And so, when the politicians at
Ba timorc shall have flung their
principles to the winds, and, with
anything to beat Grant" for their
motto, have taken refuge under
old white hat, prepara-
tions for the final obsequies Of the
Democratic party may at once be
made. 1t will die in disgace, and
will sink into dishonored grave,
with none to mourn its loss. And
in that political sleep, that shall
know no waking, will epose to-
gether the man who would betray
the Democratic party, into the
executioner for the sake of power
and place. The epitaph of Horace
may be written thus
''Herc lies the Judas Iscariot of
American politics. He bartered his
soul for pieces Of though
less successful than his prototype,
he failed to grasp the price Of his
freachery." - Norfolk Daybooh
Democrat.
