At the recent immigration convention
at Hot Springs, N. C., Cardinal Gibbons
said:

Democratic party, a policy with which the
party is as thoroughly identified as with
any other of the grand principles which
have given it life and victory after twenty-
five years of obloquy and contempt.
If these attacks have brought division
who must be blamed? Certainly not the
faithful, who stand where they have al
ways stood on this question. Though in a
vast majority, they have never forced this
issue upon the few, who, in control of
powerful newspapers in the chief
centres of population and wealthi
have carried on an unceasing propagand-
ism of a distinctively Republican doctrine
while professing to be exponents of Demo
cratic thought and sentiment. The ma
jority wanted no division. They recog
nized the fact that here at the South white
men have before them a pressing question,
even more important than the tariff or the
internal revenue, and for that
were unwilling tj mark
plainly the lines of party fealty.
They have thought it of most importance
that white men should move all together,
without regard to minor differences, and it
is not from them the sigh is so often heard
for the good time coming when the white
vote will he divided between the parties.
Thcte sighs come from those who feel
themselves restrained of their liberty in
side the Democratic fold.
The Chronicle condemns the action of
the. forty or fifty counties which
have endorsed the President’s tariff
policy (wiiich is the traditional Demo
cratic policy) as tending to create a divis.
ion, but we have failed ?••; see in that
paper any hard words for those two conn
ties which demand the repeal of the
whisky tax. Which arc factional—the
two or the forty? We may do the
Chronicle injustice, but we cannot help
thinking that if five-sixths of the
counties had demanded the repeal of the
internal revenue laws and the relegation
of the tariff to the care of its
"friends," its editor would have
found no time amid his rejoicings to de
plore the Democratic “division.”

being polled on the greatest question of
tho day. It cannot be permitted that at
St. Lotus the greatest State in the
South shall sit silent, because she
dare not express an opinion. She has an
opinion, and she will preserve the “pres
tige” for which the Chronicle fears by the
vigoroas and unmistakable manner in
which she is now speaking it. She could
hope to save little if her county and State
conventions ended in a cowardly shuffle.
The same number of the Chronicle con
tains the proceedings of the Rich
mond county convention. Resolutions
endorsing President Cleveland and his
adminbtraiiqji were introduced by the ed
itor of the Chronicle, Mr. Walsh, to which
an amendment was offered by Mr. King,
endorsing the policy as well os the admin-
itration of the President. Subsequently
this amendment was withdrawn—Mr.
King remarking, “If the resolutions are to
be accepted as a complete and thorough
endorsement of President Cleveland’s ad-
ministration—his administration of course
including his policy on pnblic matters—
I will withdraw my amendment and inter
pose no further objection." Mr. King’s
remarks were applauded. Mr. Walsh
would not permit himself to be. understood
as approving the President’s tariff policy,
and after an explanation by him the reso
lutions were unanimously adopted. The
convention then recommended Mr. Walsh
for re-election as. the Georgia member of
the national executive committee and ui
delegate from the State at large.
The Telegraph has nothing but the
highest respect for Mr. Walsh, lie, is sn
This has been done bv men and newspa
pers calling themselves Democrats and
professing the utmost loyalty to the party.
Indeed, they have professed more than
loyalty—they have set themselves up as
expounders of the parly’s policy and tru
ditfons—;as being themselves its leaders.
And how have they performed their
self-imposed duties? On the great ques
tion of the day, on which the record of the
party is clearer than on any other, the
question of tarifl taxation, they
have endeavored to falsify history
and mislead tho people. They have
tried to persuade the people that it is
Democratic doctrine that taxation may
be a blessing to those upon whom its bur
den rests—that the many may become
rich by paying their earnings to the few.
This is not the doctrine of the party which
has always endeavored to limit the inter
ference of the general government with
the affairs of the privato citizen to the nar-
rqjjrest possible range, and which lias taught
that the best government is the least gov
ernment which will insure respect for law
and private rights,
The universal feeling in the South that
the first political necessity is the mainten
ance of white supremacy has given wide
latitude to the men who were misrepre
senting Demoeraticsentiment. It embold
ened them to speak of nine-tenths of the
party os factionists-arrogating to them
selves all of Democratic truth and loyalty
In the face of a solid negro vote the party
was afraid of the tiny faction which dis
turbed its counsels, and in the absence of a
great occasion was willing that it should
strut and brag. But the occasion came at
last. The President of the United States
and the head of the Democratic party sent
a message to Congress dealing with
a great national exigency. That mes-
says was in exact acord with the tradi
tional policy of his party and witli the
platform upon which he was elected. It
was a bold and manly message, and it in
stantly changed the attitude of the parties.
Before that time, on the question of the
tariff, the Democratic party had been on

it be wise to fill the State's only place
upon the national cofhmittce with

compromise is possible or desirable, the

are not its own.
right to attack at its convenience tho pol
icy upon which lie goes before- the people.
It proposes to do this from the Democratic
ranks. How is this possible? If the .State
convention next week and the St. Louis
convention agree in declaring as Demo
cratic doctrine the policy set forth at
length in the last annual message, the
Constitution cannot, “within the Demo
cratic ranks,” attack the Presidents tarifl
policy. Any sncli course would be falal
to party discipline, and is of course simply
impossible. To be a Democrat one must
accept the authoritative declarations of
the party, whether the matter be one of
policy or principle.
The platform of the Constitution is then
briefly this: “For the moment we will snp.
port Mr. Cleveland, but we wish it tlis-
tihctly understood that his tarifl policy in
volves at least probable defeat and also
ruin to the South, and we will, out of onr
great foresight, soon attack and of course
kick over the Democratic platform which
we hope to see adopted for the campaign.”

It was as plain in December as now,
that Cleveland was the only possible can
didate, and that his message was the plat
form. It was the duly of Southern fac-
tionists, who had so much to say about the
supreme importance to the South of Dcm-
ociatic success, to take their places in the
ranks in preparation for the struggle
upon which it depended. But they did
not do it. They have since skulked about
in the rear, and on all possible occasions
have given aid and comfort to the enemy,
In Georgia, however, there is a change
for the better. The chief
organ of the factionists, which
six months ago was so confident of its
omnipotence in State politics that it dared
put a Democratic Senator on notion that
be should not be rh-elected, has abandoned
its obstruction and sullenly moved t'o its
duty. It confesses that its ideas arc not
the ideas of the Democrats of Georgia, bnt
it will lend its-aid to the party because
the party represents white man’s govern
ment.
It is atnatter upon which the people
may he sincerely congratulated that har
mony, in whatever manner brought about,
has been attained. Now let us march
straight forward.
A curious thing happened at di-V,vlliTT
last Wednesday. The horses were on the
track for the race for the West Side stakes.
Proctor Knott, a two-year-old son of Luke
(Blackburn, was brought out. The odds
were eight to one against him. He was
very restive and finally leaping into the
air he threw his jockey and came down
a-straddlc of the fence. There he hung
for several miuutcs, balanced on tho rail.
His owner walked out on the track and
said: “Gentlemen, I wish you would help
me get that horse down. I have entered
him for tills race and he has got- to ran it.”
