THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
BADLY DAMAGED. .
What a Leading' Democrat
Thinks of the Situation!
The special correspondent of
the able Democratic journal, the
Atlanta Conntltutton in Washing
ton notes says :
('I met Governor Camnbell.
the talented Democratic politician
of Ohio, a short while ago. He
is not at all hopeful about the
Democratic prospects in the
west, "The party is all scatter
ed." he said. "and I don't like
the outlook."
Another Democrat, equally as
prominent, who has never been
a prominent office holder, but a
hard worker, was even more in
despair than Governor Campbell.
"I don't want my name used."
hesaid, "but I tell you I have
never seen such uphill work in
my life. When I urge mv party
friends to insist on old-time
Democratic doctrine on silver
coinage, I am met by such men
as Harter and the like, who
clamor at once about flat money
and such nonsense. They open
ly proclaim they will vote with
the Republicans before they will
swallow such doctrine, and with
him he has quite a large number
?of Democratic appointees. When
I talk tariff reform, I am con
fronted with the wild theories of
Tom Johnson and Prank Hurd.
The truth is, we are nil splic up.
and there seems to be no force
trying to pull us together.
SAME THING DOWN HEHE.
"Yes, said the Southern
Democrat who heard this, "it is
the same way in the South.
Federal office holders who are
Democrats are fighting Denson
harder thim they arp fighting
Republicans in Alabama, and in
South Carolina the same clan is
more energetic against Tillman
than it has ever been againstine
~ ihe 'Republicans." " .
"All over the - South the pap.
suckers are rampant to read
every body out of the party that
favors any coining of silver, and
that don I fall down and worship
the "old man" whenever and
wherever his name is mentioned".
In the meantime, the '-old man"
is quietly enjoying himself at
Buzzard Bay, with some of the
secretaries, cutting: bait. The
only thing that seems to at all
worry the "old man" is when the
weather bureau sends a report
from Washington to look out for
bad weather. The next day the
country is notified that the presi
dent did not fish to day on ac
count of the fear of bad weather.
This seems to be of much more
importance than the condition of
the country, the low price of
cotton, the number of unemploy
ed men and the success of the
Democratic party."
These men make a heavy ar
raignment. and it is not at all
surprising that our prospects are
not the b'tst in the world, and
that we are in the condition of a
man aboiii to take a plunge in
tne dark."
Speaking of the Democratic
slump down in Georgia the
Atlanta 1,'ountitution says ;
? The result, is not obe on
which t\e Democrats can plume
themse'.ves. The populists have
made surprising gains, and there
has been a serious slump in the
Demociatic majority as compar
ed wHli that of 1892. We had
almost said that the slump was a
surpri-ing one, but no one who
has intelligently watched the
progress of the campaign in this
'>State can be surprised at the
fallirg off in the Democratic
majo.'.ty. In the very nature of
things it was inevitable; and if
the >nme sinister elements that
produced confusion in the Demo
cratic ranks in this campaign
sha'.l retain their potency until
the next one, the Democrats will!
havo grounds for congratulation
if they come out of it with any
majority at all."
Mr. George Thomas and Mrs.
Sarah Kile were united in mar
noge by Rev. I). \V. Hector at
the residence of the bride in the
West End. The groom was 70
and the bride 65. Mr. Thomas
is a resident of Taylor county.
Southern Krpolillranv
A New Orleans democratic
paper has jnst interviewed the
sugar planters of Louisiana to
ascertain how many of them
have actually gone over to the
Republican party on the tariff
issue. The result is somewhat
startling to the Democratic lead
ers of that State.
It is evident that the Demo
crats have underestimated the
strength of the recent revolt
They are forced now, however,
to admit that 54 per cent, of the
Democratic planters of Louisiana
are in favor of the new Republi
can movement. 26 per cent op
posed to it, and 20 per cent in a
dangerous condition of uncer
tainty. It is said, on good au
thority, that most of those who
are at present non committal are
at heart in sympathy with the
movement, but have not yet the
courage of their convictions.
There are, no doubt, many of
them fully convinced that their
best interests can only be con
served by casting their lot with
the Republicans. But so tenaci
ous are the prejudices and tradi
tions of Southern democracy that
it is extremely difficult to break
their party trammels and public
ly announce themselves as Re
publicans. It is significant,
however, that all of the most
prominent and influential plant
ers have taken the decisive step
and others are upon tha eve of
following their example. The
present indications point to the
election of three Republican
Congressmen from the sugar dis
tricts.
This seems to be the dawning
of a new era in the South. There
has always been a strong He
publican sentiment in that sec
tion, but the Republican vote has
been so habitually suppressed
that but little or no effort has
been made toward efficient Re
publican organization.
New York Free Traders for Wllaou.
The report that a large fund is
to be raised by the tree traders
of .this city for use in securing
the re-election of Chairman Wil
son Trbin West~Virginia is not
at all surprising. Mr. Wilson is
a free trader and a friend of free
traders. He has served them in
season and out of season and has
done more than any other man
in Congress to destroy American
industries in the interest of im
porters of foreign goods. Desert
ed factories by hundreds and
idle workmen by thousands in
every part of the country testify
to his success in paralyzing na
tive interests for the benetit of
foreign manufacturers and their
importing agents in the United
States. Wilson needs help bad
ly in his desperate tight for re
election, and every dollar given
will serve as a cheer for his
baleful and unpatriotic attacks
upon American industries in the
interest of their foreign competi
tors.? K. v. Prtw.
The following is the section of
the Democratic resolutions adopt
ed by the Harrison county Democ
racy relating to the revised Wil
son bill. It was reported by Hon.
John J. Davis :
? The acceptance of tlio 8<snate-Uor
man-Brioe sugar trust tariff bill, with
the protection therein accorded to
trusts ftud monopolies, which is but a
small percent less in all its features
than that Riven to them by the odious
McKinley bill, an d the lowering of tho
Hug of tariff reform evidenced by sucb
acceptance and the hoisting of U'U
piratical Hug of tho Senatorial conspira
tors and of the trusts and other combines
under pretense of fulfilling the pledges
made to the people, is a cowardly sur
render of tho principles of Democracy,
an almndonment of the plain declwa
tions of the Chicago platlorm and that
too at the iustinco of n trust which 111
the language of Hon. \\. L- W llson,
would reap u profit of $40,000,0011.
We advise our readers to keep
this platform and see how it coin
pares with the utterances of cer-1
tain Democratic orators who are
now engaged in praising up that
bill. If the new law is "but a
small per cent less than the Mc
Kinley bill," they ought certainly
be a ashamed to say the country
is getting prosperous.

to do. The horse resented it by

'?Voters of West Virginia,
there are just a few things which
you should not fail to remember
when you cast your ballot in No

that the Democratic party has
been working in every conceiva

with regard to the real effect of
the Wilson policy. You should
not forget that they have been
caught in more than one mean
trick to deceive voters."?Intc

Ten years ago Wm. L. Wilson
favored protection and voted to
retain the duty on coal, wool,

for him then as a protectionist

??The Democrats concede that
it will take hard work to carry
Marion county, and work of the
hardest kind to re-elect the
author of the Wilson bill in No

friendly words to the miners
hav<j been given him strength
and popularity among them, but

coal and his earnest advocacy of
this ??pop-gun" free coal billin

peculiar position. The Net cm

they didn't take a sanguine view
