ouIUS "NEW DEMOCRACY.n

Recent events in Ohio have clearly i'm
proved the Republican prospect, which was by
no means bad at the outset. There has been
another manifestation of the peculiar methods
of the Hoadly- POcketbookwalter new
Democracy, which really meets with dis
tinouisbed success at the primaries and in
conventions of the Democratic party. Money
was poured out 80 lavishly that the complete
defeat of Mr. Pendleton III Hamilton County
delights his adversaries, and those who con-
slider him much more worthy ana re-
spectable person than BOokwalter do not
hesitate to suggest that it will be found easier
IN buy primary than to elect the ticket.
In truth. ,"Gentleman George" seems a
large man, indeed, In comparison with the
"new Democrats" of the pocketbook sort.
He was able enough to sustain himself WIN
credit in the Senate even when his cause was
not good and his antagonists were statesmen
of the first rank, but his advocacy OF civil
Service reform made him better known to his
nautical opponents and bitterly hated by his
noliticaI friends. Mr.. Mclean and the
Hoadlv- Boollwalter faction have no use for
a man who wants to reform things. Hence
thew 90 for Mr.. Pendleton's scalp, and have
the best of him thus Tar.
The question occurs at once to many, when
they read of this performance IN Hamilton
County, whether the Democratic managers
have not given up all hope of success. Men
of shrewdness do not usually begin to scalp
their friends on the threshold of struggle In
which they hope for victory. The supporters
of Mr.. Pendleton are undoubtedly minority
| in the Democratic party a man IS safe to bt
in the minority in that party, if he goes be-
yond insincere and canting talk about reform
and makes an honest effort for it. But the
supporters of Mr.. Pendleton are nevertheless
rather numerous, and they are voters of JUS
the sort that the Democratic party cannot
afford to snub at this time. In fact, IL we may
suppose that the Democrats have 300 chances
of success in 1000, about 299 OF those chances
turn on the possible action of Independent
voters who care a great deal for Civil Service
reform. and arc not to be reached by any
