Democratic ticket precisely as if it stood for our original convictions and preferences, hoping always for an ulti- mate return to Democracy, unterrified and undefled; the Constitution immuta- ble and supreme except as amended ac. cording to its own provisions; the rep resentative character of the government intact against presidential usurpation and judicial construction; home rule in state, county, and city; the equal rights of all men, whether taken en masse or organized into labor unions and fran. ehise corporations, just taxation, local and national, and, above all and before all, tariff for revenue only.
 AS the support of the Courier-Journal will cost the party managers nothing, they can accept it or leave it alone, just as they please. It does not care hill of beans for their like or their dislike, their confidence or their dis trust. It has received little else than eontumely from them the last ten or dozen years, during which it has given them in return nothing but good advice and support, which, if not always en- thusiastic, became intellectual only when crippled by their own acts of folly, as in the last state canvass.
 It has made some sacrifices of opin. ion and feeling to get to Mir. Bryan, the way to him made harder by MT. Bryan himself. For Mir. Bryan personally it entertains only sentiments of friendly good will. In case he is elevated to the presidency, it will neither ask nor ac' cept favor at his hands; but, if he is it will be the attitude and argument of the Courier-Journal that elect him that is bringing to his support that great element which has hitherto op posed him. In short and in fine, tho Courier Journal is a Democrat, as far a: the blind leaders of the blind will al low it to be, and has good hope of see ing the national ticket of the party headed by Mir. Bryan, win in the cam paign immediately before us.
