The WAY it Works.
Journey Herald.l

lQulncy Herald.
The result of the election in Maine
ought to furnish Democrats facts from
which to learn very simple but i'm portant
political lesson, That while they have
enough votes in the country to make one
ticket successful they are not largely
enough In the majority to stray off from
their political principles and lend their
support to every independent heresy that
happens to come up, for the particular
and special benefit of the Republican
party. There is no question but that a
majority of the people of Maioe-and the
same may be saidIof California-are favor
able to the principles of the Democratic
party, and opposed to a longer rule of
Republicanism; yet the Democrats suffer
themselves to be so divided by interna
dissensions as to defeat the very objects
which they are striving to accomplish.
Republicans are organized by the most
rigid endorsements of party discipline,
that forestalls any break in their ranks
from independent tickets, and they are
thus able to make available their full
force, while the Democrats scatter their
forces and win no victories, and it will
continue to be so just so long as Demo.
Gratis refuse to profit by past experience.
A house divided against itself will most
certainly fall.
