WHAT is A DEMOCRAT 2"

Nashville Tennessean.I
Mr.. Bryan's mate modesty and
his evident fairness of mind nee
essarily precluded references to
his own personal views as to what
the Democratic party stands for in
his answer to the question, "What
is Democrat?"
All definition is unsatisfactory.
From its very nature it limits and
circumscribes, and that is some
thing that no party, no religion,
no science, no philosophy, can do
without doing violence to the work
itsets out to do.
Politics, as does each other realm
Of thought, should and does follow
progress. Progress means new
conditions, new issues, new men,
new institutions and new ideals
The party that follows these must
have the power of adaptability.
So that any definition of any party
must be confined to the most gen.
eral and comprehensive terms.
Mr.. Bryan rightly held his def
nition within general boundaries.
Democracy is the rule of the peo-
pie. A Democrat is one who be-
lieves in that kind of rule. And,
carried to it's logical conclusion,
Democracy means also the direct
voice of the people in legislation
and administration wherever and
whenever it does not cumber the
machinery Of government and
therefore defeat it's own purpose.
On the other hand, the practice
of the Republican party has been
to furnish proxies~for the people
in the matter of government. 1t
has been the middleman, so to
speak, between the people and the
system we call government.
"Frequently it has been recreant
to its trust and has represented
and enacted it's own policies in lieu

The institute then adjourned un
til | o'clock p. M, when it was call
ed to order by the president, who
called Commissioner ohm Thomp
son to the chair and an election
was held, which resulted in the re-
election by acclamation of the
present incumbents, j. p. Lashlee
and l. N. Bridges for president
and secretary respectively.
Then the president announced
the committee on delegation as
follows: A. G.. Mcdaniel, L. E.
Davis, j. L. Wright, j. G. Cowell,
William Allen, ?. A. Swindell, w.
r. Marchbanks, jr., A. F. Presson
and H.. w. Hatley.
The institute was then addressed
by S. nj. Balm, professor of botany
at the Tennessee Experiment Sta
tion on the subject of clover and
their diseases, and also by Hol-
comb Robertson on poultry, but
we are sorry to say that the latter
address, which was an important
one, was greatly disturbed by the
counter harangue of a wandering
preacher on the street.
A resolution was introduced by
d. B. Thomas and adopted en-
dorsing J. w. Jones Of Hardeman
County and j, E. Montgomery of
Weakley County for commission
ers to locate the experiment sta
tion to be established in West
Tennessee; also one by d. G. Hud-
son memorializing the next gen
eral assembly and calling on said
body to add the elements of agri-
culture to the public school cur
riculum and requiring same to be
taught in our schools.

made the following report, towit:

of those confded to it by the pee
pie. Under its rule and practice
has sprung up the undemocratic
domination of the trusts and cor
porate interests" They have sup
planted the peoples rule by tho
aid of the Republican party and
substituted their own.
Try to disguise it as they may,
the Republican party stands for
just this kind of rule today. The
Democratic party does not. 1t be-
