4 Political ucyoIu,Icn ot unnd.

II must be evident to all intelligent and
dispassouato Observers Of political events that We
are ON the verge Of great political revolution,
that win ho equally omurotcnt North and South.
The regulation party lcadcrsand their dependent party
organs Will ho slow to lcatn that their vocation S
nearing ITS end, aud even thoughtful and progressive
men, who aveloug been anchored IN Republlcansm or
Democracy, WIN I've reluctant to accept general re-
cast of political patticsj but tho people afro vastly
ahead Of conservatives and leaders, and they will pre-
clpltoc end vonsummatr what the advanced wants OF
tho county demand.
Thcreis pvcty Indication to-day that the Sodlh r. or
the verge of revolution and only the fear ot united
North ON the old sectional lssne hnders The lNmc-
Iate outroot Thai tons of thousands In oycry rccoh-
Structed state dcsito, Thcy want peace, national
tranquility Industrial rrogCss, aud an absolute dc
narturo from the lss0es which were rtevOCahly set
tied hy tho sword, They want freedom TO discuSss
tue tatin, commerce, manufacturing Immigration,
and state advancement aud they are restless IN inc
They are not, and can't bo made Re
pubiicous, for Republlcanlsm In the south Is unsa-
worry ut fraud theft debauChcry aud dcsolaion. 1hcy
are not now mud never have been since the war, In
love with Democracy, but II was the only port that
accented Z. They see that the missions ot both par
| ties have been practically fulfilled, and they viii
| gladly welcome revolution that leaves political
| discharge the duties OF the living.
There Is every Indication to-day that the North Is
on the verge VI political revolution. Our people have
| grown weary u the bawng demagogues who are
| warriors IN peace aud non-nghters In war. They
understand that all the sectional strife OF the last
decade has been foncntcd and nnamcd hy those who
dare not trust themselves or their to the Consd
crate Judgment Of the people, and they only grow
lug degenenCy IN statcsnlushlp and the ntOstitt
tlun Of our whole political system TO Struggle for
spoils The North wants peace, national tranquility,
Industrial progress and absolute departure from
| the Issues which irtCvocably settled by the
sword, Bosses have lnttenChcd themselves In pOwciI
| rronlgacy has become the common offspring Of our
political iule, and "goyernment OF the poorc, Wy
the people and for the people, sgradnally but surely
becoming moCkery in tho great North that boasts OF
Its patriotism, courage aud sacrifice In preserving
free government. The Northern people are not DEM
| ocrats anu can't become Democrats. They are not
| In sympathy with Its doctrines Its policy. Thry
believe that the mission of Democracy for national
usefulness ended with the advent of war; they he
lieve that the mission Of Rcpubcansm ended with
the final victory Of the logical results Of the war; aud
| they want enlightened craftsmanship, guided
by something higher andnoler than the spns system
| They ready for revOlutiOn-not for wild, blind,
meaningless revolution, but for revolution that points
| unerringly to better government,
| That such n revolution IL rapidly approaching
lie evident to all who the depth and
breadth Of the local revolutions threatened In all
| sections. Republican Pennsylvania Is reasonably
| certain to be revOlutonised and Democratic North
Carolina Is as likely to he dfifed from her political
| moorlngs. ohio promises to he Democratic In Octo-
| Der nnd Tennessee promises to be Repubcan-no hes
| cause ohio Is Democratic or Tennessee Republican,
but because ohio can't tolerate ohio Republlcansm
| and because TENNESSEE can't tolerate Ten
| nessee Democracy. New York win dethrone her
Republican despotism and Missouri Is the point Of
| revolution against her bourbon Democracy. Maine,
| New Hampshire, and Connecticut are trem-
| bling In the political scale. and even from
| Texas comes the distinct murmurs which are
are the harbingers Of crumbng dynasties on every
hand there Is dstrust In leadership dstrust In states
| manshlp, and distrust In public Integrity, AMI n
political atmosphere charged with deadly elements
must end in the tempest. The revolution Is coming
and 1t promises well for political manhood aud ee-
waited craftsmanship. AMI well for the Republic
