has encountered during the past twenty-five years that
that was the last Of the Democracy But continues 70
live and the Republicans have concluded that so long as
there il any bad political doctrine to be supported or any
obstacle to be placed the way Of the Nations progress
the Democratic party will survive. On the other hand
the Democrats might well make up their minds that
the Republican party will continue in existence WINE
