EDITORIAL OPINION

World. or any one. give why the Demo-
cratic party, or any party should func-
tion during the period Of the war?
Until party government Is given up
the project OF the ''young Mr.. Hayes
10 reconcile the various elements Of the
Republican party would appear TO be
perfectly legitimate and laudable. Only
when that distinguished statesman, who
has described himself as the captain
Of the tDemOcratic) team reverses his
attitude and announces that during the
war he VIII not recognize party service

incumbent upon Mr.. Hayes, and others
with him. 30 deslst from any endeavor
10 reorganlze the Republican party.
IL Is inconceivable that the World
intends 10 propose that there be only
one political party. Nothing worse
could happen for tho Democratic party
or the nation. II is also inc0nceivablt
that II desires that there should be no
party. Nothing worse could happen foI
the President or government. or the
people, than that men and women hold
ing views in common should not organ
lie for purposes OF united action. Free
discussion and free action are the very
spirit and essence OF democracy.
