Physical Examiner Edward G. Westlake is in

DEMOCRACY.

Speaking of Governor Johnson's po- litical beliefs and expressions, The Richmond Times Dispatch predicts that before the people again they will give 1t the same welcome that Grover C1eve- land received in 1884 and in 1Ss2." We'll soon come when the Cleveland style of Democracy will prevail.--MontgomeFy Advertiser.

 We are very sorry that such an opin- ion as the above should find expression in a paper usually so conservative and fair-minded as The Enterprise Ledger. If there is no difference between cleve- landism and Republicanism, as The Ledger seems to think then there has been some wonderful mlsconception of issues by an immense majority of the Democrats of this country. Mir. CIeve- land has always been an advocate of the great principle of the lowest form of taFiff taxation consistent with an economical administration of the Gov ernment. If that is not Democratic doctrine, then we have been very badly misinformed. In his two administra- tions, every effort was made to secure honesty in a public office, and at the same time with the least burden upon the people. He did not lay claim to aristocratic power and pop the big whip and wield the big stick but sought by arguments and proper pre- sentation of questions to have his ideas carried into effect. but always inside the well-marked lines of Democratic principle.
 Today the Republican party stands committed to a high protective tarin. to sectional legislation. to extravagance in administration. to contempt of the rights of the State and to base sub servience to one-man power.
 MT. Cleveland now. as ever Is in direct opposition to such policies, and we are beginning to believe that a ma Jority of the people would show that they are like minded if they could find way to express their sentiments.

What Happened in Georgia.


 As a matter of fact. the elements which the Hoke Smith forces claim defeated them were present in much smaller degree than claimed. What happened in Georgia Is that the people as a whole realized the injury that was being done the state by the con tinuation of destructive politics. Gov. Smith was selected as the representa- tive of policies that appeared at the time to be for the betterment of the agricultural and industrial interests or the state. The people got all the leg islation they wanted. but the effects were not according to program. The responsibility for legislations rests up- on the people to some extent, but the greatest part should be placed upon the popular leaders" who advised such legislation as Georgia has been laboring under for over 8 year, and who, being better informed and more experienced than the general citizen ship, should have known what the et- feet would be.
 The nomination of Mir. Brown for governor Is a repudiation of political teaching that the people have found 10 be of no value A remarkable fea- ture of the campaign was that the successful candidate did not make public address during the time that 1t lasted, contenting himself with stat ing his position in brief form and Inak- ing no promises of what he would or would not do if elected. He Is person ally unknown to the majority of the people who voted for him. It was not the man who won. therefore; 1t was the principle he stood for-conserva- tism in government; and the people of Georgia are to be congratulated that they were true to the traditions of the state in supporting that prin- ciple

A DISCOVERY.

The chAeago Post has made the won darful discovery that i've. the people" accomplished the passage of the cur rency bill. that was forced through the Senate when that body was just ready to adjourn, and when we suspect that many of the Senators were asleep. Says The Post:
 Hard on the heels of the currency legislation, wrested from Congress at the eleventh hour, comes, like a spent huntsman toiling to be in at the death, the mock-serious question, Who did 1t? Who secured the law? That to any one newspaper or any one individual be- longs more than a common share of the credit is absurd. All thoughtful and conscientious newspapers have in re- cent months voiced the demands of the public for a currency law. Had they done less they would have failed in their duty to the people.
 The credit for the victory won be- longs. and must ever belong, to the people as a whole who have forced their none-too willing representatives to enact the law In which the country today rejoices. The people once more have demonstrated that in the final struggle they are supreme. greater than Congressional opposition or private clique. What the united public wants 1t generally gets. It wanted currency legislation; 1t got tt.
 This is rather too much for The In- dIanapolis Star. loyal as 1t is to the Party which forced the bill through at the last moment. Considering" 1t re- marks, ''the fact that the people were not asking for currency legislation at all; that few of them knew what the Aldrieh -Vreeland bill was, and that those who did know were relentlessly opposed to 1t, this achievement of The Posts must be accounted one of the most wonderful discoveries ever made of things that never happened. So the people are to be told. are they, that they demanded this emergency cur- rency, that by a superhuman effort they wrested 1t from an unwilling AL drich and Cannon and that they are to be supremely grateful to themselves for doing themselves this amazing good turn? From all of which hollow mock cry and weak and foolish invention. The Star win pray to be excused"
 we, the people of England" began the three tailors of Tooley Street. Lon don, when issuing their famous mani festo. and they were about as accurate and sensible as The Post is in its claims. It is true that some newspa- pers and some public men insisted that some kind of currency bill should be passed at the late session. but the great majority of the real people of the coun- try neither knew nor cared anything about 1t, and what is more, they do not know what the bill Is or what 1t Is in- tended to accomplish. It may be pos sible, though we cannot say, that the effects of this eleventh hour legisla- ton may be felt by the people of the United States, but unless this comes about they know little and perhaps care less about the matter. The Chicago paper has made a discovery.

 whether this kind of talk has had the erect desired in other States re- mains to be seen It is now being handed about In the hotel Hobbies in Chicago It Is reported that the allies, once they are convinced none of their number stands any chance of nomina- tion, will consolidate their strength so far as possible and deliver 1t to the President. whether he will or not.
 By way ofs explaining this unex- pected turn to the man whose policies they have asserted hurt the large bus mess interests of the country. the re- ply is made that MT. Roosevelt nas gone ss far as he will go in the matter of his general policy. The blow. they say. has fallen, and. although the rail- roads and other corporations engaged in interstate business have lost mil- lions, business already Is adjusting It. self to the new order of things.
 If. on the other hand. they assert, Taft or anybody else is nominated, the ante election period of uncertainty and depression inevitably will follow, and all that has been gained since the re- adjustment of businesses following the rate law and other drastic policies Of the President went into effect will be lost.
 These same corporate interests also have faith in the hope that through Mir. Roosevelt, and through him alone. they will be freed from the restrictions irn- posed upon interstate corporations by the different State legislatures, re- strictfons In the shape of legislation that has been far more disastrous. from their point of view. than anything done by Congress, or through proposed Fed eral legislation.

 We hope that the coming national convention may adopt a genuine Dem ocratic platform and place upon 1t a genuine Democrat for the presidency. This idea that most people have that anything is Democracy when incorpo- rated in @ platform adopted by con veution composed of men calling them selves Democrats, is all wrong. De- nocracy means something. If we had more Democracy and less ochlocracy in this country we would be vastly better off. There is a wide distinction be- tween Democracy and ochlocracy. The former is rule by the many through means of laws duly enacted: the later is mob law, 1. C., a state of anarchy Tn which the multitude makes their arbitrary and every varying will the only law in force Herodotus describes Democracy as 1t existed in ancient Greece, the first country perhaps where 1t was ever allowed scope for develop ment So. you see, Democracy is no new thing. The Democratic party In this country is more than a hundred years old, though the complete evolu- tfon of the party may be said to date from the accession of Andrew Jackson. Tn. the election of Lincoln the party lost the supremacy which it held with little Interruption for sixty years. Since that time the United States has had but one Democratic president that grand old man. Grover Cleveland. May God speed the day when we shall have another fashioned like him.
