j DEMOCRACY DEFEATED. %
1 The election is over, and Judge
I J. B. Gaston, -republican, has de
feated Colonel H. H. Dean, derrio-
crat, for Mayor of the city of
Gainesville. A majority of voters
have said that they prefer a re
publican to a democrat to be their
chief executive. We accept , the
result, and trust that Judge Gas
ton’s administration will be emi
nently successful, and that the
city will grow and prosper.
We opposed Judge Gaston, and
we are proud of it. It is our na
ture to fight Republicanism and
to uphold Democracy. It is a
principle that cannot be compro
mised—-it is everlasting, and as
long as we are able to “move ancf
have our being” we shall continue
to strive for that which should
be near and dear to every citizen,
especially every man of the South.
It is a discredit to no man to
go down in honorable defeat. The
237 staunch Democrats who stood
up to the rock-ribbed principles
of their forefathers need no sym
pathy, but deserve the heartiest
congratulations. They fought a
good fight—they over-came many
obstacles—they showed their true
colors, and they are ready to-day
to fight harder and better than
before they went down in defeat.
They are of the stuff which is born
to fight Republicanism, and a call
from their party falls not upon
deaf .ears. That a Republican
was elected Mayor is not their
fault. It was done over their vig
orous protest.
In the recent contest party lines
were clearly drawn. A number
of the Democrats of the city who
entered into the unholy alliance
with the Republicans which re
sulted in the election of Judge
Gaston ten months ago, realized
the great mistake they had made
and endeavored to reclaim the city
from Republican control. Be it
said to the credit of Colonel Dean,
he vigorously protested against
the nomination of a

rule adopted by'the committee.
He was also one of the first to
come out boldly and endeavor to
have Democracy over-ride Repub
licanism. and place some good
Democrat in the Mayor’s office.
It was with great reluctance he
entered the race himself, however,
and only did so after he had been
petitioned by a majority of the
leading Democrats of the city. The
lateness of the hour at which he
allowed the use of his name did
not give time to overcome the
combined forces which had been
formed by his opponent, and he
was defeated. But that is neither
here nor there.
To the victors we extend greet
ings. Not because they elected a
Republican Mayor, but because
they won. All battles must be
fought, all victories must be won,
therefore the successful are en
titled to congratulations on win
ning a victory. But they must
bear the responsibility of electing
a Republican Mayor of Gainesville.
We protested against it, we will
always protest against Republi
canism, and will always fight for
Democracy. We prefer to go down
with Democracy in defeat, than,to
triumph with Republicanism.
Judge Gaston is Mayor. The

administration will be successful,
and, as stated before, that the city
will grow and prosper.
