A Coon sUGGEsrIoN.-It Is suggested
that In order to prevent tho waste Of water
at the fountain In the west front OF the Capt.
toll, which empties itself into useless fish
pond, and thence runs into sewer aud car
ried to the river, pipes might be laid to con-
duct II to Pennsylvania avenue whore foun-
tains could be erected TO slakc the thirst OF
weary pedestrians In these dog-days. This
could be done at a trifing cost, and az
the water proceeds from pure, cool
spring, the beverage would be greatly enjoyed
and appreciated by our citizens and stran-
gers.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
A Truthful and CauStfc Article.-COn.

IFrom the Oshkosh Times Dem. } Jan. esth)

lfrom the Oshkosh Times (Dsm.) Jan. 26th)
The Democratic party is without or
ganization in Wisconsin. 1t has appar-
emily no head, and however good and
great Its purposes, it goes into political
contests without organized ability to ac-
complsh results worthy of the former ex-
allied position of the party. 1t is without
leaders or representative men, such as
the people respect. The national oroon-
azdt,on Of tie party is under the leadership
OF speCutdtor, q broker aud q stock jobber
iCto represents anything but the common
democratic interests Of The country. What
right has Belmont to speak on behalf of
the tolllng, producing masses? A money
operator and speculator in bonds can
have no sympathles In common with la
Dor, and Belmont's ability and willingness
to contribute means to accomplish politi-
results does not enIitle him to the posi-
ton, as leader, which should be occu-
pied by no one not distinguished for abili-
ty, integrity and patriotism. As with
the national, so with nearly all other or
CARNATIONS Of the party. Repeated de-
feats have weakened interest in tie party
until it has from neglect fallen into the
keeping of men, distinguished less for
their ability and iattg,1ty than for their
ambition to be the recognized head of
even a minority. There are men claim
ing to be leaders, and by the press of the
dominant party recognized. as such, who
are not 50 acknowledged by the Democ-
racy OF the State. and who would be ST.
fenced wholly, were the Democratic party
In power. These men stand out as lead

casion to present names for honorable
positions, step to the front, as represen-
tative men. They are active, shameless
presumers, and gain by their impudence,
what they seem most ambitious of, the
leadership of minority. They gather
about them willing followers, sympatizing
with their ambitions and willing to play
the lesser and meaner part they sound
the praise of these selfconstituted lead
ers, and are ready on every occasion to
spring the names of these men upon con-
ventlons, OF meetings, for representative
positions they are not entitled to occupy.
They took advantage of the minority po-
sition of the party to become candidates
for positions for which they are unfit, and
for which they would not be thought of,
IT there was possibility of their election
and they ask it as compliment, when
they know the Democratic party suffers
reproach by the association, and when
they know that the compliment is simply
IN their being held up as representative
men by the Republican press. The re-
suit of this is that defeat follows defeat,
as rapidly as one election follows another
the party growing weaker and more
dlsorganized- with each disaster; the
representative men" only gaining, and
they in the presumption and effrontery
with which they assume to be party
leaders. They lead only to defeat and
that continually. The declared purposes
of the Democratic party have been to
oppose monopolis and defeat class and
special legislation but how is it with
these representative men Of the party
