and its unwilling and unanswered
notes were not from the throat of q
democrat. The tear-soiled camp
letters which the mother read aloud
in the long, bitter evenings while the
boys clustered at her knees did not
fall upon democratic ears. The girls
sobs, blending with the mothers
weeping, did not make democrats of
their brothers. Perhaps the father
had been a democrat all his life!
The children go to school. There
is not a democrat on it's benches.
The first reader contains portrait
of Abraham Lincoln-that kind and
sturdy face never made a democrat.
In the prancs of the play ground the
name silences the frolicsome and
makes the iolliest grave. That name
never made democrat. In the pic
lures that light up the geography
are the firing on fort Sumpter and
the death of Ellsworth. 4Those pic
lures make no democrats. The first
page of the history contains a repre-
sentation of the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox. No boy gazes on that
and ever after avows himself q dem-
ocrat.
In the higher grades the same
subtle aud 1nresisted influence is at
work. The textbooks contain ex-
tracts from patriots speeches during
the war. Those speeches make no
democrats, The great battles are
briefly described; the narrative has
no democratic listeners. The strain
of martial music runs through the
readers, and that music makes NO
democrats. Sketches of the great
generals are given; their brave deeds
arouse the enthusiasm of the lads
| but there is no democrat among
them. The horrors and suferings Of
the slaves are told; the maddened
blood that mounts the boys cheeks
is not democratic blood. The curse
Of slavery has pursued the democrat
ie party, and has bounded it to its
death. Therefore, let it die; and nc
lip will be found to say praye,
over the grass on it's grave.
The late defeat need not be at
tributed to any other cause. Other
causes wers at work-but they were
only incidental. The tariff was one
Sectionahsm WAS q second. LET
well enough alone, was third
The October failure in Indiana was
a fourth. But all these were trivial
and together could not have accom-
| plished the result The result was
accomplished Because the youth Of
the republic is not democratic. That
party is, therefore, without a future
and without hope. The maledie-
ton of the war has palsied it's brain
The curse of slavery has poisoned
it's blood and rotted its bone. Let
it die.

THE MOREY LETTER.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-Judge Davis,
at late hour last night, sent a COM
munication to the newspaper Offices,
in which he says he is satisfied that,
in giving a summary of Hart's testi-
mony in the Philip case from his
memoranda and recollection, he fell
into error relating to the time when
Hart took the Morey letter
the national comm ttee rooms
for examination, a. which time
Hewitt first examined it. The text
of the letter had been published
and the fac simile Eal net
been, and it was to determine wheth
er the letter should be Autographed
and published in fac simile that Hart
sought the opinion of Hewitt and
others as to its genuineness.2 In
every other particular Judge Davis
says he believes the evidence and all
the inferences made by him from it
are fully justified by facts, and then
the Judge goes on to show how the
error happened to be made, and to
inquire whether it is of any material
significance in forming O correct
opinion of his conduct in the affair.
He says the letter, as first
published, would have fallen
still born as silly and useless forgery
if it had not been taken up and car
ried through .the photographs and
photographic fac SMILES on the shoul~
ders of the national committee and to
Hewitt's stronger character.

WHAT KILLED THE DEXz D.
CRATIC PARTY.
An independent Newspaper, wit In
Lifelong Democratic Leaning,
Tells The Whole Story.
From The Chicago Times

The recent presidential election
has shown that there is an invincible
reason why the democratic party can
never win a national victory. It is
that the youth of this republic is not
democratic. The sons of democratic
fathers have grown up republicans.
So long as slavery and the war linger
within the memory of Americans,
the youth of the republic will contin-
ue to grow up republicans; and slav-
cry and the war will be remembered
as long as the public school system
exists. The public schools have
slain the democratic party with the
text books.
It is vain for statesmen to declare
that there were as many democrats
as republicans in the union army. It
is vain to affirm that the war for the
preservation of the union could not
have been carried to a successful
close without the assistance of the
democratic party. 1t is idle for
philanthropy to suggest that the at
titude OF that party toward the war
in the beginning was humane one;
that it was inspired by the higher
and better wish that the cause of the
cause of the conflict should be
peaceably removed, and the spilling
of brothers blood by brothers hands
avoided. The democratic party has
been ideally identified with slavery
and slaveholding. The republican
party is ideally identified with eman
cipation and the war. Therefore is
the youth of the country incapable OF
being democratic. Therefore the
democratic party can never win a
national victory. Its old men are
dying away. 11fe boys who catch
the ballots that fall from their stiff
fened hands are republicans.
This fact can not be denied II
will do no good to quarrel with it.
ALI other causes which have oper-
ated to diminish the number of dem.
ocrats and increase the number OF
republicans are insignificant beside
this one tremendous and invincible
fact. The curse of slavery has
poisoned the blood and rotted the
bone of the democratic party. The
malediction of the war has palsied
it's brain.
The young wife who held the babe
up to kiss the father as he hurried tc
the tap of his departing regiment
has not sucked d democrat. The
weary foot of the gray grandmother
who watched the children while The
wife was busy has not rocked the
cradle of democrats. The chair that
the soldier father never came back tc
fill has not been climed upor
by democrats. The old blue
coat that his comrades carried
back was cut up for little
jackets, but not one inelosed tht
heart of q democrat. The ratified
musket that fell from him with his
last shot became the thoughtless toy
of his boys; but not a hand thai
played with it was the hand Of {
democrat. The babe he kissed
crowed and crowed for his ret1rn
