WATTERsoN's WORST FEARS REALIZED.
Democrats have now nothing but New York
to look to- If we lose New York. little less
than miracle will save us. We may as we'll
take matters as they are and consider them
from practical point of view. We cannot
afford to deceive ourselves. The worst fears
of the " Courier-Journal " have come to pass.
In the light of this great reverse wild and
visionary Democrats must see the error Of
their ways and make an effort to amend
their folly. Their hopes are scatter
ed Their counses have come to
nought. They should go TO the rear an
& fall in line, ready to follow and obey. All is
by no means lost if Democrats can be
brought to q sense of their danger and com
prehension and application of the strictest
rules of party discipline. -Louisoitte Courier
