Show Democratic Friends of AX fair Republican Friends Successful. Reasoning Reason-ing of Democratic Organ Fallacious. "So far as the Col logo was concerned the only elfort made at the Rcpubll-can Rcpubll-can State convention, was one to get a plank In favor of consolidation inserted in-serted in the platform; the only effort made at the Democratic State couven tlon was one to get a plank against consolidation inscitcd In the platform, Hoth attempts failed. If tho Repub-can Repub-can can find anything to their credit In that, they're welcome to it." The Journal. The republicans DO lind in the facts detailed above much that is creditable to them and more that Is discreditable to democracy. In the republican convention a determined de-termined cilort to get Into the platform plat-form a plank favorable to consolidation consolida-tion was met by a more determined eirort on the part of tho Cache republicans repub-licans and friends, with the result that the anti-effort was unsuccessful. In the light made by the friends of the college THEY WKRK SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS-FUL In the democratic convention, where "hundreds of delegates" according to The Journal, were friendly to the college, col-lege, the local democratic heavyweights heavy-weights were UNSUCCESSFUL In securing an expression filendly to the college According to the Journal there was no opposition in the democratic demo-cratic convention strong enough to urge an anti-college plank, yet tho Cache delegation and friends were not strong enough to sccuro favorablo action ac-tion on a favorable plank when It was presented. in the republican convention, friends ot the college wore strong enough to light SUCCESSFULLY against a determined de-termined effort to do the college harm while in the democratic convention friends pf the college were UNSUC CESSFUL In securing action favorable to the college. What Is there In these facts creditable credit-able to democracy? A democratic convention turned down a tesoloiitlon favorable to the college, thus showing Its UNFRIENDLINESS. A repub llcan convention turned down a resolution reso-lution unfavorable to the college thus showing its FRIENDLINESS. Is there anything In this discreditable to republicans? And then again, if republican fi lends .aro successful in their efforts and democratic friends arc unsuccessful In thclrcfforts even wheic practically all the sentiment Is reputed to be in their favor, wherein has democracy a claim on the votes of those who desire to see tho college remain where It Is? Mr. Voter, think It over. |
