:
While making a reply, why not cove
