The situation which confronts the
democrats Of this county in the APP
prosching election Is such as to
demand sober sense and wise action.
After having passed through a cam
paign Of extraordinary bitterness, 10
which democrats became estranged
from each other because OF difference
aud intensity OF conviction, their
demoralized ranks are about TO 60
again into conflict with the common
enemy flushed with partial victory
and encouraged by the hope Of aid
from abroad. The national republi
cans will doubtless this year attempt
to recover in Missouri the ground lost
in Ohio. Aud the prospect is to
them encouraging, unless the demo.
Gratis can magnanimouslg work to-
gether to accomplish a common end.
together" is the proper
phrase, for "harmony'' in the repub-
lican sense OF the term never did
exist and neve can exist in the DEM
ocratic party anywhere, Democracy
stands for individualism; and for this
reason party platforms have less bind
ing force and party organization less
authority in the democratic party
than in any other party that ever
existed in America. The essentials
Of democratic doctrine are universally
accepted in the ranks; but these very
essentials teach the individual demo.
Gratis to cherish their Independent
sovereignty as a fundamental right.
Democrats are accustomed to diver
gence of views upon the application
even Of the most universally accepted
principles, upon the smaller %particu-
lars Of party policy, and upon tine
availability Of party candidates. But
in the last campaign in this county
Jnls divergence of opinion went SO far
as to make democrats mad at each
other. Aud now it remains to be
seen which the democrats Of this
county hold dearer, their personal
antipathles or their party principles.
There is no way Of lodging this issue
and Its resultant responsibility. La
fayette is a democratic county by a
majority OF a thousand votes. II it
should 60 republican, the responsible
ity must rest somewhere. Surely
nobody would willingly assume this
responsibility. 1t ought to be pos.
sible, lit is possible, for the demo
Gratis in this county to work together
tremendously aud magnanimously fol
the party good. The past has to be
buried 10 politics as In other things.
There is not a single valid reason
for carrying the differences Of year
before last into the campaign of thi:
year. There ought to be no difficulty
in selecting a ticket Of good men and
Of electing the ticket after II Is
nominated. The means OF bringing
about a cooperation Of forces is a
detail to be worked out by those who
have enough party virtue and courage
to undertake it. The resolution to
cooperate for the party good Is one
that every democrat should make to
his own conscience today. A way can
be found, If there is enough Of earnest
purpose to find IL.

modified; as a game they are unanimous in stat
ing their favor Of football. *
Professor John n. Greer, principal of Central
high school, said: II am not an enemy of foot
ball. l do believe that notifications that will
serve to eliminate some of the present rough
features of the play should be made, and I
