DEMOCRATS DON'T VOTE.

Charles A Edwards, secretary Of
the democratic congressional commit
tee at Washington, in discussing the
result Of the last election. says that
the very thing that eeps the demo-
cratic party out Of power is the indif-
ference Of democrats to Lll' CUJy Of
voting on election day.
THE lesson of this election should
come home to the people with added
force and effect" he says, simply be
cause they did not exert their prerO-
gatives as a voter, and a killer, there
fore, Of vicious practices and pOliti-
cal evils. The democracy has lost the
house by between forty and fifty, in
the Sixieth congress. It should have
won As I said some time ago, 116
majority republican in the house Of
representatives was an hercUlean
task to overcome. It could have been
overcome II the democrats Of the
United States, who really are derlO-
Gratis, who believe in democratic Drin-
ciples, had come out and voted their
honest convictions, because there were
enough men acknowledgements
Can0lQaLeS- less Indu SUU uldJOE4LJ1
to have won the house
The trouble with the democratic
party in this country is that they DO
not go to the polls and vote. The rea-
son they do not vote is because they
are satisfied. Satisfaction means con-
tentment, and cOntentment means in
difference to the political ills that dis
turb this country, and make it a COun-
try Of, for and by the trusts, and not
the people. It seems to me, after tea
years Of service in Washington as a
newspaper correspondent, and SIX
years service as secretary Of the demo
cratic congressional committee, there
is nothing which viii overcome the re-
publican majority in the house or the
republican majority in the nation
from q presidential standpoint, ex-
cept absolute poverty, and a pinch
ing IN the belly which viii make men
think Of the cruel wrongs being
wrought by the trusts and cOmbina-
tons, absorbing the money Of the
masses"
