While there is not that harmony
existing we would like in the ranks
Of the Democratic organization, the
indications favor coming together
Of the rival interests, SO that after
the June nomination we may expect
a firm, united and determined stand
against the, further advancement of
the Republican party.

For the first time in long years
if ever-the Democrats have pushed
the Republicans so hard that they
have failed to elect their Governor
in Rhode Island by the popular vote,
and will have to go to the legisla-
ture. If poor men could vote in
Rhode Island the Democrats would
have swept the State.

We are for the old Jeffersonian
Democracy, its ancient faith and
principles, its ancient courage and
fidelity, and against all the present
cowardly surrender of its grand old
charter, and hence for him who is
the embodiment of its history and
probity, Horatio Seymour.

Seymour and Hendricks.

While we have decided political
views at all times and are ever
ready to throw them to public criti-
cism, we think sometimes that views
of this kind are often premature
The man that the Democratic party
dominates next June will be the
man that we will heartily endorse.
And we think any of the prominent
gentlemen that have been spoken of
for the Grief Executive Mansion,
will fill it with honor to themselves
and credit to the country. We think
the grand old principles Of Democ-
racy will land us safely in the harbof
of political peace and plenty with
any good Democrat as leader
Seymour and Hendricks will do us.

The General Assembly adjourned

The General Assembly adjourned
sine die Saturday night at IL o'clock,
April 10th. 1t is now receiving
some of the abuse which such bod
les fall heir to. And yet, witA all
its errors, frailties and short-com-
ings, it has been as good as the
average Legislature. What it lack
ed in ability it made up in energy.
1t did not undertake to do too much.
For this we are grateful. 1t is not
the part Of wise legislation to pass
measures merely for the purpose of
repeating them the next session and
giving few ofice-seekers a chance
to advertise" themselves and del.
uge the body with twaddle and talk.
The truth is that the great point to
be gained-one that we fear we shall
never gain-is to dispense with the
too frequent meetings of such
bodies. 1t would be a God-send to
the State if it could have a Legisla-
ture of one-half the present mum.
Der, and permit it to meet only
once in four or six years; VIXEN Leg
islatOrs would think more and de-
bate less; and when members would
cease fathering little unimportaDt
measures to keep their names before
their constituents.
We are not disposed to grumble at
our 'last Legislature" for its short
comings. We are satisfied. Had
it done less--yea, nofhing-we
would still be satisfied. "The world
is governed too much" Now give
us a rest-a full two years rest.
