Democratic Harmony.

Report has long been prevalent In
the county that the democrats Of
Lexington township are hopelessly
Eent into hostile, irreconcilable
isctions and that there is persistent
determination upon the part OF large
bodies Of democrats here to carry
into tie county campaign Of 1906 the
issues and the memories Of the
campaign Of 1904, 1t is believed
chat the two documents printed
below will convince most readers
that such is not the case. These
documents are presented not so much
IN evidence of an effort to patch up a
truce and ''get together as of their
having been at peace and IN a spirit
Of harmony all the time II will be
observed that the first resolution
merely suggests what the slgners
believe to be an equitable division Of
representation on the county
democratic committee as a means Of
satisfying and bringing to the polls
sll the democrats OF the township.
The second resolution expresses the
concurrent opinion OF a large body OF
democrats formerly opposed to the
X AminaIion OF Mr.. Folk for governor,
Aho came together to receive the
4 first resolution. Or course it was
Impossible within the few days
during which this action was taxed
to get an expression Of opinion Of
every democrat In the township, but
j is believed by those who have been
active 10 this matter that these
resolutions express practically the
unanimous sentimentA Of tht
democrats of Lexington township
The resolutions are as follows:
Being convinced that the D mo
cratic party, in the interest O
harmony and success at the approach
Ing November election, demands tn.
burial Of past factional ditTeienc
We deem the following programm,
advisable:
First.-That as an initial step Ii
this direction, the original supporter
10 Lafayette County Of Joseph W
Folk for governor be allowed Il
select the secretary for the ncx
county committee and two OF ihI
members thereof from Lexington
township; and that those democr,t Ii
Of the county who preferred som,
other candidate Tor governor b
allowed to select the chairman 0
said committee and the other on
member thereof for said township.
Second That there ought TO be al
equitable division Of the remaInde
Of said committee from the othe
townships Of the county.
Third, That we will use our bes
efforts to induce all democrats to ali
in carrying out the foregoing PROPOSE
tions.
\ Fourth. That copy OF the sam
be submitted to a committe
appointed by democrats who's
original choice for governor was 20
Mr.. Folk, for their approval an
acceptance.

The Japanese ambassador has call
ed upon Secretary Root regarding the
treatment OF the Mikados subjects in
California. The Japanese in this
country have never been subjected
to the brutal and inhuman treatment
that the Chinese have been, and
doubtless never will be. Their war
with Russia has proven them to be
a race Of fighting men, and such men
are always respected, japan would
never submit to see her people treat
ed the way those of China in this
country have been. She would fight
first But the day has forever gone
by, we hope. when such an outrage as
the Rock Springs massacre could be re-
peated.
