naner for the presidential election, cheered
by the strongest hopes of glorious result
Nothing is wanting to insure success to the
democratic party in the coming contest, but
a united effort in the nomination Of the demo.
cratic convention at Baltimore. The federal
party have met with but disaster and de.
feat wherever the democratic party have
been united, since the eyes OF the nation were
opened by the monstrous measures urged on
by Mr. Clay as dictator in Congress, and
who is again presented to the nation as an ex-
ecutiye dictator to the country. In no State
of the Union, except Rhode Island. has fedes.
alsm achieved success stree 1910, except
where divisions in the democratic pafiySSSe-

have paralyzed its efforts, and suppresstaeifs
full suffrage at the polls. Ii is alone onour
discoutents, and divisions about favortes, that
federalism counts. Can it indulge the hope

Cyl Is the dishonest, fraudulent, and exhor-
