than glorious in lis triumph, after the UMPIRE
cetented severity ofthe recent contest of par
ties. Originally established at period of the
deepest depression of the Democratic cause,
in the memorable year of 1887, this Review
has ever taken an active, and. it is believed,
| not ineffective part. in the long and keenly
contested battles Of opinion. by which the
country has been more or less deeply agtated.
Having freely shared the worst disasters, the
gloomiest depressions, may it not fairly be al

self through considerable portions Of that Pc
riod only by'large pecuniary sacrifices caused
by the delinquencles of too many of its sub
scribers-through seasons when zeal for the
| principles to which it was devoted could alone
afford a motive for its continuance at so much
Iunrequitted expenditure of both money, time
and intellectual effort. Its Publisher now
| feels fairly entitled to invoke an active and
generous friendliness of support, on the part
of its subscribers and the intelligent members
OF its party generally, for its support. Our
opponents have recently organised extensive
arrangements for the establishment of a SINH
lar work on the other side of our great divis-
ion of parties-sto counteract.' as it is said,

Review Established under imposing auspl.
ces of eminent political and literary names in
the ranks of our opponents, and doubtlers to
be sustained by the overlooking means posses
sed by that party, to sustain work OF that
character, it thus holds out the prospect OF an
honorable rivalry, which the Democratic Re-
view cheerfully accepts. but which the Dem
ocratic party must contribute to enable it to
maintain, in manner worthy of that party, and
of it's good, great and glorious principles
The way to serve it, and to aid in that pur-
pose, is, at once to remit promptly the debts
