Democratic speakers are cXhOrted to appeal 10
the Democrats. They are not missionaries sent 10
convert Republicans. not they. but to resist ana
combat the dangerous ideas which threaten to find
Judgement in Democratic minds. This statement OF
the Democratic programme Tor speakers IS not guess
work.
The stumpng will not be entered upon in earnest
for several DAYS yet. 4 few kcy-notes nave
been delivered, chiefly designed for printing ana
circulation by mail. Much depends OF course upon
the success Of the respective parties IN getting ONT
their voting strength, but the more important Oh
the issues has long been before the people anu mas
taken hold of the public mind. SO that compare

IN any event. The GreenbacKcrs have an Organl-
zatinn of some thousands and hold a balance of
power in lOcaliries but their attitude as between
the two great parties is undecided. They are
party of purely commercial instincts and Will favor
the side which fayors them, IN the absence OF any
principles of their own. In some quarters they
have put ticket in nomination, composed Oh can
ddates selected from the other tickets hcpup-
ican for this Office and Democrat for that.
TIE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK
juice Mcdonald thinks the Democrats will
gain two. three or perhaps f0uI Congi cssmen. and
some prominent Republicans admit that such
result is probable but without apparent reason, as
may easily he shown.
The Congressional districts of the State were ar
RANGED in their present form 10y the Democrats,
and for their own advantage, OF curse But they
spread their mqIoritcs out too thniv and only sue
ceeded at the last election, when purely Nati )hal
issues were uppermost, III carrying hve districts
ont of thirteen. The position IN respect to those
issues is practically unchanged, and the advan-
tages which the Republicans then possessed are still
available. If 1t be granted thaI ire new issue Is
new advantage 10 the Republicans. then II Is falr
to expect they will hold their own in the Congress
sonal election. -, go
