Demo"late Olney crat of Ids type make no vote for the puny. Lest night, ia big gpeecb at Cooper I'nioii. Hi former Attornry-Gen-era- ! and later Secretary of State under President Cleveland offered characteristic keynote. In his argument against imperialism he spoke of 'our neediest Mcrimmage with Spain over Cuba.' aud sulisequently referred to tint development of jiugoiata and iiiil.tnrinu which brought ou the scrap with Spain.' 1 bat is a keynote to which tbe country will not respond in the way expected by Mr. Oincv. It i not Auiericuiiaia aud certainly it ia not democracy. "Ili war for the liberation of Cubs had the heart of the people behind it It was chivalric, unselfish and glorious. Lmitod and careful gentlemen of tha Olney type found themaelves iucapabl of rising to the height of the popular enthusiasm, hut, whether in or out of office, they were ewrpt along with the tide of nohle sympathy for nil oppressed people. History will record that th Unit is! Slate iu expelling Smin from the New World reached a moral eminence quite unparalleled in the action of nations. y We owed nothing to Spain; her of Cuba lud beau a continuous crime, as wu her whole career iu thla We h id beau patient too hemisphere. lung. The Virginia infamy should have been the signal for her eviction from this side of the globe. The culmination of her atrocities was the blowing up of the Maine, riding nt anchor in what was supposed to he a friendly port. And after that unexampled outrage Olney speaks of our needless war with Spain. No American who is as broad as hie country can look back upon the Spanish war without a thrill of pride. Mr. Olney speaks for a kind of Democrats who are infinitely hurtful to th Democratic party. They seem to be without capacity of entering into the feelings of the people, sharing their patriotio ardors, or sympathizing with their He is au able man, aspirations. no doubt; an excellent lawyer and mean well, but lie damages Democracy and the candidacy of Judge Barker when he puts himself forward as a spokesman ac once of Little Americanism and tha party which is historically that of expansion. A great people are not to be cribbed, cabined and confined within the coldblooded and petty limitations of the Olney conception of national duty and destiny. The votes of young men of men of spirit cannot he won by sneers at one of the loftiest deeds in the nation life. Democrats, real Democrats, are not to be deprived of their share in the glory of freeing Cuba. It is to be the everlasting honor of the party that through its representatives in Congress and in the press the American foremost in the fight it forced a reluctant administration to declare the war. Had Cleveland been in the White House aud Olney in the Cabinet, we may be quite sure that the heroes of the Maine would have perished in vain and Cuba continued to be a Spauish shambles t our door. The Democracy has no quarrel with any man who took part as soldier or civilian in rescuing Cuba, and it is not to be tolerated that the party should be placed in such a position. Theodor Roosevelt, as one who took part in that brief conflict, has reason as a candidate to congratulate himself upon Mr. presence on the stump. Judge Barker and his managers ought to lose no time in revising the list of campaign speakers and eliminating from it the the Clevelands and all other discredited, plutocratic, narrow-mindeand Democrats, so called, who are responsible for the apathy among the people of which complaint is mad ai Democratic headquarters. How can the workingmen, for example, be expected to grow enthusiastic In a canvass which numbers among it conspicuous orators the Attorney-Generwho discovered the of a rull-ma- u car and a President who ordered troops into Illinois against the protest of her governor for the purpose of crushing a strike? "Olney has spoken for Parker, and it is announced that Cleveland is alto to mount the platform. If Judge Barker understands the American public as well as we think he does, he will put his foot down and avert that crowniug calamity.
