THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SAi1sFlhD
WITH THE RESULT IN NEW HAMP-
SHIREl
The New Ysrk World, of yesterday, discussing
the result in New Hampshire, says;
The Democratic party is satisfied with this
result. II confrmes the certainty OF osans
denomination, preciudes the taking up OF any
other candidate who might reunite the hepup-
Iioan marty. and though last not least, 1t re-
moves the last yestige of danger that any por-
ton of the Democraac party will protest against
the complete abandonment OF dead issues.
The World assumes to speak for the Demo-
cratic party throughout the nation, and says
they are satisfied that they have been so de-
cisively and completely everthrown in New
Hampshire! They are Satisfied" to have lost
State, which voted with them year ago to
have lost Legislature, which year ago, they
controlled and Senator OF the United States,
which that Legislature viii electl
Such results satisfy the Democrats Of the
country.
And why
Because they confirm the certainty, Gt needed
no continuation of President Grants renomi-
nation but, more than that
Because they remove ''the late yestige Of dan
GER that any Democratic candidate for Presi-
ident will be nominated
This is the real meaning of the closing clause
in this rejoicing over New Hampshire. The
World now feels sure that the New Departure
will be taken, that Passive Policy, Of somt
sort, will be adopted, and that no straight-ou
Democrat on plain and square Democratic
platform, will be nominated. And this prospec
osatis6es the Democratic Party
Now as TO the World 1t may speak for Ne'
York and Washington wire-pullers. 1t may hay
the right to represent men, hanging on the verg
Of its party, who are now in close conference
daily, with the half dozen malcontent Republ
cans, who are ready to make any bargain b
which both these classes may gain Office. 1tha
the authority, no doubt, to state the views OF
avarm of pestilent schemers who will sell the
marty. twice over, in an hour, il they can gal
bv the transaction. TIE World dwells in ii
hearts of these people, knows their secrets, an
aympathizes with their plans. II speaks for then
when IL declares that the Democratic Party al
satisfied with their defeat in New Hampshire.
The World, too, may be right in its exultai
declaration that now the New Departure is ce
tain. No doubt it is. The purpose OF the me
who have the control Of the Democratic Par
has been long settled upon that point. The 70
issues will be /" completely abandoned, "beyor
doubt. and very probably the Democratic vote
will be asked to give their support to candida
for President, who, until now, has claimed d
name of Republican, and who deserts his part
at this juncture, merely in the hope to reap
personal advantage by the trsachery.
But how will this scheme result +? Can
bargain be made completely the delivery Of
Democratic voters who are sold How will it
in Delaware ? In Pennsylvania In Marylan
In Kentucky? Do the Democratic masses,
those States, hold themselves ready for deliv'
to Judge Davis, or Senator Trumbull, or SO
other malcontent Republican, who, since
overthrow Of their party in New Hampshire,
to be forced on them, as their candidate?
