The Cause of Defeat.


The partial success which the
Democratic party has met with
in the recent elections has had
he tendency to develop a few
of the schemes which have laid
dormant since the close of the
war. The assumption OF the
Southern States debts, tho re
funding of the cotton tax, the
payment by the nation for dam.
age and destruction of private
property in the South during
the war, and an allowance Of
$500, 600, 900 for the slaves set
free, are among a few of the
schemes to bankrupt the ma
tional treasury under Demo
cratic rule. II the recent cleo
tlons showed an increase of
Democratic strength we should
feel alarmed, in view OF the
dangers ahead; but the vote Of
the party has fallen so far be
low the vote of 1872 that we
are safe in saying that Democ-
racy is no stronger than ii has
been. We lost a few States
because our friends were
asleep. The large majorlties
of last year had The usual re
suit, and as in past years, were
followed by apathy which led
to defeat, where victory ought
to have been secured. Aside
from the moral effect there is
nothing vital lost to our party
by the loss of New York, OHIO,
or Wisconsin. We need a lew

sity of activity, of thorough or.

lance. Over-confidence in our
own strength was the cause OF
our defeat. A single vote may
not be missed at the polls, but
where thousands oil voters think
that one vote will make but
little difference one way or the
other the aggregate becomes
enough to turn the scales
against the party whose friends
held a vote Of so little conse
quence in the general result.
The only way to secure success
is to labor for it-bring out ev-

year the Democrats have

publlcans. The result shows
that they are more active with.

If our view be correct, il
