DEMOCRACY NOT SECTIONAL.

H
During the course OF his speech de.
ivered at a meeting Ut the Democratic
editors In New York last week. Hon.
Clark Howell, editor Of the Atlanta
Constitution. in responding IN the toast
Democratic Success the Surest Guar
antee Of National Unity said III part as
follows:
ANY political party is entitled to hold
and to urge its We've upon he economic
questions OF the day, but a party that
would build its hope Of success. AZ the
Republican party has done, upon a bold
and defiant challenge Of the peace. pros
perity aud happiness OF the people o, a
great section of onr country is neither
entitled TO its own seif-respect ror to
that Of the public sentiment Of the ma
ton!
SWe Democrats stand for reasonable
tariff reduction pecause we believe
that 1t Is as good-if not better-for
New England rs it is for the South or
West. We demand a more economical
administration Of the government at
Washington because we believe that it
Is wrong to pillage the Taxpayers OF any
state or section. We deuounce upf.t.
tered and unblushing Imperialism be-
cause we know where it leads and be-
cause it coniradicts and uDdermines
the very basis on which our govern
ment rests, and offers an ever attractive
invitation to international complica-
lions. But there is not a declaration OF
our platform that is not born OF an non
est desire to help the whole people, to
serve the whole country. and to SO nd.
minister the atfgirs Of government that
neither harm, hardship nor injustice
will be worked to the people OF any
state or section.
The Democratic party has no section
to punish and no issue that is not OF
equal concern to all the sections. Ii Is
not Il party Of greed, graft, spoilation or
sectional late. . 1t stands for peace and
not for wa-. II would preserve the hon
or aud dignity Ot the country at any
time, anywhere and at any cost-but it
Is not prancing over the world with a
chip on its shoulder daring somebody to
knock it of. 1t stands for "a union of
tile states III heart. as well us in name
as thes urest way to the God-Given des-
tiny which has declared that this shall
lead all the nations Of the earth. In
success or defeat, it's mission is sverlast-
ing, nor will it be content until through
it's fundamentally the dragon OF sec
tional discOrd has been slain aud all the
Sections arc brought together in that
true spirit OF national unity that must
be the inspiration OF our future great
ness, and the abiding faith that will cry
from every fireside III the land the glory
of the nation, and the stalwart strength,
