IN. z. Sun InterviewI
Rsporter-You have been nissspre.
scntsd, and think misunderstood. You
are believed in some quarters to be resk-
less and out Of patients With everything
but the old Democracy. Even for that
you are supposed to have NO wish, e.
cept that il may become . martyr 10 it,
principles by letting its worst eRemiss
beat it forever.
Judge Black-If the Democratic party
can save its principles BY giving up oil
chance ofpower and place for its men, it
ought to accept the sacrifice joyfully;
but practically that 10 nonsense. A po.
litlcal truth triumphs only in the victory
Of its friends. The salvation Of the
country is bound up in our success. and
We ought to succeed II we can. We owe
1t alike to the memory OF our 1athsrs and
to the interests Of our children. Even
partial success is better than clean de-
feat, for anything which rcbukss the cor
ruption Of the factiont now in power will
arrest the downward plunge Of our a.
fairs. Our descent, il not soon stopped,
will bring u TO the last stags Of political
degradation.
Reportsr-Tou mean despotism7
Judge Black-No; msan something
mucn worse than any dcspotism can ever
be in . civilized country-a Republic
thoroughly rotten.
Reporter-You think, then, that tho
election of.ths Cincinnati ticket might d
least break the fall Of the country, spd
give the Democracy . future chance Of
redssming 1t sltogsthsrs
GENUINE DsxecRAcY.
Judge Black--It might Of itself work
out perfect and immediate redemption,

After grasping awhile and rolling oul

suddenly flashed upon us that this was
the lady who loved, honored and diso

Then we lowered to the height OF oul

she received her decree Of
