a few hundreds in q vote OF elgnty
thousand, deiicately intinafes, Ike a
bashful spinster, that she would be very
happy to be won, but she needs a iittie
more wooing. New York, Pennsylva-
MIA and California have assumed coy
and interesting attitude, feigning re
luctance only that,he value and pleasure
Of their predetermined surrender may be
fairly appreciated. Every drama Is IN
complete without some bearded and
ruthless villain, who isaiways upon the
point of running away with the lovely
creature to whom the immense estate
Of the distant uncle is about TO fall. In
our national drama this WILLIAM is the
Democratic party. Its mission is not to
conduct the government. 1t has no
more of the qualities or capacities re-
quircd for such ali undertaking than 1t
has of the piety necessary for the evan
gelization of the heather. Its entire
functions are performed when it has
succeeded III making politics interest
ing to the Republican party. Where
stands it to-day after all its recent
rejoicings? The Republican party
controls both houses of Congress, viii in
few days We trust, resume its proper
control of the Presidency and all the
departments of the Executive branch of
the government,l and controls absolute
~ the Governor. Legislature, and State
officers of nineteen of the twenty-seven
States which are now represented in
Congress. They have the Governor
and Senate in New York, both houses
of the Legislature in Connecticut, and
the Governor only in New Jersey and
Ohio. The Democrats have both the
/ Governor and Legislature only in
California, Maryland, Delaware and
! Kentucky. or the Southern States
which are about to resume their places
| in the Union, tie Republican party has
triumphantly carried North Carolina,
the evidences are overwhelming that
upon the glorious basis of impartial
suffrage, and equal and exact justice to
all men, the Republican party will be
sustained by the votes of the people of
Alabama, Florida and Mississippi.
Virginia and Texas are perhaps
doubtful. The only Southern States of
which the Democratic party feel sure
are Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware
Virginia and Texas. Some fragment OF
strength in the Democratic party is
necessary to the maintenance OF
discipline, good order and unity in the
Republican ranks. We ardently desire
that such stimulants may be admins
tered to the Democratic party that it may
boldly stand up once in four years fol
the next quarter Of century, and not
take to the ropes" or throw up the
sponge, until it has SO far participated
in fight as to get a knock down. Ii
there are any annihilationists in the
Republican ranks, we are not of the
class. Long live the Democratic party,
say we, for as long as that party lives
Republcanism will rule the country
We feel great equanimity, therefore,
over the slight ma jorities upon which
the Democratic party has solaced and
encouraged itself after some of the re.
cen, elections.
I'VE would not live always we ask
not to stay" where there il no political
! party over the way willing to take the
losing side of great public questions, Oh
TO content itself with friendly criticisms
while allowing the Republicans to ear
~ all their principles and hold all tho
| offices. Chicago Tribune.
