THE WING pARrY.-The Albany Knick erbocker APP
pears be disguised with the perveseness OF the wings
IN taking the wrong side Of every question that comes up
Speaking OF the pursued by the administration and
large portion of the wing papers in reference to the
troubles in Cuba, the Knckerbocker says:
"When the wings elect President, it is by the
grace of God,' for they know about discretion
than they do about the mysteries OF the apocalypse We
care not what question arises if il possible for the party
to put its foot in unpopular trap il is to do
Ii is this determination TO commit suicide the part OF
their opponents which enables the democrats 10 effect all
their victories"
Upon this the Cincinnati Enquirer remarks:
Does not that hit the wing State central committee
plumb between the eyes Look at the late circular Of
tina, committee where they have put the foot OF the whe
party into unpopular trap could well be construct
ed-as if il were their determination to make the party
commit suicide II the party in Ohio get out OF the lraI
the central committee have placed them in. II will indeed
be by the grace OF God and not by their own discretion
or power"
