The Permanency Of Democratic IDEAS

This is the only political party in this
country. which has been permanent, and
the only one which has been founded
on the true doctrines and principles OF
our Governments. It was ORGANIZE inn
lmetliateHi after the Constitution OF the
United States went into operation. and
at the time Of. the Administration OF
Washington. The Federal party was
organized' about the SHINE time. Wash
ingtor aimed to Else above party, and
was not Actually identified with either
of, them. ,fThe Federal party. broke up
and disbanded in 1916, but its doctrines
lived in the minds Of a class OF poll
7ticians without a political organization;
But the Democratic party has remained
and continued it's organization, under
all connections. reverses, and changes,
ON the same original principles on which
it was founded. The platform OF the
party, promulgated every, four years
since Jefferson's first election in 1890,
shows that the party stands now on the
same general principles on which 1t was
originally organized, It can m. not oe
changed until the Government is
changed. 1t stands upop'the true po-
litical doctrine Of the Government; 1T

IF the Republican party shall be de-
feated in 1884 it will break up and go to
pieces, because it has no permanent fun

defeated in 1854, will still continue and

Democratic party have never been per-

the true principles of popular govern
ment. which is the Government OF the
American people. The Federal party
lasted a little over twenty years and
then disbanded. Its successor, the Ma

] few years. The Wing party lasted
some sixteen years and then broke up.
The Native American party and the
Known othing party were ephemeral
and humbug parties. The Abolition
party continued until merged into the
present Republican party and until
slavery was abolished. And there Is
nothing now to keep the present Re-
publican party together but the cohes-
i've ties of power and public plumber.
The Democratic party, therefore, Is
the only permanent party, because the
only party founded on the genuine doc

Unnecessarily Distressing Themselves.

All the Republican papers are 'specu-
lating about the next Democratic Pres
idential nomination and wondering
whom it will fall upon. They are be-
wildered by the number-of promising
aspirants brought into. the field BY the
elections of thisyear and last, and ex-
tending an ~ifonical condolence'to the
Democracy in its difficult task oftlecid-
ing between. SO many distinguishes and

how Judge Hoadly can be overlooked.

his back, and with the dew Of asfresh
and brilliant victory on his brow. Then
there is Governor Cleveland, with the
still fresh laurel of his Victory less than
year old, in the still greater State OF
New York, on his brow; and there is
the old ticket of Tilden and Hendricks,
elected in 1876, and capable of being
reelected in 1884, and there is Gov-
ernor Pattison, of <Pennsyly and
there is Governor Butler, of Massachu-
sets, whom the Republicans delight to
class in the category of competitors for
the Democratic nomination. How,
these papers ask, will the Democrats
dispose Of this embarrassment of riches?
How will they be able to select one re-
cipient for the nomination., when the
choice involves the setting aSideaof half
a dozen unhonored gentlemen?

dent. But, on the 18th of March, 1885,
the party will have use for a large
