Tho only hope of the Democracy lies in the re-
nomination of Grant st Chicago, when the open
attempt to revolutioniZe our form of Govern
ment will stir tho conscience of the country. and
drive all patriotic hearts into a support Of the
Democratic party. But were this not to happen,
or were Grant TO die, the Democracy would be
doomed.
Unfortunately fer tho democratic party, and,
what is Of moro consequence. for the welfare OF
tho country, there is more truth than poetry 10
what the Colonel says. and if the voters of the
party don't change their leaders pretty soon the
whole organization will be swamped.
