NO OLD
The Brewers Organ en- Tho Nccessi
ties Of the Democratic Party.

Suecial to the Commercial Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Wash
ington Sentinel, the organ of the brew
ers, is this week more pronounced against
Mr.. Tilden than it usually is against pro
hibition. In its issue of tomorrow will
have this to say of Mr.. Watterson's apos-
trophe to Mr.. Tilden's renewed youth;
"You can not galvanize old Tilden into
life again. He died III 1876, and N
trumpet blow of the angel Gabriel, nor
of Henri Watterson, can restore him to
this life. He is lead and gone, But it
is about time that this Tilden farce should
stop.
at is true that it cannot be helped,
that from time to time those who fleece
! tie ol', MN .spt of lis shekels bv tick
ling him, as Watterson does in the above
article, will direct attention to him rs a
probable candidate for the presidency.
But IL leading democrats ought not to
allow that deception to continue. 1t is
too humiliating for the great democratic
party, and too cruel for the old man him
self. 1t has to cease, just as the talk
about other spawned presidential nags.
There ought to be more earnestness in
the higher circles of democracy. Our
senators and members of congress ought
to exert themselves a great deal more to
effect some organization, and try to find
the best and most available candidates.
Small potatoes, of the calibre of Henry
Watterson, ought never to be allowed to
talk in council, particularly when
they do not own themselves, and
are the slaves of money men and monop-
olists. Especially ought democrats to
exert themselves to establish a trust
worthy press, ably conducted and entire
ly to be relied upon. That they have
not got, and hence the weakness of the
party, though the large majority of the
people of this country are still demo-
Gratis.
"No Tilden nor Hendricks can lead
the democratic party to victory III 1884.
The next democratic candidate for the
presidency must be manufactured of en-
tirely sound, and not of worm-eaten and
decayed timber. He must be brave and
honorable, and hail from the west. He
must be in harmony with the principles
and platform of his party, and not talk
finely of "A tariff for revenue only, and
then vote to increase the duty on an
thracite from fifty to seventy-tive cents
per ton.
'In short, he must be q democrat like
VIM. II. Morrison, of Illinois, assisted
by II. =. Fowler, of New York.
