AS Chief Justice Fuller of the United
tates supreme court disappeared into
ne retiring room of the justices at the
hpitol the other day, a veteran news
bper correspondent remarked that the
ppointment of the chief justice by Pres
lent Cleveland proved a great surprise
the country, as no one in a position to
bow had mentioned the name of Mr.
hlller in connection with the office. All
le newspaper correspondents in Wash
gton at that time were trying their
kst to get a tip, as to the probable APP
pintee, and the names of nearly all the
eminent lawyers in the country and
my district judges were mentioned as
Dbable successors to the late Chief
Ntice Waite.

paper made the lucky guess, and the

Evolution in Party Politics.

This may not mean the development
of good in politics, and that is the apol
ogy for this article.
A glorious history is that which i
2 handed down by the founders and til,
defenders Of Democratic principles. O
all ages democracy has been the rising
sun OF nations. Nations rise with dem
ocracy and fall with empires. Democ
racy is coextensiye with the greatest
period Of our history
The Democratic party is the party Of
Jefferson, the party Of Stephens, Of Cal
houn, Jackson, later the party Of L. Q.
C.Lamar, Of Beck, Vest, Voorhees,, Nor
gan, Harris. These and hundreds OF
illustrious names have emblazoned its
history. These men were patriotic
Democrats.

Thirty pieces Of silver was cheap.

er-to-be-forgotten lesson that the bond
Of sympathy between Eastern and
Southern Democrats was like that which
achieved the harmonious confluence
Of incompatible elements, like making
