Jd« hils reasons for putting his paper In
this position, Col. McClure ways:
"Today the Democratic party has not a
dingle hopeful state north of Maeon and
Dixon’s line; It has not a single hopeful
state In the West, and the Southern
eta tee are sll trembling In the throes of

the overwhelming defeat of called out
no eta team an ship In the Democratic
counsels In congress and Intensified the
maidnees of Democratic law-makers, in
stead of chastening and recalling them
to the llnej of patriotism. But for the
(heroic Integrity and patriotism of Presi
dent Cleveland the credit of the nation
would have been dishonored and business
chaos and general distrust must have pre
vailed throughout' the land.
"N*> parly thus poisoned wl£h dishones
ty In Its very vitals can survive, and If
there Is to be a Democratic party In the
future, It must be promptly organized on
the busts of honest government, honest
money, honest taxes and honest elections.
Perfidy or blundering In Kepubllcan
statesmanship will not restore the Dem
ocracy to public confidence. It may de
stroy the Hopublkcan organization, but H

In a position to command the honest men
of every political party or it must die,
and If It cannot retrieve Its
honor and Us ability to govern

of the national faith and the tranquility
of business and trade."
Tine Atlanta Cottacnation, always
largely Influenced by .-ta Imitative fac-
uJy, nukes Go). iMoGhine's declaration
of policy rbe occasion for outlining It*
own. It says:
"Adhrtrtng the candor of Ool. McClure,
we propose to he equally candid. tv®
hereby pledge the Oonatltutlon to support
no man for president In 1KI6 who 1* not
opposed to the dishonest dollar whloh, by
conataiftty appreciating In value, bas
doubled all debts and taxes and has
robbed the people of the profit* of their
labor for the sole benefit of a small class
of money sharks and gold gamblers.
Moreover, we pledge the Constitution to
support no man for president la IKS* who
I* In favor of the British gold standard,
and opposed to restoring stiver to Its con
stitutional use 1 as a standard money
motal."
In turn, the Cboattitution given lag
reasons, oral they are as Inflows:
“But Col. McClure Is a blind lsader of
the. Wind' If be does not percelto that In
th* midst of all the chaos and confusion,
th* Democratic masses of the country are
still united on and devoted to Qte princi
ples of <he Chicago platform. #
"Col. McClure la a blind leader of the
blind If ha does not psreslvs that th* re
buke administered at the poll* In UM was
a rebuke to Clevelandlsm and not a de
feat of the Democrats. He la a blind
leader o< th* blind U he doe* not per-
■ calve that the chaos and confusion which
has attracted hie attention Is such as
must Inevitably come upon an organisa
tion when Ms cRusen leader betray* and
deserts It.
“This is what happened when Mr.
Cleveland called the Democratic c ongress
In axtra a melon In U9I. and Informed the
leaders of that body that'they must Tore-
go and defeat Democratic Unsocial legis
lation and pass a measure that John
Shaman and hia Republican assistants
endeavored to get through the sonata a
few weeks before the close of President
llamaon'a trm of office. The sacrifice
that Mr. Cleveland demanded of hla party
leaders waa that they should repudiate
the pledgee they had made to the people
and set at naught the promises of the
platform. Some he bought with patron
age, and some he coaxed, but In one way
and another ha carried out hla designs,
receiving the hearty and untiring assUt-
* anoi of the Republicans Id congress and
or nil the agents of the Wad street usur
ers and foreign gold gamblers.
"The party has osea brought to Its
present stats of ohaoes and confusion by
the wracking Influence of Cleveland!em.
In order to put Itself In shape for the
next campaign It will have to begin at
once a campaign in which Democratic
principles wul be brought to the front
Ogata, and develandiem and all the lam*
that art opposed to Democratic principles
will bars to ho relegated to the rear."
