The Democratic party cannot
afford to slap in the face 100,-

difference of opinion en an out-
side issue, who never failed when
the long roll was beaten.
I have no fear that the conven-
tion will do anything so foolish.
There is too much intelligence
and fairmindedness to tolerate
such gross injustice and palpable
folly. Men have not forgotten,
the Greeley folly nor who, at the
Corsicana convention, advocated
that departure from Democratic
principles and usages nor who op-
posed it and urged the party to
stick to its time-honored princi-
ples inherited from the great
apostle, Thomas Jefferson, and
embodied in his famous inaugural
address of March 4,1801, nor have
they forgotten that that folly re-
duced the majority in this state
that year to 20,000.

The iron safe at the Central

Mr. Brumm replied by saying
that Mr. Bryce was also a liar.
At this point the two squared
themselves for a fight, Mr. Brumm
picking up a chair and Mr. Bryce

of the Congressional Record. As
Mr. Brumm was in the act of
striking, Mr. Sam Reed and Mr.
Wallen of Michigan went running
up and down the aisle, and ar-
rived at Mr. Brumm’s side in time
to knock the chair out of his
hands. At the same time Mr.
Dockery of Missouri hurried
across the Republican side and
prevented Mr. Bryce from getting
in his work with the Congression-
al Records, which he was about
to hurl at the head of his antag-
onist.

stration to go into his hip pocket

moment that Mr. Tim Campbell of

If the convention should fool-

its friends. "Artthoum health,

We had best let the old party
move as heretofore under its old
flag and well ‘known principles.
Democrats equal in intelligence,
in past record and in fealty to any
who advocate the new-fangled
doctrine, do not believe that a
man’s opinions on the question,
one way or another, have anything
to do with his Democracy. And
these men have proved their
party devotion in the darkest
hours of its history.
They are not deceived as to the
motives of this new departure,
nor do they propose to be brow
beaten or bulldozed..
Claiming the right to think and
act as they please on all outside
questions, they concede the same
right to others, and it will be
found that the great body of Dem-
ocrats, whether pro or anti, take
the same view. They do not pro-
pose to follow the blind leader-
ship of a few self-constituted
leaders, to the injury of the party
upon whose success depends the

tution.
specially concerned about them.
No one of ordinary intelligence
can fail to observe that there is a
spirit of unrest among the people,
brought about, I believe, by men
who look to their own aggrandize-
ment rather than to the good of
the country.
Nevertheless whatever may be
the cause the fact remains.
We are confronted with:
1. The National Prohibition
party, and those,who believe that
prohibition is the paramount
question, above all other consid-
erations, will go with that party.
2. The Labor party.

undisclosed purpose to meet at
Waco.
4. The Rebublican party.
In its recent state convention,
largely attended by its best ele-

claimed that, ■ whilst it does not
expect to overcome just now the
great Democratic majority, it
does believe it practicable to
capture one or " two districts in
Texas, and this; evidently, upon
what it assumes to be discontent
of the wool growing industry.
It wisely selected Dr. Oochran,
the great leader of the anti-prohi-
bitionists in,. the recent canvass,

Demagogues and the People.
The man who appeals to the
prejudices and passions of the
people and teaches them to dis-
trust and hate their government,
for the sake of office,is a monster
that no words are vile enough to
describe. But the country is
■warming with such men. They
create strife and bitterness, and
often cause good people to fear
that our land is going headlong
to ruin. But the Banner has no
such fear, because it has an abid-
ing faith in the saving .sense and
integrity of the people. The ex-
pert demagogue can deceive all
of the people some of the time
and some of the people all the
time, but he can not deceive all
of the people of the time.

There are evils to be corrected.

The Waxahachie Democrat, an
anti-prohibition paper, heartily in-
dorses the proposition of Hon. J.
N. Browning upon the propo-
sition ef prohibition, viz:
“If the Democratic party de-
sires to declare anything upon the
subject of prohibition let it be to
this extent, that the question hav-
ing been submitted to a popular
vote of the people and by thm
rejected, the party accepts the
verdict as a settlement of this
issue, ana that further agitation
of the subject is unwise and im-
politic.”
The editor of the Democrat in-
terviewed thirty-two citizens of
the city and country, twelve pro-
hibitionists and nineteen anti-pro-
hibitionists, nearly all of whom
took a prominent part in last
summer’s campaign. Of the
thirty-two he found only one man
