into picture of darkness and gloom,

THE Democracy, says the Gettys-
burg Star IT, .Sca'iuel are TO be pitiel
They have been seen boxing the com
pass and tacking sails every campaign
since 1893 to gain power, and with
every change Of tactics there was a
change Of creed. In 1861 they tried
the "Pcace-at-auy-pri,e" platform,
built for them at Chicago by vallan-
digham. In 1868 they substituted
Frank Blair's revolutionary pro-
gramme, asserting of the illcgalty of
the Constitutional amendment aud the
duty of the people to disregard them.
Last year in Pennsylvania, under
Brick Pomeroy's lead, they went it
strong on the hot shot " anti. niger"
line. But all failed to win. Growing
desperate under repeated disasters and
continued ostracism from Office. they
now turn their backs upon the various
platforms Of the past pitch Pomoroy

di2hom, who bids them drop the

been murdered might have killed him.
