DEMOCRATS IN A MIDDLE.
Are In Such a Confused Condition
They Take No Notice Of the
Federal Constitution.

There is no mystery about the source
OF the present weakness Of the opposi-

welt for another term. remarks the New
York Sun. That weakness IL due chief
~ TO the failure Of the democracy. as
sembled In primary and state convcn-
tons. 10 formulate distinctly the Is
sues they wish presented at st. Louis.
The failure to consider and present
the constitutional and economic prin-
ciples on which the democracy desires
the national government to be conduct
ed has given to noisy demaRogucs their
opportunity. So long ms their opinions
were uttered only In yellow newspapers
there was no urgency for refuting them,
but primary and state conventions OF
democratic voters are serious and i'm
portant affairs. II In them there are no
committees on resolutions. no discus
sion Of Issues. n fair inference II that the
representative democrats there assem-
BLEED take little or 10 interest In demo-
cratic principles.
II will not do TO plead In e%xtcnHstlvn
that The national convention II the place
for ISSUES aud that state conventions
are to keep silent. That Is not tradition
nj democracy, since national con-
ventions began: and. besides. II state
conventions NEEDLE with candidates.
why not with the issues those candidates
are to represent?
The feeling In the several states re-
garllrg principles cannot be definite or
strong II the local democratic conyen-
lions are dumb.
The situation Ii very serious when
democrats In the several states do not
manifest an interest In the federal con-
stitution and In such an Interpretation
OF the powers II has impaired to con-
gress and the president ms the demo-
cratic party has contended for ever since
Il has existed.
The %usurpation Of power by congress
and the president has never been 30 out
rageous as since McKinley's death.
What Is needed most Of all Is to put
the ship Of state back again on the
right tack and TO compel IL to be steered
hereafter as the constitution has pre-,
scribed.
Give back TO the state governments
and prohibit TO the national govern
ment. the regulation OF things which
Marshall declared do not rome under
national cognizance. and all will bs
well. Difficulties over corporations
