THE CAUSE OF DEMOCPACY.

THE CAUSE OF DEMOCRACY.
Ever since the commencement Of the
western elections, the British whrs have
done little else than bfig. The moment
the returns began to come in from the west
they raised remenduous shout, and have
kept up their noisy vocileratons almost to
the present time. But where are thev o.
So far, just as they were in 1896, when
they were able TO give Harrison but 73
votes, and were routed. They have carri.

tles. Their maiorites are larger now
But look at Illinois, where The Democrats
have gained more than all lIiS federal paIn
in Kentucky and Indiana put together
Look at Missouri too, where the Democrat
&c gaia has been immense. These are wes-
tern states, which were counted on as cer-
tain for Harrison, because he is western
man; and where it was said the enthusiasm
for Harrison was tremen luous. But the
prairies got on fire, and they were not
able with all their hard cider to put out the
flames.
They have carried Kentucky and Indl.
ana! SuYposing they had lost those States,
dose any one in his senses believe they
could have gone on with the contest another
step! No: such an event would have been
an absolute annihilation of them. Well
then, thus far, they hold their o,Un, and if
they go through the contest, at the same
time, they will give their candidate 70 votes
nearly one half enough to elect him. But
supposing they add to the number the
States of Connecticut, Rhode Island and
Louisana,l7 votes. In exchange for those

and in all probability lie will also receive

TO be beaten in New Y ork as they are in
New Hampshire. Mr. Van Buren, will
get every vote he had in 1886, with the ex-
ception of Rhode Island and Connecticut,
and his whole vote will not fall short OF 250
and will probably exceed 260. Although
the British whIgs,by buslrng and Dragging,
may keep show Of fight, and even make
the contest a warm one, they can never
make ii close one-for the elections when
they take place, will vindicate the intelli.
