REALIZING THE SITUATION.

REALIZING THE SITUATION.
The Sacramento Record. the most Radical
of the Republican papers published in Cali
fornia, is beginning to realize the fallacy Of the
oft-repeated assertion that the Democratic
party is dead. In the issue Of that paper Of
October 10th, in an article On the Eastern
elections, we 6nd the following very sensible
language:
"The vote in Ohio demonstrates the falsity Of the
recent frequent assertions that the party
is dead. The advances made by this organization In
State which has been steadily Republican for many
years shows that tits still formidable enough to make
shape Of Republican ruptures, and those who count
upon its impotence In politics are % certain to be de-
celved as ever"
If the Democratic party has ever been de-
funct. the day of resurrection has evidently
arrived, for more Democratic than Republican
corpses appear to have heard the trumpet of
Gabriel. The Republican party has seen it's
best days and is certainly on the decline, The
leading men Of that corrupt political party ad-
init that it has outlived its usefulness, and have
reluctantly severed their connection with it.
All the new organizations, whether known as
Independents, Peoples party. Farmers Gran

who can no longer indorse or uphold the vii
famous schemes or plans Of public plumber, in
the interests and for the furtherance of which
the Republican party is being controlled and
run by the thieves and scoundrcls who have
obtained control Of that political organization.

of public punderers. and their natural Judgment
