morning, says:
MANY disappointed leaders on the
democratic side are talking or reor-
ganizing the party and of issues upon
which democrats may win next time
There is no lack of issues
IF the democracy and the demo
cratic leaders are democrats; OF as
democrats they deserve success and
earn popular confidence and gratitude
success will reward them.
"A democrat should not ask how
can be elected to office? but rather
how can work for the interests of the
people?
"A democracy falsely led by some
sham democratic leaders has just had
a severe and useful lesson. 1t has dis
covered that candidates, honest but
unknown, presented to the country by
Wall street hackers, known and dis
trusted. cannot successfully oppose
energetic, united republican action
supporting a man of character, popu-
larity and decided in his views.
The country has learned that bo-
gus Wall street democracy cannot de-
feat genuine republication. But it
has not learned that real democracy
cannot defeat republicanism.
Question for Democrats.
Let the democrats ask themselves
honestly. What is best for the whole
country?'
Whatever is best for all the people
is best for the party Recently the
democratic leaders, getting hold of a
convention that was not allowed to
represent the country, starting out by
asking:
What can be done to reinstate dis
credited democrats? How can men
that betrayed their party twice be-
come suddenly accepted as national
leaders? How is it possible for one
little branch of plutocracy, falsely Ia
beled democratic, to get power through
the name democracy instead of, in
the usual way, through republican
ism?'
These questions were asked by
the Wall street interests that sue
ceeded in controlling the democrat
ic organization this year.
The questions have been answered
emphatically by the people.
That answer was heard last Tues
day 1t was an answer to the Wall
street spectators that wanted to be
democratic leaders. 1t was not vote
of lack of confidence in real democ-
racy.
THE democracy has not been de-
feated In his farewell address to all
of his fellOW-cOuntrymen Jackson ut
tered words that might we'll have been
addressed to the national democratic
convention last July.
Jacksons Farewell Words.
You have no longer any cause to
fear danger from abroad; your
strength and power are well known
throughout the civilized world, as
we'll as the high and gallant bearing
of your sons. 1t is from within, among
yourselves-from cupidity, from dis
appointed ambition and inordinate
thirst for power among disloyal dem
ocrats that should long since have
been driven from the party
Concluding his address, Jackson
said, pathetically and nobly:
My own race is nearly run. Ad-
Vanced age and failing health warn
me that before long l must pass be-
yond the reach of human events and
cease to feel the vicissitudes of hu-
man affairs. l thank God that my life
has been spent in a land of liberty
and that he has given me a heart to
love my country with the affection OF
a son.
