IN our Judgment, any policy
that looks to "a. .disbandment.s OF
the Democratic party will be "a Il 7
: tai. The only hope Of The. cOan
:. try is i'm the :. complete 9nd
thorough organization Of the De-
mOcracy. A panty. y.isnNmbering q
more than three millions of votes
is a mighty power, and it is not
less criminal than silly to stalk
about its disbandment. e Who
ever heard of the surrender of
an army of half "a million of
men? And yet our ,wiseraeres
chatter like idiots Of disbandfng
an army of three millions of brave,
I intelligent and patriotic voters!'
Much idle chatter and bosh has
Ikeen sindulged in in regard to a
,ssplit'' in the Radical party, but,
ESQ far as We are able to discoxier,i
the split, if. there Is any, is one Of
the smallest possible dimensions. !.
The truth is.t politicians. never
quarrel with the party to which
they belong, unless there S9 =. is
another powerful Organization in
existence to which, they can go
for protection from ,tlles fury : Of
the one whose power they Have
braved! Soldiers never desert al
large, we'll supplied army, to take
service in a small one with poor,
commissariat. Those who desire
to create a split in the Radical
party, as well as those who desire
to beat Grant ins 1872, will best'I
subserve their purposes by keepll
ing the Democratic party intact,
thoroughly organized, and on a |
sswar footing!'' With more than
three millions of thoroughly orr
ganized and we'll disciplined DEM
ocrat voters, held "well in hand,'',
and ready to be hurled upon; the
foe at q moments notice, We sba all
not only have strong assurance
of success, but we shall demon
strate to the honest RepublicansI I
who desire to defeat Grant, that
their only hope of accomplishing |,
that desirable object, is by al
frank, honest and manly. o-oper-
alton with the Democracy Small
bodies necessarily gravitate to
larger ones, and if the. Repnbli-
cans who are discontented with X
Grant, and his corrupt adminis- {
tratiOn, are made to see that by
with three millions ts
of Democrats their goallcanr be i
won, they will promptly come to Il
The rescue, of the government. "
By maintaining a acomplete and N
organization Of our O
