ADefanct Politician.

Stephen j. Douglass ambition like that OF
M'Bcth, has oe'sleap. itself He once COM
napd5d in q remarkable degree, the conf
ience of the Democratic party. Bat by his
course be has forfeited it aud caE never re-
gain it. His course since the fail OF 1891,
received the first rebuke at Charleston; There
every Democratic State, with two exceptions,
refused to vote for him. and zealously opposed
his noinin alton The vote on the FIRST ballot
at Charleston rung his political death knell.
Nearly all the Abolition and Black Republi-
can States were in bis favor and insisted on
forcing him on the Democratic States. They
said in effect, Gentlemen of the Democratic
States, we of the Abolition States, are deter
mined to nominate Mr.. Douglas, and you
must elect him. We care nothing about your
protests against the act" But even by their
bullying and the ousting of legally elected
delegates at Baltimore, they did not succeed
in nominating him according to the establish
ed rules and usages of the party. If after
this he bad quietly retired to his home, be
might have regainsd in some degree the con-
fdence Of the party. But Instead of doing
this. he immediately started on an electioDeer-
ing toar, devoting his tune to making stump
speeches, begging votes, and misrepresenting
the views Of Mr. Breckenridge aud his friends.
This tour has injured him iu the estimation
of thinking men of all parties. 1t shows him
to be cold hearted and selfish politician,
who is determined if possible to crush every
! object, even though it should be the Demo
cratic party, which may stand in the way of his
personal aggrandizement. His visit to Maine
vas followed by disastrous defeat Of the
Democracy at the State election, and every
where his presence seemed to weaken instead
of Strengthening the Democratic party. 1t is
fact worth noticing, that scarcely one of the

been regarded as the Representative men o
the party, support him in the present contest
