The Washington HpteiE9eEceT, o.
| Thursday, says: ITO set at rest al
doubt as to the current OF popular feel
| inS, We publish below q few Of the
cha ig.s from Radlcalism to Democracy
| which we CLEAN from our various eX-
! changes. These are only tithe of the
changes Of this character We have seen
announced, but they speak volumes IS
to the disgust Of the people with the
! course of the Radical Destructives, and
! their determination to hurl them from
the places of power they have deseerated
and abused. 1t will be observed that
these changes sre occurring in great
mum bers in the West, where the enthu-
siasm for Seymour and Blair is spreading
like a fire on the prairies:
THE WISCONSIN, DEMOCRATIC PREsS-A
SIGN OF THE TIMES.
It Is one of the significant facts OF the
| day that no less than nine new Dsmo-
cratic papers have been started in Wis
consin since the nomination Of Grant,
and none have been discontinued, while
| the Radicals have gained none and lost
| three-One by suspension and two by
| abandonment OF Grant and Colfsx for
Seymour and Blair. The following is o
| list Of the new Democratic papers:
Fremad (Norwegian), Milwaukee.
Argus, Rscine.
Northwestern Democrat, Black River
Falls.
Hoptown Banner, Kfbourn City.
Representative, RipOn.
Sentinel, Plymouth.
Transcript, Columbus.
Ameriks (NorwegiaB), Ls Crosse.
Stasts ZeiLuDg, Green Bay.
The RipOn Representative and Coldm-
bHs Transcript were Republican organs

sud Blair. We might add the Madison

about the time Of Grants nomination, as
q successor to the Madison Union, which
had not been published forseyersl months
before.
These new Democratic journals have
all originated in the demand Of the peo-
pie, and in no instance can their origin
be attributed to sny financial encourage
ment from the general committees Of the
Democratic organization.

date for the Presidency, they will have
none TO blame but themselves for the fu-
ture.-AilJ0aUkse N610s.
