81 YEARS OLD.

To-day the DEMOCRAT celebrates
its thirty-fourth birthday. 1t is 6
source of much pleasure and the oc
casion of no little pride to US, that il
is today, as it was more than third
of century ago, found fighting the
battles of the same old Democratic
party and following the same old
banner, which has led the DEMOCRAT
into many hard fought battle and
flashed aloft after many we'll earned
victory. Times have sadly changed,
unbounded wealth has given place to
dire poverty, new parties have had
their short day, all, or nearly all, of
those who first read the DEMOCRAT
when it was started have gone to
their long home, but our paper still
lives and rejoices in the opportunity
Of still fighting in defense of the
rights Of our people and growing grey
in their service.
Since the commencement of our
last volume no stirring political
events have disturbed the seven ten
or of our way" and the record of the
past twelve months is chiefly to be
noted for the reign of peace, law and
order for which we, as people, had
so ardently longed for during the
fearful years of our struggle with
radicalism. AS had been promised
by our party in the political cam
paign of 1876, the officers elected by
us then have administered the law
faithfully and impartially, and the
whole people, freed from the agita-
tions of politics, have been sedulous-
ly devoting themselves to the effort
of repairing the financial misfortunes
Of the past.
The times have grown harder dur
ing the year, but we have reason to
believe that we have seen the begin
ming of the end, and with the unusu-
ally good crops now being gathered,
we have every reason to hope that
The worst, in this respect, is over. |
As we write tue scourge of Yellow
Fever is threatening to become cpl
1emic in New Orleans, and is already |
30 in Grenada, Mississippi, where it
IS running some such a course as it
lid in Shreveport and in Savannah. |
This mars the congratulations we
would have liked to extend to our
leaders on this occasion, and instead |
We can only hope that they will es-
cape its visitation. In beginning a
1ew volume, it is certainly not nee
ess"ry for us to say, that the DEMO

TARDY REPENrANcE.-It is n sipgu-
Far fact that Mr.. Foster, member Of
Congress from Ohio, who was the first
man in the house to define, proclaim
and defend Mr.. Hayes Southern poll
cy, should now be publicly expressing
his disappointmengat it. In adopting
this policy, he sab Mr.. Hayes sshas
alienated from hiA the great mass Of
the leading and influential Republicans
of the country. Hehas lost their sym.
patty and to great degree their sup
port" and in return he has failed to
win the Southern States over to the
Republican party; the South is solid
and Democratic. "A solid Democratic
South" says he;S "means the control Of
the country by the spirit and the men
who sought its destruction. Ny own
opinion is that there can be no peace
the question will not down until the
menace of the solid South is With
drawn"
Mr.. Foster speaks too late. His re-
pentance of the Southern policy is
thrown away. The promise of that
policy-a promise made through Mr..
Foster himself-was the price Mr..
Hayes paid for Presidency. Had lie
not given that promise. and thereby
secured the consent of the Southern
Democrats to his installation, he would
not have been installed. If Mr.. Fos-
ter did not see through that days
work as the Southern Democrats saw
through it, he has no one but himself
to blame. It is very ungracious for
him to come forward at this day and
denounce one side or bargain which
he had SO much to do with making.

their cargoes of yellow fever, will be
thus regarded and treated. The
hundreds of guarantees and the ear

non intercourse they can protect
themselves from this fearful scourge,
