The people have had their inning 80 far as Folk Is con-

THE INDEPENDENT VOTER.

The election last week dscloses the unmistakable
trend Of politics tswad the dominance OF honest unfet
tered sentiment among vast percentage Of the voters
OF the country The independent voter beginning to
be respected throughout tie country The man that
votes the Democratic ticket or the Republican ticket
because his father voted that way In short the ye
low dog idea in politics is fast disappearing Thinking
not partisan to the extent Of voting against
their own better judgement for the sake of party,
chimes have been smashed IN many localities Sometimes
BY political party and again by another Whenever
corrupt party machine has been built up il is in
danger of being knocked TO pieces by the independent
voter The triumph of principle partisansm is plain
y discemabe in the presidents election and in the
dorsement Of Folk, Of Missouri and in many other in-
stances The day of better government, local and
tional is coming, because breaking away from
the thraldom Of party and standing independently for
what they believe he right.

demand radical remedies. II sounded a partial
retreat when It should have ordered charge all
along the llae. In 1896 the line was drawn for
the first time during the present generation be-
tween plutocracy and Democracy, and the party's
stand ON the side OF Democracy alienated large
number Of plutocratic Democrats, who in the ma
