The Democrats Of the country may
learn many useful lessons by observ-
ing and initiating the Republicans.
While the Democrats are resting,
the Republicans are working with un-
firing industry.
While the Democrats arc striving
to heal the wounds of the past, the Re
publicans are treasuring up wrath for
the future.
While "A Democrat is saying 1--WE
will not hereafter make any political
tests in business, religion or social
life" the Radical is casting about for
some way to make his business, his
religion and his social position con-
tribute strength TO his party
Six days in the week Republican
laymen work for their party, and on
the seventh the same kind of work is
done by many of the Republican cler-
gymen, who infest the pulpit.
Too many Democrats, out of regard
for the feelings of susceptible Repub-
lican friends, hold their peace six days
in the week, and on the seventh Dem
ocratic clergymen refuse to talk pol
itics.
Republicans support their papers
advertise in them, subscribe for them,
talk for them, canvass for them, and
if the paper have a job Office, patron
ize it literally.
Too many Democrats refuse to sup
port their papers--do not advertise
in them, nor subscribe for them, nor
talk for them, nor canvass for them
and if the paper have a job Office, do
not patronizeit' If they want blanks,
or bill-heads, or cards, they send TO
another city and obtain them from a
Republican firm. And even Democrat
ie office-holders sometimes send to
another city and patronize Republi-
can printing Offices. These Office
holders may say in apology that the
foreign Office does better and cheaper
printing, and as they are very fastid-
ious men, the apology may be sufii-
cient with the Democratic party
but we assert that a Republican office
holder never permits his levc Of fine
printing and cheap prices to induce
him 10 send away from a town in
which there is Republican printing
office blank or poster to be done
by Democratic printer. IL he did,
no excuse would be sufficient 10 save
him from the wrath Of his partisans.
They would become too fastiGious to
retain him in office
In Republican cities Democrats do
not often become school directors, and
the school directors never employ Dem
ooratic teachers.
In Democratic cities the Democrats
too often permit the Republicans to
have a majority of the scho oil directors,
and these directors always employ Re
publican teachers, who are too much
prejudiced against the Democracy 10
subscribe for the Democratic paper,
although it may be the only paper pub.
lished in the city.
Before and after and during polit.
ical campaigns, the Republicans sub.
scribe literally to pay for party work.
Before and after political campaigns
a great many Democrats refuse to give
any money for party purposes, and
during a campaign il takes great
labor to induce them to pay hall as
much as they ought to pay
At present the Republicans are
working with greatindnstry to make
sure of the Presidential election next
fall. he
Atpresent the Democrats are indus.
triously doing nothing. fa.
The Republican National Executive
Committee have Just issued an address
in which they announce that money
is wanted, because this is an aauspi
cious crisis of our country" that ''not
day should be lost !" that sit (monsy)
is the pressing need Of tho hour !;
that It's can imperative duty TO con-
tribute illegal tender" to aid in this
work Of spreading "the principles
which underlie the great political or.
ganization to which We belong"
The Democratic National Committee
and the Belmont Com mittee are doing
nothing.
We refer to these facts to arouse
the party in this part of the State from
its lcthargy. We want 10 commence
the great battle Of 1865 nowl Now
is the auspicious time in which to Ia.
Dor. More converts TO Democracy
can be made now in five minutes than
can be made in six wee ks during the
"hot" canvass that will take place
next year.-Cdiro (M.) Democrat.
