Tho Democratic Party.

at no timo since 1851 have the prospects Of
the Democrats regaining power in the Ma.
tional Legislature been more promising than
now. In Ohio the party has gained in Com
gressmen from Eve out of twenty to thirteen
out Of twenty -ono, the gain being sufficient
in the few States where elections have been
held to reverse tho balance Of power 10 the
House. In Now York the party is stronger
than it has been since the gubernatorial
campaign of Tilden and success is go far
assured that tho Democratic majority in the
State is varously estimated at from twenty
to fifty thousand. The party is also sanguino
of success in Pennsylvania and Indiana
while other States orc claimed. In these
States the party reasonably expect to increase
its representation in Congress and perhaps
control both the Senate and House, the
latter certainly. II such should be the case,
and tho probabilities are favorable for such
result, we hope to SEQ representative of
this old and well approved party again enter
the White House as President.

party appears to BIO q nonentity. Where it
had representatives they havo been lost and

died out in the North and West. In fact, its
appearance here is somewhat like the fashions
once were in the South. About the time
they had become absOletc and were forgotten
in the North they made their appearance
here and created great sensation. Is not
that the case with this to us new partyf

not folly to abandon the Democratic party at q
time when it is daily growing stronger in the
