It's true that in the last National
Democratic Convention Judge Davis
received the united vote of many Of
the State delegations. and We believe
some Of the votes of the delegation
from Nevada. not because he was 4
member Of the Democratic party,
hut for many reasons, which the
Democraticp party with the experience
of the campaign of 1865, and subse-
~queu,ly, can now better appreciate
than then. While Judge Davis
fidelity to Republican principles
was never questioned, his known
conservatism, his ability, and his
popularity, especially in the western
country. made him eve at that date
formidable rival 10 Judge Chase.
The Democracy have learned some
thing since that date, and 1t is time
that they learned. 1t is time they APP
~preciated the fact that to succeed
they must adapt themselves to the
aoa and adont some of the skilfull
tactics with which the Republican
party has been managed, and by
which it has managed TO retain its
supremacy, Notwithstanding that. in
fact. its measures never met with the
approval Of a majority of the people
On an actual count ithas always been
in a minority i'll the country, but it
has known how to retain its hold on
the Republic up to the present day.
But that day of prosperity is nearly
over. This time General Grant will
have to meet a very different antago-
mist from he whom he met and van
auished in 1865. Not ADLER, not
purer. no better man, no greater
statesman than Mr.. Seymour, but
one npon whom the whole country
can unite. which it could not do III
1865. with Mr.. Seymour.
We are confident that the Clncln-
natl Convention will also nominate
Davis and Parker, and equally con
tfIaut that the National Democratic
Convention will also nominate them
