TIE WIG PARTY.

''Thc Wing leaders are Of course ready 10
90 into any speculation which shall revive The
fortunes Of that dissolved party. They have
been looking with strained eyes in the direction

some sign Of division, some chance of rupture.

The Wing party are not ready to 60
INTO any arrangement TO revive Its for
tunes. The Wing party is content to
move along III The even tenor of its way,
taking its share Of triumphs with CRATE
tul spirit and bearing misfortune with
patience. If, from the divisions of the
Divisions Of the Democracy, from the
disgust arising from the pickering, the
scramble for spoIs, the selfish and fac
tiou5 contentious Of the leaders Of Loco
| iocoism, good men shall retire from the
ranks OF Democracy and desire to enlist
with the " Wigs, they Will be cordially
received. Nor will they be over-strict-
y cross-pNamIned as TO their past lives
or present objects. That they have left
the sell-styled Democracy will be re-
garded as prtmn ,jncie evidence of re-
form, and credit will be given them as
for permanent conversion.
But there never was a greater mistake
in the world than to suppose that the
Wing party is dissolved Defeated it
has been. Its trophies have been snatch
ed from It's grasp, but there is a recu-
perative energy about it that negates the
idea OF its dissolution. When the time
for action shall come the Wing party
will be in the field strong and vigorous
as IN the fines of old. Let any ma II
/ look around him, and ask what " hig
has deserted his colors and gone over to
the enemy What one has deserted
his standard and taken service with his
former foes ! The answer will be, hot
one. Every man who voted The Wing
ticket five years ago will vote 1t again.
Every man vino stood in the Wing ranks
five years ago stands there stlIl. The
Wing party has lis foil share of the Ne W
voters that come upon the stage since
the election Of 1913, and it will be
found in the fall election that the " hig
party will be strong enough to carry the
State.
1t needs no straining Of eyes to dis
cover "signs of division, some chance
OF ruptule' in the Democratic party.
They are near at hand, pal pahle to the
sight. he that runs may read them.
Take our city of Albany, and what eX-
lists here is but the type Of wha. exists
throug hout the State. he Atlas and
the Argus, the leading organs Of the
Democracy, stand with their hands on
each others Threats, struggling in the
death-grapple. No structures are too
stringent, no epilbets too severe to be
applied to each other. The contest ia
one OF life and death, which admits of
no compromise: which will suffer no
reconciliation; nor do these presses lack
supporters. Each have their par>izans,
each.repreSents host of about an equal
lty OF numbers, all embittered by hate.
and cherShIng toward each other un-
mitagated aud itrrconcilau,e opposition.
" hat is true in this CITY is true in every
city and town in the state. 1t is true
also IN the Union. TWO leading organs
One certainly OF established and pow
eriul lntluence-haye been denounced
by the organ Of Administration and
| drummcd ont Of the Democratic ranks
at the tune of the ''rougue's march" 1t
/ is folly for the Atlas to scott at the weak
ness Of the National Democrats in this
State. " hen the contest shall come, a
wotnl Disappointment will be visited on
the radicals, the Free>oilers, if they lay
this tlatterlng JUNCTION TO their souls.
If, therefore, there is any consolation to
! the " higs in the contemplation "of di-
vision and the chance otrupture' among
the Democracy, they are abundantly
conso!ed. The evidence of division are
open and palp0bIe, and the ''chance OF
rupture" has ripen~d into certainty.
We are among those who look tor a
triumph at he fall elections. We re-
gard such triumph as a moral certainty,
a fixed fact, and we call upon the Wings
every where to be ready for victory.
