other nand, III. is not the DeHlOcrulic
party. but the Republican, that is a cold
corpus. 1t calls editorial attention, in
its issue of the 10th, to pretention
political letter from Chicago, pointing
out that the revolt against the tariff and
the salary steal has absolutely destroyed
the Republican party in the five great
Northwestern States, and concludes Its
article as follows:
at is hopeful sign that at last this
organized abuse, which has outlived the
occasion that excused its existence and
gave it signifc ance and strength, should
fail to command the support and respect
of those who have chung to it with un-
wavering and unaccountable fidelity.
Deserted by the Western farmers, the
Republican party falls never to rise
again. The Democratic party in the
Northwest as everywhere else will of
course maintain it's organization and its
principles 1t suffices that the Oranges
uphold the same principles to insure
their common victory on the platform
of Free Trade and Farmers Rights. "a"
But while the World insists that "the
Democratic party of the Northwest, as
everywhere else will of course maintain
its name, its organization, and Its prin-
ciples," it yet holds open arms towards
what it believes considerable Liberal
organization, continuing even to foster
and pet the Allen county movement of
this State. We find still another decided
difference in the opinion as to who is
dead in the Enquirer OF this city. One
of the first and most enthusiastic in the
support of the Liberal movement of last
year, it's backsliding has been as COM
plete from the one side as that of the
Chicago Times on the other. 1t is be-
lieved with the World that the Demo-
cratic party the old Democratic party
still lives and will live, but it has moth
ing but the profoundest disgust for any
thing that savors of Liberalism. With
it, the Liberal party is the cold corpus,
and it talks sadly of "the remains" of
such Democrats as participated in the
Liberal proceedings, whether in Allen
county or elsewhere.
The Commercial, however, is the
most wholesale deadener of them all.
With it everything and everybody is
dead-dead rs julius Caesar or a door
nail. Democracy is dead, Republican,
ism is dead, and out of their decomposed
remains is to phoenix new party, of
which Halstead and Hassaurek are to be
shining lights.
The New York Post in it's issue of
the 10th, brings up the rear with still a
new position, to-wit Death to De-
mOcracy and Liberalism, and life to no.
body knows what. 1t points out that
which has terminated the dead bones of
the old Democracy-which has convert
ed the Enquirer, and treasured the
World and the Boston Posts the per-
formances of certain false Republicans
the doings of Ben Butler in Massa-
chusetts, Carpenters defense of the
salary steal and Credit Mobilier, and
Bingham's justification of his course on
the latter If, says the Post, these in
dividuals really represented the Repub-
lican party there would be valid ex-
cuse for reviving the Democratic party.
But they do not, and there is where the
mistake is made. 1t continues
4" A little determination will be good
for some of these Democratic organs
who dream of Democratic revival. Do
they believe that the people of this
country want principles rather than
names? And if yes, upon what princi-
pies do the revived Democrats propose
to go before the country? Will they
urge free trade? Ask the Maryland and
Pennsylvania Democratic newspapers
and public men. Will they urge moral
ity and honesty in the Government?
Ask the majority of Democratic Con-
gressmen who voted for and have taken
the back-pay plumber, and who were
willing to overlook the Credit Mobilier
fraud. Will they urge the old Demo-
cratic principle of opposition to the
Governments investing in internal i'm
provements ? Ask the Democrats of
Virginia and other States where canals
and railroads are demanded at the public
expense. Upon this point, also, it is
particularly interesting to quote one of
the very Democratic organs engaged in
the "revival movement A few days
ago the Cincinnati Enquirer said "Ten
millions of dollars, for instance, spent
on the James River and Kanawha canal
and the watering of the Ohio river
would give us navigable stream the
year round. That would be of more
service to the general interests of the
country than anything which could be
done on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
1t is thing, in fact, which must and
will be DONE" In short, the best Dem
ocrats are continually working at cross
purposes upon every question of public
policy, and this extract from the En-
quirer is but fair sample of the way
in which they treat their own prin-
ciples.
Summarizing: with the Chicago Times,
Democracy is dead with the World,
Republicanism is dead with the En-
quirer, Liberalism is dead with the
Post, Democracy and Liberalism are
dead and with the Commercial, every
thing is dead, save Halstead and Has
saurek. So cheerful funeral party
never before was witnessed-hideously
cheerful in view of the fact, patent to
all others, that whatever other funerals
take place, that of their political hopes,
one and all, is certain. - Cincinnati
