| speaker, "what advice can l give you
NAV God have mercy upon you and
your dependent families; your and their
destitution will defy description" "What
am complaining Of is" Mr.. Cary said
only few days ago, ''that a great po-
ltical party should create such an infer
nal and damnable system Of robbery"
But all this is sheer buster and rant, de-
ceiving nobody. Is ito We confess we
are far from being SIRE that il is not at
this moment becoming very popular Two
great Western States had constructed
platforms based upon it. And now Penn
sylvania has gone the same road Is II
to be supposed that there is no popular
strength whatever behind such move
ment as this !? Mr. Hendricks, in Indiana,
could not prevent his party from heading
straight toward imitation and reputation
Mr. Thurman, in Ohio, found himself in
the same plight. Ard now Mr.. Pershing,
IN Pennsylvania. has been overwhelmed
by an onward rush Of the intlationists.
The leaders are everywhere being swept
away before the masses. New York may
stand firm, although the inflationists will
not be kept down without difficulty, even
here. But it is the West which rules the
democratic party, not New York. 1t may
rule something more than party before
all is done. We may be told that in 1868
the intationist issue was submitted to the
people, and decided. So it was, partially
but great many things have happened
since then. We have had two great pan.
les. throwing large numbers of men out OF
employment. There is more distress
abroad now than then; the pinclrof want
is felt in many more households. Every
day the work of good government is beset
with increasing difficulties, and the
troubles of other countries are repeating
themselves here. Whether the people
wish to keep check upon the issue of pa
per money, and to pay the national credi-
tor what belongs to him, are questions
which must be submitted to another vote
before we can pronounce them settled.
At present they are in doubt. The repub-
lican party must and will stand firm, come
what may. But the democrats are, in our
opinion, making rapid progress, and it is
quite possiblc--we will even say proba-
ble-that they may gain possession of the
Government next year. They will do SO
beyond doubt if. the people are prepared
to try the financial policy so enthusiastic.

WHAT VIGILANCE AND AcNTITY
WILL Do. M

There are none, among The republicans
who do not understand. since the election
that the democracy were very active IN
the campaign, and the republicans not SO
vieilant and active as their opponents. Inc
tactics which prevailed in Massachusetts q
year ago, in the election of Mr.. CASTOR,
the democratic candidate for Governor,
were. tried b. the supporters oil General
Roberts. Their work was done quietly.
They bSd money from abroad. The re-
publicans saw no particular signs of ac-
tivity. IN the opposition. and in many To-
caIities deemed it unnecessary and absurd
to make any preparation for the battle by
organization and appeals to the voters.
What work and effective organization
among the republicans accomplished
where they were fairly tried may be seen
BY looking at the result in this third con-
gressional district, in the three counties oil
Kennebec. Somerset and Lincoln. Lin
coin county is known as county closely
divided between the parties. No well in
formed politician would be surprised at
any. election to learn that it had given a
majority to the one side or the other. But
onlMonday last. in spite of all the schenI-
ing and working Of the democrats. Lin
cola county gave Conner majority, and
elected all or nearly all of the republican
county and senatorial ticket. Had the
republicans been poorly organized or
asleep they would have been defeated.
Vigilance and good management had their
reward In victory. In Kennebec county
similar result from similar cause is seen.
Here the democracy made the best effort
ofwhich they were capable. They were
met with resolution and vigor. Their Sc
cret work was foiled because they were
met By : wide awake and determined OPP
position. The consequence is that Ken
nebec is the banner republican county in
the election. II has elected the republic
car. county and senatorial ticket and IN
CREASED THE REPUBLICAN MAJOR
rTY over that of LAST TEAR. In Somer-
set, also, the fruit Of well directed effort on
the part OF The republicans is seen in
round republican majority for Conner and
the elscsioH Of the republican county and
senatorial ticket.
These three counties show plainly that
withequally good organization. vigilance,
hard work, union and resolution in all parts
~ State as were found in these counties,
VI should have rolled up the majority for
Common and the republican ticket which
We had the strength to do and should have
done. II is difficult thing to make apar-
y which has been victorious in every con-
test for twenty years see before election
the necessity Of making an effort to retain
supremacy. but we have no doubt that in
the counties in which the republicans were
careless and apathetic on Monday morn
Ing last they are convinced today that the
only SURE way in election is to be up and
ready, bold and resolute, united and well
organised

DRIFTING INTO REPUDIA TON.

Aside altogether from, questions of party
interest, It Is q very serious and deplorable
thing to see the democrats taking up as
their settled policy the principle Of infla-
sion. which 10 acknowledged to be a pre-
liminary step to Reputation. We say
that II Is very serious, because il is never
quite certain how far demagogism OF the
kind now preached by the democrats will
be successful. We are quite aware that
some republicans think that the course
taken BY the democrats is an advantage 10
their own party; but We cannot sympa-
thise with that limited view of the subject
The present democratic policy. if perse-
vered in, win entail grave disorders and
troubles upon the whole country. 1t will
seriously iujure the credit of the United
States abroad, and effectually scare away
foreign capital which is absolutely indis-
pensable to growing and comparatively
new country. 1t will send up the price Of
gold, and throw us back twenty years in
the efforts TO get to specie payments. 1t
will disturb anew the trade of the country,
and make merchants and storekeepers
chary Of making purchases for anything
more than their immediate wants, for they
will mot be sure what standard of prices
will prevail from one day to another. And
those evils. although great and iar-reach-
ing in their effect. are not all that this
democratic policy will inevitably bring
upon ", II IL goes on making the progress
which 1t evidently has done for the past
tko years. "
u used to be said that there was no poor
o. discontinued class in this country. II
was useless to attempt to try to sew the
seeds Of hatrod between "rich" and
poor" because in reality no such dvis-
ions Of the people existed. We cannot
say this now. As the country has grown.
the evils which many persons thought
were peculiar to the Old World have
grown mp with it. Poverty exists among
larEe masses Of the people. and fills our
cities with crime. At this moment. great
dls3e6s presses upon tens Of thousands OF
mechanics and lsboring men, and they
can zee no prospect Of better days. At
such time. the democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor Of the great State of
Ohio comes forward to tell them that it is
= political party which has brought this
suffering upon them. 1t has created |
.moneyed aris,ocracy." The poor are
taxed for the benefit OF small minor-
~ of 4sbioated spectators" and coupon
clippers" When Gen. Grant vetoed the
inasiion bill last session, be did it 10
