The n. Y. World is emphatic in Its
remand that the Democratic party
must maintain intact its organization,
yet that the Liberal Republicans and
Farmers Oranges are its natural A.
lies. ,.......
The TACT is that while the leaders are
for the most part the natural allies Of
the Democrats, IL is far from true that
very many Of the Liberals whose faith
In Horace Greeley, Of years standing,
led then, to sustain hin, for, President,
srs the natural allies of Democracy.
There is not a particle OF reason Ior any
sane uau to SO think, aud the Demo.
cratic party viii, lind put their error 10
due time. We know that there are
nsnv Liberals who cannot be induced
to go into the old Democratic party.
The determination Of that party to re.
main intsct TO await such time IS it
hopes in vaiu to scr, viz: when the
Liberals and misg uidsd Grsngers shall
with Democracg As IN appendsge,
overthrow the Republican party 80 as
to place Democracy in power, ia plain
a. the noon day sun of = clear day.
This is not what many Liberals desire.
Many not only do not simply desire it,
but they utterly abAor such resultant
they never cen be cajoled into such q
scheme. Again, neither can the farm
or Changers be hoodwinked by the
iiattery Of the old Democratic leaders
into eIevating that party into power.
Patting the Grangers upon the back,
they say 20 on yon may rest assured
Democracy will stand to your backs
| aud support you. Give our old enc
| my, the Republican party, sound
thrashing; we viii help you. Should
you succeed, the old Democracy, co.
existent with the union, will come in
! at the death other old enemy. intact
in organization, and gather in the ches'
| nuts you shall pull from the fire for it.
OF course this latter remark is not her.
aided to the world now, but it 10 al
evident as anything can be. from the
discrimination to hold firm hand upon
the organization Of the party, and the
slogan often repeated, "Democrats
must come to the front"
