Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1904-12-23
b. ------------------
Mr.. THURMAN WAS RIGHT.
Truthful Utterances Of an Old Stand
ard Bearer of the Demo-
cratic Party.

Some friends Of Senator Allen G.
Thurman, assembled in his law Of
flee after the Greeley defeat of 1872,
said, in their disbursement, that the
democratic party might as we'll disband.
Gentlemen" replied the Old Roman,
this is too small a room in which to
kill the democratic party" Thurman
was right, says the Albany Argus. Only
two years after the overwhelming Gree
ley disaster, in 1874, there was demo-
cratic landslide all over the country,
and in 1876 Samuel j. Tilden was elect
ed president, although deprived of the
office by the fraud of '76. The room
has not been built, the election has
not been held, in which it would be
possible to kill the democratic party.
The sweeping victory of President
Roosevelt, largely personal in it's ma
ture and intent, caused the defeat, this
year, of all but few democratic candi-
dates, and Immediately after election
volunteer undertakers assembled to
bury the democracy, while quack doc
tors detected life enough to prescribe
their nostrums as the sole hope for the
patient. But no democrat believed for
a moment that the party was dead, and
there were few, indeed, who even in the
earliest gloom and disappointment Of
that tremendous landslide, were ready
TO fly to the extremes of radicalism and
to admit that never again would the
democracy in its present form rally and
go to the polls"
During the weeks which have elapsed
since election day, we have talked with
many democrats. Never, after a defeat,
were greater and more general pluck
and "spunk" apparent. This spirit Is
Especially noticeable in the younger ele-
ment of the party-an uncommonly
good sign. We are told that since cleo
| ton day 40 new members have Joined
the Young Mems Democratic club, Of
this city, which body converting within
a few days after the defeat at the
polls voted to continue, as a permanent
Organization, at meeting as enthusiast
tic and as well attended as many that
were held by the club, in the midst of
the campaign.
Better luck next time" is the gen.
eral democratic feeling. There is a
belief, widely preva ent, that mistakes
made this year can be corrected and
avoided in future campaigns; that
democratic organizations must be
strengthened, built up and solidifled, all
the year round, and not just before cleo
ton; that, in dozen states, the vote
polled by the democratic state tickets
shows that Roosevelt's personality rath-
er than the republican party was what
the people Endorsed; and that, come
what may, win or lose, this is not going
to be a one-party country, nor lack a
vigilant, persistent and intelligent demo-
cratic opposition.

Norfolk, Va. September 10.--Southern
Railway detectives have captured in
Sussex county, at a station called Home
vile, band of twelve negroes somewhat
similar in purpose to the "Bsfore Day"
clubs, being rounded up further South.
This band styled themselves the Rough
Riders" and their object was to rob and
burn houses and stores iu the vicinity Of
bonneville, the detectives allege. The
twelve captives are charged with robbing
and burning the Southern Railway sta
ton at bonneville, and with plotting to
rob and burn the general store of Bert &
Chapel, at the same place. The leader
of the band is Bud Tucker. The crowd
is confined in the Sussex Jail, wooden
structure, and the detectives fear they
will make their escape. An effort will
be made to have the gang removed to
Petersburg for safety.

Before Day Clubs In Georgia.

Macon, September 10.-Specials to the
Telegraph from Athens say there is some
excitement and much talk over what is
said to be positive evidence of Before
Day Club" in Clarke county, and Sheriff
Weir is in readiness to serve warrants
against the negroes implicated. The
names of six alleged members of the
club are already known. They are all
farm hands and live on the plantations of
six well-to do farmers, who are marked
for slaughter. The aim of the negroes
is said to have been to wait until some
cotton had been sold by the farmers and
then kill the men, rob them and burn
their houses. Peace warrants will proba-
bly, be Issued for the negroes implicated.
1t is hoped that now that the plot has
beef discovered the negroes will not
dare put it into execution.

The Defeated Candidate.

A citizen of Spartanburg offers,
through the News and Courier, the fol-
lowing good advice to defeated candi-
dates:
"All is not lost. Friends are left.
Neighbors will still be kind and helpful.
The wide world is open before you.
There is much manly, honorable work
outside of public offices. There are clean
dollars to be gained by individual, un-
aided effort that will put you under obli-
cation to no one. Hold up your heads,
walk forth like free, independent men,
and with greater honors and more en-
larged success and attain higher man
hood in private station than you could
have possibly achieved in the office you
sought and failed to get"
This is all sound and to the point. Of
course success Is preferable to defeat,
and the man who succeeds will feel bet
tor than the one who Is defeated. But
all could not be elected, and the defeated
candidate is still entitled to considera-
ton at the hands of his fellow citizens.
He wanted the Office it is true, and
placed himself in position to be ac-
cepted or refused. There were hun
dreds of others who would have been
glad to get these same offices; but who
dared not ask for thom. The man who
wants an Office and puts himself in a
position to be elected or defeated, is oar-
| tainly entitled to moro consideration
than the man who desires the office, but
who at the same time is unwilling to
risk the judgment of his fellow citizens.

SURPRISING THE FACTS.

The present administration seems to
must be done to keep out the light in re-
gard to the extravagances in all the de-
partments of government since Roose-
welt became President Judge Parker's
arrangement of the administration, in
which he detailed minutely a number of
instances of wanton waste of public
funds, has caused the issuing of strict
orders not to make public any informa-
tion in regard to department expendi-
lures "until further orders" 1t is need
less to say that the further orders" wi
not be Forthcoming until after November.
The order as sent to the chiefs of depart
ments reads:
'By direction of the President, no in
formation is to be made public regard
ing the estimates for the navy nor are
these estimates to be discussed until
further ORDERS"
This order has been extended to all de-
partments, and "mum's the word" from
now till after the election so far as the
government expenditures and estimates
for the future are concerned.
These facts may be suppressed from
tho general public, out there are abund-
ant instances of extravaganza, waste and
folly in the practices and general policy
of the present administration and the
President during the past three years to
keep the &. o. p. busy hushing them up.
The people of the country are ready
for a change for the better.
