MR.. WaLSH'S ERROR.

Mr. Walsh. whose formal letter q
resignation as secretary Of the Den
ocratic National committee is given
in the dispatches this morning. makes
the mistake Of assuming that the Dem
ocratic party is the enemy of all cor
porations and should therefore bani D
from positions of authority in the
party all who have any Connection WITT
them. The Democratic party is the
enemy Of trusts which are enabled go
make unjust demands from the people
81 this country because of protection
and special privileges accorded them
by the government. or because of law,
less combinations. But It is the
friend OF the corporation which
serve the public leg timately. aud Mr.
Walsh's TRADE against other members
Of the committee because they have
interests in corporations. must fall
