A Democratic Complaint.

1.-THE Republican party continues 10

the New York sun.
The phrase is brief but it is siEnifi-
cant. There Is made manifest the
will be that of the country to Repub-
lican principles and a Republican ma
tional administration. The Democrats
feel the ground slipping from under
them. They are much disturbed by
what they term the destructive
criticism Of Mr. Hughes. His criti-
cism could not be otherwise. The
Democrats have done much destructive
work, and as the work has been SO
must the criticism be.
The complaint, however, is amusing.
Mr.. Hughes represents principles
which are antagonistiC TO those pro-
claimed by the Democrats Conse-
qucntly. in advocating his party's prin-
ciples, he must necessarily show up
the fallacies OF the Democratic point
of view and the failures which have
characterized the Democratic national
administration. He has done SO clear
ly but with due regard TO the proprie-
ties. He has not assailcd the Dcmnc-
racy in the terms with which he has
been assaulted by many Of the lesser
lights Of the Democracy who can not
separate abuse from criticism
While not agreeing either with the
principles or the performances of the
present executive OF the nation he has
always shown proper respect for the
position he occupies. This respect.
however. does not shut the mouth Of
the Republican candidate. nor does it
prevent his criticism OF Democratic
measures and policies which deserve
It even II that criticism strikes the
Democrats MS destructive" The fault
lies not in Mr. Hughes. It is in the
subjects that lend themselves to this
criticism
The Democratic confession Of the
force Of Mr. HuEhes's analysis Of the
situation is all the comfort the Repub-
Leans can ask for. II shows that they
recognize It's power and effectiveness.

.Iohn,s Strategy Rnnrd.

Every time John Cornwell stands
up and cries out In fearful wrath
against the progress of the state
which he characterizes as "extrava-
gancc and mere excuse for the creR-
ton Of more and more Offices and com
missions and boards" there is a
standing challenge many times pub
lished In the Republican press of
this state which reads. MIR. Cornwell.
II YOU are elected which department
OF the state administration will you
abolish, which commission will you
put out Of business" Cornwell Is
careful not TO answer this one vital
question. That is bad enough; but
he makes his remarks doubIy insin-
cerc by winding up his speeches with
the promise. not that he will abolish
any certain department, but that he
will add another, his efficiency COM

this'-that as governor. and his Dem
ocratic legislature and appolntees at
the capitol. themselves inefficient and
unable to conduct the affairs OF state,
would have to create n so-called
"strateGy-bonrd," TO help him and
them do II? Cornwell is likewise
careful not to name that strategy
board" just now. The people OF West
Virginia might want to have some
thing to say about man going to
Charleston whom them had elected,
who proposed to turn over the state
affairs TO somebody whom they had
not elected.
