LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Ofhcialism.

Mr. EDITOR:
When the voters of a county elect
one of their number to high county
Office should the duties of his Office
be performed in accordance with the
wishes and for the good of the in
habitants of the whole county or for
the benefit of small political ring of
perhaps a dozen politicians, or in
other words should this high official
show flvoritism and personal preju-
dice in the appointment of deputy
officers? In the rights of Justice,
morality and proper observance and
carrying out of the laws enacted by
and for the whole people there can be
but one correct answer to the above
questions, but from an instance of
the violation of the principle set forth
that has come under the observation
of the writer, he has been induced
to put them before the public so that
each voter in Orleans county can in
his own mind decide them. One of
the most able, efficient, correct depu
ties in the county and one to whom
has been committed some of the
largest cases, financial, where
thousands of dollars were at stake,
has had his official head cut off
by the appointing power who has
supposedly been Influenced by the
ring mentioned. In all of the large
cases, some of which required the
serving of from thirty to forty writs,
the officers doings and returns have
been found correct and none have
been overruled by any court before
which they have come. In fact one
prominent attorney, who is now
supreme Judge, remarked upon the
correctness of the returns in some of
the intricate cases. This deputy has
become very popular as an officer
with the attorneys in the county and
the people for whom he has done
business, as is shown by the amount
of business committed to him, and his
being deposed from Office is looked
upon with great disfavor and will
probably be remembered by the
voters in the future. Probably 500
names could have been obtained on
a petition for reappointment but
he will not ask for it.

After Bryan's failure to satisfactorily
answer the New York Worlds q1es
ton, What is a democratic" the
World publishes the following signifi-
cant editorial. In speaking of the
democratic party the World says:
Here is a great political party with
more than a hundred years of unbro-
ken history of uninterrupted tradi-
ton. 1t has fought twenty
presidential campaigns and has won
fourteen of them.
Ii survived notification; it sur
yived secession; il survived slav-
ery; it survived silver. Although it
has now been out of power
for ten years, it was once out of pow
er for twenty -four years consecutive
", TO win in the end one of the most
brilliant victories in its career. No
political organization in the history OF
repu olican Institutions has shown a
more amazing vitality.
Yet when The World, accused OF
not being democratic itself, asks
"What is a democrat?n there is no
answer. Even the acknowledged
leader of the party, who has twice
been its candidate for president, Is
unable to frame a definition which
distinguishes a democrat from a re-
publican.
If The Worlds question is un-
answerable, then We must conclude
that the old barriers between the
parties have been broken down, thai
the parties have merged in all except
name and organization, and that there
are no longer vital differences be-
tween them; that the issue now is no
one of measures, but of men; not o
principles, but of persons; not of con
fiicting policies of government, but o
conflicting administrators.
Republican and democrat thus be
come interchangeable terms, excep
in matters Of leadership, unless there
is conclusive and acceptable answe
TO The Worlds question.
If this be the case, then there cal
be only one issue in the next presi
