For 1916.

The coming year brings in addition to the
constant current of events, the peculiarly in
teresting political situation OF the National
house OF Representatives at war with the
senate and the Executive Adrninfnistrstiop.
and the great quadrenniaI contest for the
Presidency. with the vast power and patron
age which 1t controls. A political marty

as a party organization, stood aloof during the
gigantic struggle OF restoration and gave the
aid aud comfort of its sympathy and votes to
the secession confedeIacy, now hopes to cover
up its long record of Gnfaithfulness to the
country, and its responsibility for all the conse.
quent ealamities and financial burdens, by

editorial columns. The Democratic party

paeity 10 reform its own character, or to lay
out policy of government. Even on the
questions of currency and finance which 1t

would be a national calamity. Its present
control of the House OF Representatives Is q
partial anarchy and paraly sis in the govern
ment. While perfe ct purity is not claimed for
the Republican party, yet it has the never
dying gsiory OF having saved the Republic from
Democratic disunion: it has dealt with the
faults of its public men with a msrciless hand;
it is the only party that has a character which
entities it. to be intrusted with the govern

and it will prese Mt to he people n Presidential

the country. on platform of reform and pro-
gress.
