The letter which follows will ore-

convention held since has follow-
ed the Nebraska plstform, to wit,

ia the meaning of "initiative and

eelected for that purpoee shall
not legielale Anally aor ehall their

would teas us about as far from

cy. sa ws could wsll get. Demo-
cratic trend so far i* in that direc-
tion; republican thought snd ac-
tion ars immovably against it
which is the nearest to Jefferson
idea of political faith?
2. Again, how stand the parties
in the metier of equal and esnet
Justice to all Oen? What is
meant by this? That all men,
(citiasne) shaft stand equal before

the laws of Texee
which the democrats' contended
for a right upon the part of the
national government to go behind
state action nnd overturn elate
authority, while the republican*
held fast to the Jeffersoninn doc-
trine the! the ststee were supreme
in casting their votes for presi-
dent, nnd that the national gov-
ernment hsd no Jurisdiction in
any of ite departments to ques-
tion state action sven in that
most vital proceeding,
Bar A*'s Hoaasr.
These incident*, although most
significant in showinx the trend
of pertie*, msy be aieoarded ae
ancient history. The relative po-
sition of the parties ee to Jeffer-
son's doctrine i* demonstrated by
current events. Mr. Brynu is ths
anointed lender of the partv, and
his ukase is the law unto his par-
ti. No democrat who
marched under hie baoner in
1&96 dares question or combat any
principle declared by him m or-
thodox. Sarelv no mistake ean
be made ss to democratic trend or
poation. il we .take Mr. Btyoo's
word for it. He baa come to the
front on the trust question aad
has panned the word dowa the
lioe. His remedy is nmong other
things, to increa*e the power of
the general government over the
states in the matter of internal
trade and commerce; to give to
the general government the pow-
lh rough some bu-

a ooufes ion that Hamiltpu's j
theory of government was correct
snd Jefferson** was erroneous.^
The excuse may be that commer-
cial «-oeditione havo so changed
fiucu Jefferson's day that new
remedies "for public grievunce*
must be resorted to. Thie in-
^rblves, necessarily, the concess-
ion that Col. Hamilton was more
sagacious and farseeing states-
man than Mr. Jefferson, for this
