DEMOCRATIC EXPECTATIONS

The democratic newspapers are celebrating
some nice little schemes BY which the republi-
can party is to be blown into fragments and
the opposition to obtain the control of affairs.
If they could only persuade the republicans to
take the course marked out for them they are
sure OF success, but the difficulty is that the
republicans also have some party sagacity and
do not generally ego it blind" whatever may
be true OF some who aspire to be its leaders
The New York World tells the democrats how
they may "make something out of the negro
suffrage question, if they play the cards with
skill. 1t says that the republicans will be
obliged to attempt to make negr0 suffrage uni
versal throuhout the free states, as q necessary
step towards forcing it upou the South there
fore it is the policy of the democrats to oppose
negro sugrage, root and branch, in the hope
that negro haters now in the republican party
Will vote with the democrats on this issue to
give them success. The World further says:
"The issue is one on which the republican party
can be routed and disorganized Besides the great
advantages we have over them the merits Of the
cunstances blows across their course First and CHIEF
Of these is the position Of President johnson. We
can ngnl tne battle under his banner and put the re-
chief magistrate elected by their own votes Moth
ing could surely divide and disntegrate the party
compelled to assume in making the negro suffrage is-

ment of this sort, and facts will very soon sat
isfy the World that it has been premature in
its calculations. The republicans are not SO
