These results, obtained at the ballot boxes through
out the whole Union, for series of years, present
a state OF facts that lead the mind to various con-
cusons During the Presidency of General jack
son, there was uniformity in the election results,
always in favor OF the democratic party, that at
curious and significant. During his eight
years, parties were engaged in a constant conflict
principally about the United States Bank, and the
State currency throughout the nation. While Gen.
Jackson, and the democratic party in Congress,
opposed, tooth and nail, the United States Bank,
yet the party in the several States multiplied
the State banks, increased the State paper currency,
and created very large amount of the present
State debts
The democratic party, in the years that elapsed
from 1880 to 1886 presented the curious position of
opposing one paper system created by Congress, and
the creation and initiation of another paper system
equally as bad, and leading TO as disastrous
results as we now presented TO the world IN the
spectacle of reputation In 1886, Mr.. Van Buren,
AID the democratic party obtained, usual, ma
orlty of the popular vote, but in 1897 when the vast
and complicated paper bubble, produced by the de-
mocratic party itself, together with the aid of the
wings in certain degree, began TO explode, then
commenced the great and remarkable changes in
the political action of the people, which are in
the singular fluctuations hat took place for period
of five years from 1887 up 1872 During these last
five years, the wings have obtained large popular
maJorues three years out of five. In the two years
when the democrats obtained the majorities, it is
very evident that the results were produced by
large masses OF the people (mostly whigs) staying
away from the ballot boxes In the recent election,
which has been overwhelming In favor of the
democrats, the aggregate popular majority is only
small, compared with the majorties of the wings in
previous years.
Now the questions arising these facts, are
what are the conclusions they must lead the mind
to- in regard to right Interpretation of popular OPT
Mon public measures and men
The first conclusion that we come to- is the posi-
tive fact, perfectly demonstrated by the elections for
series of years. that large majority Of the people
Of THIS country OF that party that may be called
'chig-that large portion OF this wing party are
decidedly opposed TO paper the United States
bank, AID state stock system-that they indicate
their hostility TO such measures, not by voting with
the democrats, but by staying away altogether from
the pols-ha there is large majority of the aggre-
gate number Of the people, composed of the demo
Gratis and a portion of the wings, opposed to the
paper money system, issue of state stocks, and that
scheme of finance in all its features-that the wings
as party, led on by proper men, and so managed
as TO bring out all their strength, have large ma
iorty in the nation, and can elect the next Presi-
dent, if a suitable person is preseuted--that the
probability is, however, that the divisions, folly,
aud violence Of the wings among each ot.er, will
give the next Presidency TO the democrats-and
mat the various ciques into which the two parties
are divided, may create great deal of confusion
as to candidates and measures, and thus leave
door open to the abolihonists to decide the next
Presidency
We believe all these conclusions are fully made
outby the results OF the eeco MS for series of wears
II indicates most accurately that the policy of the
General and State Governmens-the several polit;.
cal partes-the various leaders and aspirants-are
all in safe of great confusion change conflict and
transition. One thing is certain, if all the wings
unite, in harmony and ORDER throughout the conn.
try thev can obtain the Presidency and the Govern.
ment in 1911, but with such violent newspaper or
gans as the Courier and Enquirer" and the "Ame-
ucan," OF New York-and their echoes in Baltl-
more, Boston, Louisville and elsewhere-with such
yloentleaders as Bolts, Mangum, Stanley and the
associates in Congress- we do not believe they eve
can produce harmony enough again TO bring ou
the wing vote, or obtain majority at the ballot box
In such case the chances in favor of a resto-
ration of the democratic dynasty, with its common
sense instincts, but its corrupt and deceptive lea
ders.
