 WILL DEMOCRATS
 BECOME STEADY.
 The Courier-Journal. of Louis vile. edited by that grand old dem oerat. Henry Waterson. is doing much these days to cheer the dem ocratic heart of Kentucky and of the country. and at the same time to give warning against the dangers that must be avoided if success is to come to the party next year. The following is an extract from one of Mir Waterson's recent edi- torials. which Is worthy of the earn est consideration of all democrats;
 The republican party of the na- tion s no longer a Dreadnaught t Is as completely rent by trdstisil and high protection as was the democratic party by free silver. Its sin of class legislation and predd- tory wealth has found it out. Mean while the democratic party has again become a unit. having eA- plated its foIlies and shed it's fac tions. The consequence is that we stand upon the threshold of na- tisnal election with the assurance of electing R democratic president and of reversing the partisan char aeter of the general government
 Democracy sails before the wind. RepubiicanIsm sails against the wind. Our bark rides flowing tide. Their bark rides an ebbing tide This is so obvious that thoughtful republicans see no hope except in some democratic folly, such as has so often in the past saved them from shipwreck."
 During the last fifteen years the democratic party has been divided as between the radicalism of Bryan, who clung to measures first advo- cated by populists, and the conser- yatives. who have refused to follow after the heresies of populism and socialism; stin there are democrats today who are proposing to drop the old and tried democratic an- chors and go after follies far more radical than any radiealism of Bry- an or any of his campaigns. There are a few outlawed republican sen ators. who in the reciprocity legis. lation have proven that they arc insincere in their pretensions, who are looked up to by some demo. ; +crats as being above common. hu- manity because of their howls for those things which will drive the democratic party again on the rocks of distress should they ever be made prominent in a national campaign. The republican progress sive league may succeed in stirring Iup dissensions in the democratic party by their leather-lunged howls for their progressive measures. but not one will stand hitched to either faction of the democratic party when the time comes for electing national candidates. Every one ol these insurgents will be lined uI behind William Howard Taf against any democrat who could be named, no matter how progressive he might. be. The insursent lead CTS were just as emphatic before the national convention of the re publican party in 1908 as they ar' today for tariff revision. but wheI their demands at the Chicago con vention were ignored, they forge their demands and refused to sup port the democratic candidate, wh' stood on a platform containing al their radical demands.
 Following after populism and So .cialism has in the past kept tn democratic party from power, an 1T the party this year goes beyon' the radicaiism of Bryan, then " sbaII consider that a golden oppol tunity has been again thrown [ the winds.
