Wise and conservative plans may retrieve
all our losses; but foolish and hasty and im
prudent action will surely bring defeat.
However little of truth there may be in the
idea, yet the impression is abroad in the
State that the Democratic party is above
the people, that it' is controlled by cliques
and rings, and that the railroads and other
corporations have played too important a
part in dictating the policy of the party
leaders. We do not hesitate to say that
these influences have been greatly over
rated: but the mere fact that such an im
pression exists ought to be a sufficient inti
mation to the party to place itself even
above reproach. We remember to have
seen somewhere that "the heads of parties,
like snakes, are moved by their tails. The
leaders of a party have no more authority
than is delegated 4o them by the people.
