A Demand for a Thourough Or
ganizatiOn.

"A Demand Tor q ThOur0ugh Or
ganization.
The New York Sar earnestly urges
the Democratic press in every sec.
tion of the country to join in de-
handing a thorough organization Of
the party upon advanced and we'll
defined principles throwing dead
Issues aside, and bringing the party
once more abreast Of the times"
This is good idea, and the work
should be commenced at once in such
States as Indiana and New York,
where supineness, treachery, or fac
tional disintegration lost us the last
Presidential election. 1t is better,
perhaps, to clock the stable door af.
ter the stud is stolen" than not TO
lock it at all; for it will insure safety
in the future. There are certain
prominent issues now occupying
public attention that will undoubt.
cdly enter into the next Presidential
canvass, but others quite as import.
ant will probably arise in the course
Of the next three years-determined
to a great extent by the short-com.
ings or misdoings Of the Garfield ad.
ministration, which issues will be
embodied in the next national dem.
ocratic platform. In those States in
which elections occur the present
year, the necessity of immediate or.
ganization is urgent. In this State,
however, no election takes place this
year. If we should commence the
campaign at this early day weshould
be in danger of losing our heat before
it fairly opened. Yet now is the
right time to disseminate correct pc.
litical information among the people,
while they have the leisure calmly
to investigate public questions
preparatory TO entering upon the
campaign, when active exertions
will become the essential prerequi,
sites 10 success.
The country is democratic in sen.
timent. All that is necessary for a
complete triumph of democratic
principles at the next Presidential
canvass is a thorough re.organiza.
ton of the party throughout the
country, under betterl leadership than
in the past.
Distrust the mans Republicanism
who attempts to convince you that
we should not nominate a man for
County Superintendent Radical.
And at the same time "distrust''
his sincerity for free schools. Not
many years ago the Republican or.
gan of this county condemned in the
most pointed language, any man or
set of men, or party, that would drag
our school election into politics; de.
claring all such as opposed to the
system of free schools. Now We have
the Republican organ, advocating a
convention of its party to nominate
candidate for Superintendent Of
Schools of this county, simply be.
cause its editor wants to be that
nominee. The attempt of the Re.
publicans to force the school election
into politics, must be considered as
an effort on their part to cripple the
free schools, if their former declare.
lions are TO be believed. The school
election should be removed from pol.
itics, as far as possible. The action
of the Republicans will DO repudia.
ted at the polls however.
The Chicago Ne'os: AS the days
pass by it becomes palmer and plain,
er that the Democrats have the best
Of the fight that is now going on in
the United States Senate. The Re
publicans have made an issue out o.
matter that does not concern the
people, and the longer they hang on
to it the more the people will be con,
WINGED that the Republicans think
more of a few fat Offices than they dc
Of the interests Of the Nation. This
is the way Mr.. Garfield and Mr.
Blaine see it, TOO.
The moving consideration Of the
alliance between the Republicans in
the Senate and the repudiator Ma

was TO give tho Republicans control
OF the Senate, and then the Republi
