A RECORD OF NEGATION.
The Democratic Party To-day What
1t Has Been Since 1860.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: As ! am
may be at fault. but 1t seems to me
that the present Democratic party Is the
same as II has been since 1860.
1t tried TO destroy the Union. It lam
pooned and harassed Lincoln. In 1864
when Grant was trying to end the war
the Democratic National Convention at
Chicago nominated Mcclellan on a plat
form denouncing Lincoln and calling the
war a failure.
In 1872 IL nominated Horace Greeley.
the noted Abolitlonist, who had said
time and again. Show me n blaokleg
or gambler or n horse thief and / will
show you a Democrat"
Three times II nominated w. J. Bryan
on platforms destructive OF our national
credit and of our commerce. In short
II has been party of negation. Con-
structive legislation has never been ex-
ercIsed by IT,
The country has never sQce 1850 been
anything else but Republican. Cleveland
was e'ected owing TO n split In the party
at New York. Wilson was elected in
1912 owing to the same cause in 1916
he was elected by the craven slogan
"He kept us out of war" and the treach-
cry Of some Pacific coast voters
But to-day the q. o. p. is united for
one great issue. America for Ameri-
cans" To be Independent and never
dependent, ever ready to help the needy
but not by measures of force.
Warren @. Harding and Calvin Coo
ildge will be elected and once more we

To THE NEW YORK HERALD Just be-

II may be well to remind the American
people of the existence Of the Wilson

vide a simpler mechanism for expert
menting with delay processes in respect
to war than is found in the Covenant.
They bind the contracting parties to
refer all disputes between them-if not
adjusted through other means--for re-
port and investigation TO an interna-
tional commission. And they further
agree not to declare war or commit any
act OF hostility against each other dur
ing such investigation and before the

States at Riga, who was quoted by
the Department OF State.
The tale was grossly improbable;
il has been denied by Senator HAIR
DING. Mr.. WELLS has cleared himself
Of il. Only the State Department now
clings TO this report, quibbling over
the fact that Mr.. WELLS had not been
represented as having been physically
present In Riga, and emphasizing"
the declaration that
Secretary Colby had made no
charges but had merely given out a
statement based on an official report
from Commissioner YOUNG at Riga,
and that there had been no charges
on Secretary CoLBY's part against
Senator HARDING"
Secretary Colby made no charges
against Senator HARDING He merely"
gave out a statement which repre-
sented Senator HARDING Nas traffick-
ing with LENINE for recognition of
the Bolshevik dictatorship through
the agency Of man seeking conces-
sions from that dictatorship! With
all the prestige Of the Office of Secre-
tary of State behind him, he did not
charge Senator HARDING with doing
this, but merely" announced officially
it was reported Senator HARDING was
doing it
Senator HARDING has summed the
case up admirably. He says:
THE entire matter is relatively
unimportant. except that 1t reveals
the depths to which our once great
Department OF State has fallen, and
emphasizes the need of restoring 1t
to the reliability and dignity becom-
ing our great Republic"
OF the minor scandals Of the Demo
cratic Administration this incident,
the degradation of the Department of
State for the partisan persecution of
a political opponent matches in mean-
ness. in depravity and in contemplate
cowardice and In cynical disregard
for ordinary deceney anything which
has so far been revealed.

Rumania's possession OF Bessarabla,

throughout the peace conference. was
confirmed formally this afternoon when
the Powers signed the convention Civ
ing Bessarabia outright to Rumania,
despite the fact that Russia was not
represented at the ceremony.
While the convention gives certain
future rights TO any Russian Govern

territory an area almost as large as she

United states was not represented.
President Wilson maintained that this
was an unwarranted despolintion of
Russia. which has held Bessarabia ctnce
1872, when she was separated from
Moldavia by an agreement with the
Sublime Porte. Ii represents n pure
conquest on the part OF Rumana. The
Allies are believed TO have signed the

should vote for the Fusion candidates.
Their nomination by both parties does

But the thing to be remembered by
the voter who wants to see good men

theirs are the last four names on the

Governments Belief.

AS to the question OF Prince Paul's
accession to and Constantine's renuncia
ton of the, throne some Of Constan-
tines partisans are pessim!stic and say
that his return is impossible. In Gov
eminent circles 1t is believed that Con-
stantine will refuse to approve Prince
FauPs accession until after the cleo
items, so as not to destroy the platform
OF his adherents. Later II is though :.
re may comply with the Governments
requirements.
There Is talk that Constantine's sup
porters. realizing his unpopularity, will
throw over his cause and turn to the
former heir apparent. Prince George. l.
is asserted that Constantine, despite his
outward attitude, would be glad of such
a solution. Others take q darit view
declaring that ex-King Constantine will
remain inflexible even after the cleo
tons and refuse to ratify Prince Paufs
call to tho throne or give the guaran-
tees the Government demands. II liz
ccntended that he would prefer to put
the Venizelos Government In an embar-
RAISING position and foster internecfns
discord in Greece in the hope of ulu-
r.ately being called upon as its savior.
Such an attitude on the part of the
former monarch. II Is said by officials
here, might be fatal to the dynasty, for
under a regency 1t might be found that
republic. which is not favored because
the methods of its operation are I'M
familiar TO the people, would be quite
satisfactory.

ATHENS. Oct. 2s.-The point now up
permost in the minds of the Greek Cabi-
net Ministers in connection with the ac-
Constantine's attitude. and it seems ex-
tremely probable that no reply will be
forthcoming from the ex-King before
the elections take place In Greece. If.
as anticipated. Premier Venizelos OBJ
tains majority. Constantine may either
nave to conform to the conditions for
Prince PauPs advent to the throne or
the Glucksburg dynasty will end in
Greece. 1t admittedly is impossible at
the present time TO foretell what will
happen in the latter eventuality.
