On the other hand, the opposition elements OF
the country do not 20 clearly comprehend the
importance Of the spells, or they do not stand
so much in need Of the spoils as the demo
crazy; while they have much stronger belief
in the saving virtues Of political principles
and distractions Hence the difficulty Of
combining the opposition forces, North ana
South and thus we find them now
as far from any basis of common union as they
were in 1885, With these general views of the
subject we think there il still living hope for
the democracy In ls6o-Hrst, from their reunion
upon the good old party platform of the spoils

the opposition upon constitutional questions and
