UNITED PARTY TO FACE FOE
Democrats In Agreement on All tho
Main Issues That VIII Come
Before tho Country.

Governor Harmon oil Ohio stated no
more or less than the truth when he
said at Omaha:
There is no sound reason for seri-
GUS disagreement among Democrats.
The wishes and ambitions Of individu-
ais have not feathers weight com
pared with the interests OF the party
and its bright prospects. There are no
present vital national questions on
which all Democrats do not substan-
TALLY agree, and we shall not attract
the confidence of the country by let
ting such differences as there may be
about other matters mar the party
harmony"
The Democrats OF the country are
united on the general Issue OF tariif
reduction. They are united, with rare
exceptions. on specific measures OF
tariff reduction as passed by the Dem
ocratic house.
They are united against trust mo-
nopoly and for trade regulation by
competition.
They are united in favor OF an in
SolHe IAN anu pihcinB part VI tht iSu
eral expense burden on wealth.
They are united for the popular
election OF United States senators, for
publicity In campaign expenditures
before elections, for less extravaganza
in government, for relief OF the people
from the growing costs of public ad-
ministrati !.
Democrats like Cove. lor Harmon
and Mr.. Bryan disagree about such
Innovations as the initiative referen.
dunn and recall. but they are agreed
that these have no part in national
platform.
Not before in twenty years. not be-
fore since Clevelands s last election to
the presidency, has the party been in
such accord on the great public Issues
OF the day.-New York World.
