The sweeping victory of the Democracy
in this state can have but one Specification.
The issue was put squarely before the peo-
pie, whether they would or would not Sus-
tain the administration and its policy. All
the usual appliances Of the party in power
were brought to bear. Money was poured
out like water. Bribery stood at the cor
ners Of the streets with full purse. Office
holders, speakers, and men for all kinds
of work, on and under the surface. came
in crowds, headed by Speaker Blaine.
Never was there more careful prepara-
ton, or greater effort.
And yet, despite all this, the democrats,
by the simple presentation of their plat
form, in contrast with that inspired from
Washington, have won brilliant victory
There can now be no installing the fact
that the current Of victory is right on, and
will net stay its force until it lands a Demo
cratic President in the White House in
1871.

to witness the pleasing entertainment
presented by Haverly's Minstrels. The
company selected by Mr.. Haverly are
deserving of more than passing com

and displays a high order of talent. His
rendition Of "0ld Black Joe" makes the
character peculiarly his own. His dia-
lect is that of the plantation darkey of
old times. He was heartily encered by
the audience last night. The singing
was far above the ordinary; the bass
voice really excellent; every act was
well received, and the audience pleased
with the entire entertainment, which
was in every way superior to the usual
olio presented by travelling minstrel or.

abundant crops everywhere reported
in the state In a recent issue the

to be favorable to our present Cover

some extent credited with what has
occurred. If Farmer Taylor can do
SO well by US, why change - Here

toady, and withal has an abundance of
cheek. The "worshipping" Times
would have the people believe that the

The Democratic Party.

Everybody knows by reputation
Wilbur F. Story, cold Story as the
naughty papers choose to call him, the
father of the Chicago Times. The
Times is Story's offspring. He nursed
it when it was sickly little wee thing
until it has become giant, and it has
been in the past the oracle of the Dem
ocratic party. Now if anybody knows
what the Democratic party has been in
the past, is today, or what may be ex-
pected of it in the future, that some
body is Wilbur F. Story. The follow
ing is its biography from his pen.
Read it, and ponder well over the facts
depicted, and then remember that the
Reform party of to-day is simply the
Democratic party with its face washed
and hair combed, and hungry as a
baby crying for "pap."
