A Party In search OF nm Issue
| About week ago we found the Baltimore American
coming out in full cry against what II described as the
and rapacous territorial policy OF the admins
trsuon Seeing that in this course the American only
followed in the footsteps OF certain Other leading wing
journals and seeing. that The wing attack upon the
policy adopted by the President in his appointments had
been proved by the August elections TO be complete
failure inferred that the American and It's associate
journals were not striking quite random but that they
really meant what they said, and intended to make an
a.ue with the administration and the democratic party
upon its ayowsd doctrine to The territorial expansion
Of The United States In epy. undertook to say that
there was no issue upon which the administration anu
The democracy would more confidently abide the dscis
ion of the people.
Bat j, now appears tina, we greatly overestimated the
courage of our opponents The American OF yesterday
morning no sooner finds It's preferred issue confronted
by u.s. than it hauls down its flag ana sak s9us'e Out

judgment, in the wbig organ But submit, that the

may be far misled suppose that it's violent
language is used in earnest, ana really what it
says.
But the Americans next declaration is still mex
plicable. By this it appears that wings have made
issue with the President the policy pursued in his
appointments. What those wing guns not sho,ed

press and promptly rebuked by the people But we
confess that 1t is with asionisbment that we now
learn from the American that The wings were only

policy of the appointments serious issue We must cay
