THE PARTY OF THE FUTURE.
Defeated Democrats Invited to Enlist
Under the Greenback Banner.

Inc result OF the elections tllS week |
proves, what we have long known, that !
the Democratic party is broken to its
foundations. 1t has no hope of future
triumph under the old regime. There
never was party whose adherentS |
possessed such esprit du corps as this |
grand old organization, even in its dis
solution. Its seeming approach to
power was to he feared as an evil, and |
as a sign of retrogression, We can but |
admire the nerve and the gallantry |
with which it goes down, even while |
we condemn it.
No party can afford to condone such
a sin against the republic as the Demo
Gratis believed to have been perpetrated
against Samuel j. Tilden, and if against
him, against the whole people in 1876.
They did cOndOne it in effect, by setting
aside the only man who had given
them an approach to victory in twenty
years. They did it to place at their
head Il man whose sole use could he to
catch votes by a false pretence. Men
always blunder when they pcrpetrate a
wrong. Hancock was their irretrieva-
ble blunder English is their incubus.
The Democratic party was grand in
its conception; ii was great in its pow
er; there is grandeur still possible to
| 1.-THE greatness of hcing able to aC-
cept the inevitable. The time for that
has come; every struggle against that
fact but initiates against itself. 1t has
fought long and well, but it has laid
down its weapons of vital issues, and
has armed itself with fallaciCs; arms
which serve to round the graves of
those who WELD them.
There is but one way for this party to
live for the benefit of mankind in the
future, as it once lived for their benc-
fit in the past; that is to join them
selves to the real party of change and
reform-the Greenback Labor party
We say this mall truth and sober
ness, and time will prove it truth
and a prophecy. There is not line
in our formula of principles antagonis-
tic to what were the principles of the
old Democracy. when every step in its
onsetS led to victory, Since those days
it has fought a losing fight, because
those principles were made secondary
to lust OF power. They were thelife of
JetfersOnian Democracy: laying them
aside was separating the soul from the
body--the end is death. 4 speedy re-
sumption of that vital force alone can
save it. They have in the campaigns
of the last thirty years thrown princi-
Dles to the winds, and fought for prec-
edence. All along the line they have
planted their batteries and mfurled
their banners. batteries which recOiled
upon themselves and banners which
have shown all cOIorS to the world.
