HO COMPROMISE BY DBXOCttAOYi
Th appfint movement among tho
Saitorn gold bug democrats so called
to forco compromlao with tho domocratlo
a
organization by which Miey can Ret baclc
Into the party and operate In tho next
campaign upon a platform of expediency
is continuing to abtract conslderablo at-
tention becauto It Is a movement that tho
gold bug democrat organs ara persist-
ently keeping beforo tho public
Tho argument uaod Is that without New
York and Now Jersey and Maryland tho
democracy can not win that upon the
Chicago platform theso Stated can not be
carried by the democrats nod that parties
fight to win Tho Improbability of suc-
cess wfihout the aid ot nn united ICanern
democracy and tho folly of a fight or an
organization without tho hopo ot succexa
aro tho plnuslblo masons that appear and
reappear ot late In nn Infinite variety of
forms from tho llpi of the old tlrno East-
ern leaders and in tho columns of tho for
mor democratic papers In tho North The
democracy Is asked to drink aguln the
poltonoui polltkal draught of policy
nnd expediency that camo so near
destroying It until tho Chicago rbjtforni
brought It back to principle and duty Up
to 1808 Iho domocratlo pIuMorms wcro
shroud bids for office last year thu plat
form wan a democratic declaration without
regard to tho tonseouencis Up to and In
cluding tho oletrflon Vf 1852 IhtHlemoeracy
una attempting to rldo two horses one
South tho other North or to run with tho
hate nnd hold with tho hounds Then
democrats folltmcd a name and an organi-
zation i now the organization la based
onco more upon clcally defined principles
and tlioao follow It who bellovc In demo-
cratic rather thou centralized boifnty giv
ing paternnllstlt republicanism
Such a bold fearless radical transforma
tion from the tlraeBCrving domocraey of
tho years succeeding the war and up to
IStiG back Into flto old democracy of prin-
ciple that would rather bo right lliau tlect
a prcelihint was too startling for thou
uanda who had been taught thit piritis
woro organized to win simply Driven
away and Into hcntlllty for tho time being
they would now como back but with tho
bourbon charactorlitlc of having learned
nothing from cxporlcncc I hey tan not
reallzo that tho pirty has tilten a distinct
Blcp fornard that It has censed to hunt for
spoils and Is devotod to tho triumph ot
prliiflplio and that It can noicr bn se-
duced again by tho tiimmcn nnd office
seekers to pin Il futuru to wcpodleney
A few dnvs nlnce Tho J > st quoted tho
Loulsillln Dlspach to the effect Hint those
who would conw luck must com not with
aiiKWBtlona that the parly Mbonld abandon
all it fought for in 00 but roconnoct them-
selves unconditionally with tho regular
organization and wfbi tho purpose ot

of tho administration and wo ln no wife
responsible for tho success or tho mistakes
of the powers that be His sarcastic bLiIo
ment that lie finds ut the scat of govern-
ment an administration and in tho con-
dition of tho country a panic slows
that ho has been observing the drift ot
public sentiment during tho period of si
which fell him In tho last cam
lence upon
paign Ho foresees tho overthrow ot the
AlcKlnlcy administration and thus far In
advance disavows bis responsibility for the
acta of tho administration Mr ltccd tan
been through one wreck of tho republican
party lu which ho played tho purt ot a
louder It was his conduct and manage
ment In tbo Fiftyfirst congress which
passed tho McKlnloy bill and gave McKin-
ley the nomination tor president over him
at a later period
Following tho passage of tho McKlnlcy
bill by tho riflyflrst congrcaa tho rtpub
lican party waa ovprwbolmlngly beaten at

It may bo that Mr Itced speaks by the

that It h a part of tho programme at tho
