AN ENROLLED MEMBERSHIP.
Chairman Parker last week, report
ing the nominations made under his
club system, said
1T is unfortunate that there has
been general disregard of The ac-
ton Of the committee and of this club
system, but there has been such con-
fusion of party affairs since the Den
yer conference that nobody has known
who was In party authority. 1t is
fortunate that the Springfield con-
vention will straighten this out, as II
is impossible TO make satisfactory
progress under present conditions.
The club system could have been thor
oughly Organized by this time if 1t
had not been for the knockers but
what there is of 1t is representative
of the party throughout the United
States.''': ~ n AL
The Independent is not advised as
to whom Chairman Parker refers when
he speaks of knockers retardfng tile

it.. feels safe in asayingssthat no club
system can be organized ,iny ythree

Vice Chairman Edmisten's committee
is not changed; he has all the party

dition since the Denver conference is
the Organization committee ap-
pointed by that body, and it has not
done enough to create any great con-
| fusion.
Chairman Parker's committee has
been in the field with the Cincinnati
plan" more than four years and has
done absolutely nothing to put it in
force. Why? Certainly the Denver
conference did not prevent trying to
put the plan" in force. at least dur
ing the years 1901 and 1902. Why
should Chairman Parker and his COM
mittee drop the Cincinnati plan,'
which was duly adopted in national
convention, and take up another at
the last moment, adopted In national
committee meeting? Wherein In the

The answer came from Yancey, the

Ohio rose and thanked God that pre-
tense was over.
The speaker voiced the anger
which the southern Democrats felt
al the underlying assumption of their
northern brethren that slavery was
immoral. They held that the Free

2rud2ing statutory protection to the
south's peculiar institution, as if it
were legal indeed, but an evil

The convention adjourned ove.'
Sunday and the prayers in the
churches for harmony were sincere
but futile. Not a man was moved
and on Monday the Douglas platform
was adopted by sectional vote.
That settled any further attempt at
compromise. The southerners con-
trolled enough votes to dictate terms
for the nomination under the two
thirds rule, but principles, not men.
We're the issue. If the platform was
not to be accepted bolt was inevi-

There were tears in the eyes of the
southern, as we'll as of northern men
when the Alabama delegation with

below Mason and Dixons line. But

into the wilderness, friendless and
alone; for in sixty days you will find

This speech and the withdrawal
marked the climax of the convention.
The seceders met at Richmond few
days later and nominated Breckin-
ridge and Lane. The regulars voted
for a time in Charleston with Doug
las in the lead, then adjourned to Bal

admitted. there was another bolt and
the regulars finally declared Douglas

WHEN THE CONVENTION
SPLIT AT CHARLESTON
Northern and Southern Democrats Were
Divided on che Slavery Question.

suuatter sovereignty doctrine III lS3 !
he put the country on the road TO civ
il war When the southern men walk
ed out OF the Democratic presidential
convention in Charleston in 1860 they
practically set the date for h>stlll-
ties
Dramatic conventions there haV'a
been a-plenty. But generally the real
issue has been merely personal. Del
egates have quarreled over The ques-
ton whether the nominee should be
Blaine or Grant, Sherman or Harrl-
son. But in the assembly that met
at Charleston principles were at stake
and the platform was far more impor-
tant than the nominee. The same
thing was true of the Democratic
convention of 1896. but there can be
no comparison between the questions
involved.

In lS56, when Buchanan was nom
mated at Cincinnati, the party had
contented itself with standing by the
compromise measures OF 1850 and the
Kansas Nebraska act. But since that
time events had moved swiftly.
Brooks had assaulted Sumner in the
senate chamber, John Brown had
raided Harper's ferry and passions
had been too strongly aroused for
men to accept policies that had salts
tied them four years previously.
The issue was clean cut The
northern Democrats We're ready to
support Douglas and to follow him on
squatter sovereignty. The south
would have none of him because OF
his "Freeport doctrine
In the great debate with Lincoln al
Freeport, Ill, Douglas had been fore
ed to declare that congress could not
Introduce slavery into a territory
against the will of the inhabitants,
because by "unfriendly legislation
and police regulations they could
make it impossible to hold men in
bondage.
Such a theory could never satisfy
the south, which demanded protection
for its property wherever the federal
government had control.
The convention met April 23 with
the northern men in the majority. al
