This princi ple Is adhered to only by the Demo ernts, who hnvo profited by tho greod nnd avarice of the Republican party. This government belongs to tho pco plo nnd they nre determined to con trol 1L "Coming events cast their shadowu before." Republican defeat Is apparent every where.

Tho reason Is that tin clianccH appear better for the Demo ernts this year than In n long time.

Tlio ostccmed Ardmorelte takes oe cnslon to call tho Kxpross down n peg or two for warmly espousing tho causo of democracy In Chlcknsha. Comment ing upon the nvowed willingness of tho Kxpress to tour Its wearing appar el, If necessnry, to elect the democrat' Ic ticket, our good friend, tho Ard morelte, nays: "Tho editor of tho Kxprcmi Is going to bo laughed at probably not by the Chlckashn ladles, however, because Kdltor Kvnns Is doubtless too much of a Chesterfield gentleman to tonr his 'Irousci-H' lu their presence but he will be lnughod at Just tho snmo. " Now, admittedly, tho spectacle re ferred to would bo highly amusing, to say tho loast, nnd had we anticipated being driven to such an extremity In the present campaign, we might have hesitated before making such a rnsh promise, because our wardrobe Is Ill prepared to suffer such a shock and it r..!ih result In the Kxpress being deprived of an editor, while we wore In bed, pending repairs. However, If such a cntnstropho occur, surely the Ardmorelto would not make merry nt our calamity. After Indulging In this charming bit of pleannntry, tho Ardmorolto proceeds to rend the Kxprcsn a few lessons on tho folly of tho "red-hot political pa per,' tho policy for non interference, politically, in city $mpaignB; nnd tho general weakness displayed by newspapermen who nllow thomsolves to bo used as tho tools of politicians. Now, It Is perfectly natural for a neo phyte In the party, llko tho Ardmore lte, rejoicing In tho nowly discovered that It Iras boon born In the kingdom, to assumo tho rolo of a teacher to nn nM-tlmer In tho faith and tho Kxpross Is entirely willing to listen to Its ad monitions, but wo confess, niter rend ing the ArdmoreltoV somowhnt dis cursive remarks, to n lurking suspi cion that some clarification, lubrica tion or readjustment Is urgently need ed In Its thlnkery. M us sny, hcv over, before Indulging In criticism, that wo nro lu henity sympathy with much that the Ardmorelte has to say Tho testimony of Col. IUI) Stcrrott Is accepted without question and heartl ly endorsed. Tho folly of tho paper that devotes tho major part of Its en Tglcs to boosting politicians la too apparent to require comment, nnd the inmo may bo said of tho policy of In dulging In personal nbuso In tho sup port of candidates or principles. Too many editors havo been guilty of tals lort of folly to tho detriment of their hank accounts ns well as their self re spect. , !et ns say further. Hint the doctrine nf non-partlsnnshlp In city elections h ono that has much to commend It nnd tncro Is also much to bo said ui favor of party responsibility In the management of city affaire, but tho arguments pro nnd con nro well known and requlro no repetition. However this may be, It can scarcely bo nrpiod 'hat local conditions may not exist that render tho partsan policy Justifi able. For example, In Chlckasha, whero tho polltlcnl lines havo been clearly drawn tn municipal olectlons; In In dian Territory, whero municipal elec Ions hnvo afforded tho only nvenuo for expression of tho political senti ments of tho peoplo nnd whoro city campaigns havo been fought on pollti leal lines for the real or supposed eft feet It may havo on futuro pollHcal -yindltlons In tho state; whero both parties aro seeking to perfect organ 'zatlons to tho end that their prlncl Pies wny dominate In tho futuro stato with such conditions confronting us( need It provoko uncontrollable laugh ter to sec democrats or republicans iiittlng up a strong fight for party sue "08H In city elect!ons7 And it Is per fectly fenslhlo to mako such a fight without resorting to tho reprehonslble methods condemned nllko by the Ard norelte and nil senslblo pooplo. The Ardmorelto nssures us thnt It "stands uncompromisingly for demo cratic prlnelplos," and wo nre glad to hoar tho confession, hut It won't "mix ip In municipal campaigns." From Its lefty pedestal It looks down with dla lain upon profcsiloifnl politicians, ns i should, nnd whllos away its leisure moments in tha exerclso of tho "high er functions of Its Intollect," a noblo occupation, In truth! In the meant hue, notwithstanding the grave danger of unduly exrltln-; ho rlslb lltles of our esteemed brother by wrecking cur wearing nppnrol, we shall conMnuo to advocato the elec tion of tho democratic ticket, endeav oring to do no violence to our self ro oect or to tho "hljher function of tho Intollect" Chlckasha Dally Im press. "Wo aro In hearty svmpithy with much tint tho AHniorrlte has to tny," "tho testlmmv of Cl DPI Sterrett Is aeceptoi without elilvtlfu nnd heart My Indorsed:" " the folly nf tho pipor tfcat dvoeT t'e nairr wirMon of Its ener(es to boosting polttlclnes Is too ao-nrent to rei-p're comment:" "the "-e miv b:' siltl of the paltry of In ' -'n- 'u r r on il nh'Kie:" "too m-nv editors huvj been guilty of this Bortj of folly to the detriment of their barnc accounts;,' "rcprohcnslblo mothods con. demnod nllko by tho Ardmorelto and nil sensible people;" "looks down with disdain upon professional politicians, ns It should;" nil theso quotations prove tho validity of tho Ardmcrclte's position; "nuff" said. oo Won In Contest.
