One Of the most formidable accusations
made by the Democracy against the Re-
publican party is that it is laboring to
keep itself in power. This Is dreadful II
true How such thought must shock the
patriotic feelings of the old stagers In the
Democratic party! How unutterabiy
wicked it must appear to these virtuous
souls for the Republican party TO 30 d.
rect its course as to win the popular ap-
