TALK or REORGANIZATION.

As was 20 be expected, we are
again hearing Of the reorganization
Of the democratic party as result
Of the recent defeat. The suggestion
comes, OF course, from the mugwump
press, which is always ready to give
advice but rarely ready to aid the
party In Its campaigns, says the
Houston Post.
The democfa c party Is neither
dead nor disorganized Under all cir.
cumstances It did well. II conduct.

post belum period Its platform,
while not satisfactory to all demo

Of the fundamentals and did not
prove source Of weakness any.
whore. The canvass Of Mr.. Bryan
was the loftiest and most inspiring
appeal TO the conscience OF the ns-
tlon that has ever been made and
II will yet bear fruit in higher
standards OF political morality.
The talk Of repudiating Mr.. Bryan
Is absurd Mr.. Bryan was nominated
because the masses Of that party
desired n and he discharged the
duty thus imposed upon him like
man and like patriot. He viii.

party whether no receives anothe!
nomination or not.
The results I'm Ohio. NebrasEa.
Indiana. Colorado and Minnesota
show that the democracy is not de.
cadent, that II Is yet potent force
for good. and that instead of re-
organization II merely needs such
as recent events have
made necessary all OF which will
come about without calling in anv
OF the doctors n mugwumpery to
prescribe for II.
There is no lack OF good men and
true-men who are qualified hy

Of these is 10 be exalted into the
leadership is matter for lime
and events to determine and time
and events will determine II with.
out the aid Of political sooners.
We have presidential timber ia
Texas just as we have II in Ohio,
Nebraska. Minnesota and other states
and at the proper time united
party will get behind the right
man and make the fight for honesty,
economy, righteousness and the con
stitution Just as earnestly and Just
as cleanly as Mr.. Bryan made It
this year.
And the country may he sure that
whatever decision the party may
make hereafter with respect TO the
candidate or platform. William y
Bryan will be found doing his duty
iust as he has done II ever since
he became n potential force In dem
ocratic councils.
We are disappointed, of course,
hut not discouraged. The principles
Of democracy upon which the repub.
lie was founded will yet find an
abiding place in the hearts OF the
pconlc and the day will yet come
when the evils OF the republican era
shall pass away and righteousness
shall cNalt the nation.
