The o any part or function of an

writes w. G. Palmer of the North Da-

the democratic party and the other the former

upon existing conditions and in their attempt to salts

not offer any definite legislation policy by which the
happy conditions they promise to be brought about
but if their promises anything they lead directly
toward the appropriation Of what belongs to man.
to another. The truth u.s. my friends both those who
have left the republican party under the inspiration of
their present leader, and old opponents, the demo-
crafts under their candidates, are going in a d.

end they can not defin tely describe, with but
one chief and clear OBJ ect, and that is of &C
quring power for their party by popular support

they clamor for is change they ask for change in

governmental and election machinery which shall faci

failure of the people to devote much time as is nee
essary to their political duties by requiring political
activity by the people three times that which thus far
the people have been willing to assume; and thus they
propose remedies which, instead Of exciting the people
to further interest and activity in the government will
tire them into such Indifference still further to
remand control of public affairs to minority.
