NINE out Of the ten men who have eyes
in the front Of the head are Republicans,
while the men who can never see an event
until it has passed, the men who cling to
yesterday, and wrangle over dead issues
until the new ones are also dead, are
mostly with the Democracy. New party
schemes, changes Of name or form, will
not alter this essential difference In the
component element Of parties. ANY par.
ty you please, built out oi the material
now called Democratic, with what name
or platform or candidate you will, must
still be controlled by It's msjority-a mass
Of men who can only see behind them.
But the party composed chiefly Of Re-
publicans must, In the nature Of things,
be the party Of progress, Of true reform, Of
new Ideas, swift TO Spprehend new needs,
and adopt new methods.-&. Louis GIObe.
