DEMOCRACY WILL LIVE,

The chief newspaper supporters OF
the Democratic cause in the campaign
of 1904 are very generally taking
their defeat bravely and philosophi.
cally. Here is a characteristic com
ment from the Boston Herald:
1--WE have been told that the defeat
OF Judge Parker would inevitably lead
TO the disintegration Of the Democrat
ic party and the reascendency in It's
place Of the Populist party, which Tor
some years held that great organlza-
ton in subsection. From this CON
clusion we entirely dissent, In good
report and evil report the Democratic
party has maintained It's vitality for
more than u century, and 1t still has u
long life before IL, II our free lnsCitu-
lions are TO be perpetnated, In the
next four years new conditions ana
new men are to come to the front.

Alva Adams as governor OF Colorado
by the combined votes OF Republicans

owners, unionists and non-unlonlsts,
businessmen and ranchers, Is II pro

the Mountain state against lawless-

ado was 1888. Adams was the
Democratic nominee, and ran more
than % 900 votes ahead of his ticket
and goes into his third term as chlei

OF nearly 10000. Alva Adams Is u

Firmly seated on cushioned place.
He braced himself for q dusty race:
At first he thought 1t lots of fun.
And said to the driver, " o. let her run"
" For I'm out for lark and not afraid.
DO you think look like frightened maidY
So let her spin, I'm from the Badger state
And we never get left, nor never late"
Away he went with whoop and "A cheer
Ger the road made famous by Paul Revere:
And dashing up and down the grade,
Our comrade was pleased with the speed he
made.
So the auto driver with a wink in his eye
Pulled out the lever, and let her fly;
AT first John q. was easy to please,
At length however he began to snee2e.
For the road was dry and the dust was
thick,
And the auto man was showing u trick
or dashing along at a forty mile clip,
And John was sorry he said, 20, let her rip"
Then he dug his hands in the cushions deep
And uttered sound like those who weep.
With eyes full of dust, and mouth full of
sand
lie yelled ID the driver to let him land.
But the driver was deaf, or would not hear
And worked his machine regardless of fear
And John he just yelled and fretted and
swore (O

For Pm tired and sick; I've made mis-

The pace is too fast your scorching too

So the calreuer held up, and the auto

And our hero went a-foot for the old Boston

And he talked to himself as he wendell his

United Democracy.

II seems to be agreed that the
Democracy, to be effective this year,
must unite-that is, the Republican
party is agreed upon that point;
rumor says nothing about the opinion
of Democracy itself. However, it is
safe TO say that the Democrats wish
to unite; the only part Of the process
that bothers them is the finding of
common ground. One suspects that
they may be troubled by the mis-
giving which assaulted the prospective
bridegroom when he asked the min
lister if after marriage he and his
wife would be one. The minister re-
piled in the affirmative, whereupon
the swain inquired earnestly, Which
one?"
There are three divisions, roughly
speaking. in the Democratic party;
the Eastern Democracy, which is
closely identified with Wall Street
and the gold standard, and will stand
