The Psnnsylvanln Democrats.

The Pennsylvania Democrats, by their
Representatives In State Convention assem-
bled, have done great work towards the
election of Democratic President Of the
United States, in the National contest two
years from now.
The result of this convention must satisfy
every fair-minded man beyond q reasonable
doubt, that the State of Pennsylvania will
be carried by the Democratic party at the
election next fall. This election is one of
the most important that has been held there
for several years. 1t involves the Governor
and other State officers, the State Legisla-
ture, and Congressional delegation which
may determine the political complexion of
the next National House of Representatives.
If the Democratic party is successful, of
which fact there now seems to be no room
for doubt, it will become so firmly en-
trenched in power that years will elapse
before it can be dislodged, particularly If the
wise and judicious official conduct fore
shadowed by the excellent nominations is
maintained.
With Pennsylvania securely anchored in
the Democratic ranks the result of the next
Presidential election is determined in ad-
vance. Ohio is undergoing political revo-
luton that will make 1t Democratic for
years, as the German vote, which has long
been cast in favor of the Republican candi-
dates, has been irrevocably lost by that
party's unwise and oppressive legislation,
and will henceforth be cast almost solidly
for the Democracy. Indiana is swinging back
to her Democratic moorings, while in the
great State of New York the treacherous
Tammany combination has been rendered
powerless, and the Empire State will once
more resume her position as the bulwark of
the Democratic party. Connecticut is gravi-
tating towards her old-time Democracy,
while in Maine the Republican party is still
unable to regain the majority which only
few years ago was numbered by thousands.
Never was there such brilliant prospect for
complete triumph all over the country,
and the approaching dissolution Of the Re
publican party is as certain as the rising and
the setting of the sun.
Every Democrat in this State, should
carefully consider these encouraging "signs
-" of the times" and resolve to put forth
every effort to keep Delaware in the galaxy
of Democratic States whose votes will surely
elect the next President. The party is now
in excellent condition, and strong, active
I. canvass, which shall bring every Democratic
voter to the polls, will not only carry the
State for the Democracy, but swell the ma
jority to the figures by which Delaware
electoral vote was given to the Democrats
candidate for the Presidency in 1876. Tn,
air is full of Democratic music and al
who wish to participate in the grant
triumph should at once become enrolled
under the banner which will lead to Ger
tain victory. The people are longing for
change in the National Administration, an
the first move towards the defeat of tn
jobbers and corruptionists whose extraya
CANT legislation is bearing oppressiyel
upon an already tax-burdened people wi
be made next fall. The "deluge" is comm
and the little State OF Delaware, which hi
cast its vote for every Democratic candida
for the Presidency (with single exception
since 1882, should not falter now when IL
political skies are bright with the promi,
of glorious triumph. Let every Dem
crat battle sturdily for the success of Il
party and victory will be assured.
