CHICAGO, Oct. 16--The most significant
item of political intelligence is the doublelead-
ed editorial in yesterdays World, telegrapheG
West 1t is headed The Youthful, Indonta-
BILE Democracy" 1t recites the late elections
when the Democracy was only beaten in three
States by few thousand votes, and says: In
quiring why, having come SO near success III
three elections, we have just missed 1t, two
reasons appear in the absence Of either OF
which, our success would have been certain.
Ii the military arm of Gen. Grant had been out
of the scale we should have succeeded; or,
that remaining, if the perversiOns OF General
Blair's position had been out of the scale, we
should have succeeded. 1t would be paying Il
poor compliment to General Grant to say his
popularity has not been worth to the Repnbli1
cans halt the meagre mojority by which they
carried PENNSYLVANIA. Put half that sinaii
majority on the other side, and the parties
would be equal II that small number of votes
il due to the popularity OF General Grant Git
would be ridiculous to suppose the contrary.
the election. had it been decided en the issues,
would have been in favor of the Democratic
party. The same remark wllapply to the
other States. On Democratic principles, pure
and simple, we should have succeeded. The
narrow escape of the Republicans is due, not
to their principles, but to the military prestige
of Grant, and the aspersiOns east on Blair In
right. and ON principle we should have sue
c,.eded and we may succeed yet. We ean re
move or neHhulise these adverse Influences,
which have really nothing to do with the qiies-
ton" The WOrid proceeds to ak, 'Can this
be done ~ and commends this question to the
attention aud most earnest reflection OF the re-.
cagnized leaders of the party. I've have still
three weeks for action. Prompt and judiclous
action NAV accomplish wonders" Ii says the
party which don't advance with the nation
and enter into the full essence of its expanding
and exuberant life, is ON the declivity which
descends to decadence and disruption. :" The
Democratic party is full of vigorous. youthful.
aspiring elements Similar elements in the
other party are yearning to join it. if we have
but the boldness to build the bridge on which
they can cross" The article is the talk in all
political circles, and is considered as advice to
