As q Failure the Democracy Is n
gnaN0ao


The breech that was opened between the
Eastern and Western Democracy during
the recent elections, and has steadily been
widening until there is now open and de-
clared warfare between them, can hardly
be closed up in time to make their chances
good for winning the Presidential race in
1876. The temporary success Of the De-
mocracy in the election which made Al
LEN Governor, and enabled that party tot
count majority in both houses of the
Ohio Legislature, served TO inspire them
with confidence and gave them prestige
success in this years elections; and It is
undoubtedly true that they had the advan-
tage Of position, and il the administra-
ton of the States affairs had been
such as TO have benefited the masses
of the people, the result would have
been different. But tue party had been so
long out in the cold its managers hun
gered and thirsted for the spoils, and the
legislation they inaugurated was so dam.
aging to the country, and the appointments
by the Governor, in the main, so objections
able to the people, that they thus frittered
away their chances for success--in ouI
humble opinion, the only chance they will
ever have, as the party now stands consti
tuted. II the Republican party is ever re
quired to surrender the reins of Govern
ment it will not be by the present organi
zation known as the Democratic Party.

History of a Drinking Club.

Some years ago, in a large town in the
west of Scotland, there existed drinking
club of upwards Of twenty members, all Of
whom belonged to the middle class Of So
oiety. This club had great influence in
municipal affairs, and several of its mem
bers we're elected to fill posts in the town
council. The drinking WAS carried on to
fearful extent in the tavern where they
met. The members were to be found often
in the club at all hours of night and day.
Their drinking was often connected with
such noisy mirth as to attract the attention
of the pussers by. The club was broken
up. Two of its members were sent to a lu-
natic asylum. One jumped from a win
dow and killed himself; one walked or fell
into the water and was drowned one was
found dead in public house; one died of
delirium tremens; upward Of ten became
bankrupt; four died ere they had lived
half their days.

Again the wires are burdened with the
sickening details Of shipwrecks and disas-
ters at sea. A few days ago the Pacific, of
the Pacific Mail Line, foundered at sea and
but one soul survived to tell of the disas-

ago, large steamer took fire, burned to
the waters edge and sunk-the passengers
and crew took to the boats, but were driv-
en- out to sea by fearful storm and none
Of them have been heard from. So IL seems
the great Harvester, Death, is abroad up

The Democrats of Ohio charge lavish
expenditure of money upon the Republic
cans. There is good authority for saying
that less money was used for the recent Re-
publican campaign in Ohio, than for any
campaign during the past twelve years.
The verdict rendered was the honest con-
viction of the people, expressed at the bal
lot-box
