likewise solemn and impressive. The per-

The Democratic party In this city is
now in fair way to assert its manhood.
It is not question of party gain simply
it takes higher alma nobler purpose.
Throughout the country, from New York
to California, the grand old Democratic
party is in good condition. has national
and state organizations, and accepts defeat
Tor victory complacently. because it is q
party founded on principles which date
back to the formation of the republic. Its
principles are those espoused by Washing
ton, Jefferson, Jackson and the great
leaders in American progress. and the
Democratic party cannot be wiped out.
Several times its requiem has been
sounded by its opponents, bat only to wits
ness the Democracy rise in its might and
assert its dignity as the greatest
party on the face of the earth.
During the existence of the Democratic
party it has witnessed the rise and
fall of many parties-has been present at
the funeral Of the Wings, the Know Moth
ings, and other parties, and will outllye
the Republican and all other parties
When the Republican party, and all other
parties now in existence shall have passed

ing party. Let there be no weakness now
Just as victory is at land, when. as now
appears certain, the Democracy of the
