| THE POLITICAL FUTURE.
I Speculation upon the causes which have re
suited ia the utter collapse OF the most fraudu
| lent political coalition OF the age is now need
less. The fact, in all it's overwhelming signif
cance, is now before the country, and can NJ
longer be subject OF dispute. Ii is the fac
| and its consequences which the country nor ha
| to consider.
| :, And the first thing which is likely to strik
| the public mind in contemplating this fact i
that the complete aunihilation Of the Greele,
BUSINESS is the complete annihilatlon Of tht
and the only respectable, element in that coali
| ton. In voluntarily accepting false position
that party staked it's existence, not upon ths
vitality Of an underlying principle, but upon ont
fragile and treacherous hope-success. Like
desperate gamblers, the s'party leaders" eough
false card, and lost everything For the party
organization in which they have acted the parl
Of Generals, the game is over. No future effort
Of theirs can resurrect the dead body. No battle
cry it is possible for them to utter can restore
lost faith to the conscionces Of deceived De-.
mocracy, led by false generalship into the most
awful political Waterloo in history. Should they
cry: "To your tents, 0, lsrae1!'' the response
will come back to them: Israel is here; but
where, gentlemen, are lsraet's tents? You conn-
6elled US to abandon them, and led us to this
slaughter. Shall Israel put trust in false guides
Ile cry would avail nothing but new disaster ;
for, though portion OF the democratic lsrael
might give ear to 1t, much larger portion than
that which refused to follow false guides upon
the wretched expedition Of 1873 would stand
nloof. The Democratic party organization Of
the past is dead It is beyond the hope OF resur-
rechon. Nothing that it's organic functionarles
can 40 Wln ever bs!ng II nacK 70 NE ana Sleor
again: Its elements only exist, dlslntegrated
and dispersed.
The next tact which the public Will recognize
iB, that the utter annihilation Of the Democratic
party has left nothing IN its place no organized
successor to Denocratlc principles and pur-
poses. For the imperfect o,Conor organization
can at best be regarded only as the protest Of
fraud Of Baltimore. As protest. it has served
the purpose Of its promoters 80 party organ
1zatlon, or nucleus Tor one, 1t has, for Reasons
wholly apart from its excellent platform Of
principles, failed to develop any vitality In the
utter collapse Of the corrupt enterprise against
which it protested. it disappears, and nothing
but an attempt by the leaders in that corrupt
enterprise to maintain dead and rotten organi-
cation is likely to bring it to the surface again.
As for the little eide-show organization OF Re-
publican ofhce-seekers, who falsely style them
selves :. Liberals" it is thing too utterly con-
temptible, in the character Of its leaders, we'll
as in the number Of it's followers, to be worthy
Of moments confederation. Moreover, it ex-
pressed no living idea it has left behind it no
thought worth remembering. Even as an or
ganlxed protest against the corruption and
othclal Halyersatlon OF the Washington Admin
istration, it has proven an utter and contempt
