Lamenlation and waiting are heard in our
borders; detection presents itself among the
leaders of the Clay Wings. The Tribune, OF
this morning, scoids and mourns, by turns, at
the result Of the Maryland election, so far as

not willingly rob the sagacious editor OF The
privilege which he assumes-ihat OF yelling the
real cause of detection In the ranks OF the
Clay Wings. While the "vox populi" is sound

proclaiming as the winds watt It's echoes from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, the emancipation OF
millions from the thraldom Of the few, the equal
distribution of the blessings of free Go

waves on the strongholds of Federalism. In

fortunately become obtuse TO the melody Of
Federal music; it calls for the ful6ment of the
splendid anticpatons held out by the Wing
songsters of 1910. The wild deirium created
by unfuifHed promises, sent forth by hired
Wing singers, has given place TO that calm
reflection and determination of purpose. We are
not, however, nsensible TO the fact that in our
City and Slate great struggle is at hand
that union of purpose and of principle is ne
cessary to insure success the wOuii-be leaders
must give way TO the people; the chiefs of ciques,
if such are among u.s. must sacrifice private
interests, and join in the great political regene-
ration that awaits US. The struggle in which
we are engaged is that of principle against pow
er-for the interests Of sixteen millions of peo-
pie against the moneyed aristocracy Of less than
one milon-for a sound currency in opposition
to promises TO pay in rdgs-against the unhal-
lowed encroachments of wealth on the industry,
the happiness, and the freedom Of our country
men. We again repeat that in our City and
State, union in principle and in action must be
our moito-the Huieness of jealousy must give
place to the openness and manliness of truth.
We must have confidence in each other--no
private whispers of individual detracton should
be heard in our ranks. Struggling for prnc-
pies rather than men, we should press forward
to the Convention which selects the Democratic
candidate; and, when selected, give to him our
hearty and generous support.
