Foruey's Tribute.

Fornev's Philadelphia Progress, a bit
ter Republican paper, has this glowing
tribute 10 pay the Democratic party.
It's really refreshing tohave such truth
ful and amazingly frank utterances come
from such a source, but probably only
so because one has formed too harsh an
opinion of men who are seemingly the
bitterest and most partizan OF their
party. The truth, like murder, will out
occasionally:
We are OF those who will never forget
the Democratic party-that pure aud
noble old organization which was main
w instrumental in enlargiug the area OF
the country and adding To the States OF
the Cnion-which acquired Florida,
Louisiana, Texas and California, and
which, in two wars with a foreign foe,
carried our flag to victory and eStab-
lishcd our martial ability among the ma
tons Il the world What the Anglo
Saxon has been and is 10 civilization the
old Democratic party has been and is
10 the politics OF the American people.
Disguise it rs some men may, 1t Is to
Democrats that all parties owe more or
less of their leadership and champions,
and there never has been a successful
party in this country that did not con-
tain i'm its ranks, or its lead, men OF
former eminent Democratic characters
ties who received their first training for
political services in the ranks OF the
Democratic party.

When Commodore Vanderbilt was

and their tributaries under his own
