l.rndern of thr Ilemucracr Ke*4 to
Mrnd Tbeir l.OKic.
Official election returns show that
tin-re were 030,000 plutocrats in Illinois
Nov. 8. All of tlioiu voted for Roose
velt. Some of tlieiu are plutocrats lie
cause they own stocks and bonds, oth
er) because they had accounts In the
savings banks and still others because
they were selling corn at 50 cents a
bushel and wheat at sl. They were
not an inconsiderate lot of men. They
did not object to conditions which
made them rich. They did not yearn
for a change. They were not ungrate
ful. They were not dull or slow of un
derstanding. With great enthusiasm
they voted to continue the national ad
ministration under which they Jiad
prospered. They did not attribute all
their blessings to the -government, but
they felt that n change of government
was a risk that need not be taken.
Mr. Bryan says the election was car
ried by the plutocrats. Either we must
hold that the 030,000 Itoosevelt voters
in Illinois were plutocrats or that tliey
were bought by men who had more
money than they had. Who was it
that had the funds to send out to pur
chase 030,000 stalwart voters of the
rrairle State? We are not exactly In
formed. It could not have been the
trusts, because they were not inter
ested In the Illinois election. It could
not have been the Republican national
committee, because It sent little or n«
money to Illinois. The Democratic
committee conceded tlie state to the
Republicans months before the election
was held. They did not send a dollar
into Illinois to stem the Republican tide,
nor did they make a pretense at keep
ing the Republicans of Illinois "busy."
The state was abandoned by common
consent to Roosevelt as not being much
better fighting ground than Pennsyl
vania. By the way, bow does it hap
pen that that state returns so large
a Republican majority? Was it also
carried by the plutocrats, or did the
overwhelming vote In Pennsylvania
represent, as In Illinois, only popular
sentiment and affection for Republican
principles and policies?
Visionaries, cranks and lunatics, mar
sh.! led by Mr. Bryan and guided by
Debs. Watson, Harrow and their like,
will have a lot of trouble In explaining
how the Republican vote piled up in
states where It was not needed nor ex
pected and where it could not have
been influenced by monetary considera
tions.
The radicals are weak, too, when
they suggest that the adoption of poli
cies or theories of government directly
antagonistic to those which triumphed
in the late election will result in Dem
ocratic success. There Is no sense in
saying that because Roosevelt was
elected as the representative of certain
principles the advocacy of principles
utterly repugnant to those which he
stood for will bring nbout Democratic
victory.
The leaders of the disheveled Democ
racy need to mend their logic as well
as their manners. How they can argue
with a show of reason that extreme
radical doctrines will win where mild
er doctrines failed no fellow at the
present writing can even attempt to
lind out.—Chicago Tribune.
NO DEMOCRATIC EDEN.
I'rayer the Only Itecnnme of Dla-
Knuted Mimiotirlana.
Residents of Dunklin and Pemiscot
counties, down in the Missouri "pock
et." are petitioning the legislature to
transfer those counties to Arkansas.
They say that since Missouri has gone
Republican they "cannot without
shame acknowledge residence therein."
The personal feelings of the petition
ers need not be discussed. But would
their desire to get into a state that
would never go Republican tie realized
by granting their request? The general
impression is that It would, but the
news from Little Rock raises harrow
ing doubts.
I.ittie Rock dispatches assert that
Arkansas did go Democratic, but they
omit to give figures. And strange sto
ries are coming from Little Rock to the
effect that the returns have been
locked and barred from sight.
Ilence an Inevitable suspicion that
even Arkansas may not be so unani
mously Democratic as supposed; hence
a distressing possibility that the Mis
sourlans, ashamed of Republican Mis
souri, might not find in Arkansas the
Democratic Eden for which their souls
yearn.
All things are possible, even that
Arkansas might some day go Repub
lican. Then tbe refugee Mlssourians
would again feel themselves strangers
upon an alien soil, giving no rest to the
soles of their Democratic feet.
The yearning of a certain kind of
Democrats for a Democratic Eden is
intelligible, but vain. There is no such
happy spot on this mutable mundane
sphere. The best its seekers can do is
fervently to pray that their mansions
In the skies may be solidly Democratic.
