would be we'll for both parties to duly
consider the political Geld M IL Ia.
Democrats should remember that tho
Republican party Is solidly entrenched
In power, having contrel of the execu-
tive power aud patronage Of the whole
country. This alono Ii equal to at
least a million of votes. TIE large
body Of the voters Of the Rspublican
party are too much prejudiced and
biased against the Democratic party TO
support at the polls any Democrat for
president. This Is especially the case
among the unintelligent, ignorant part
Of the party. And many will DO heard
to say that they would vote for the
devil ia order TO beat the Democrats.
But fortunately they ATE not all like
this. Democrats in this campaign will
have 10 meet the influence Of corpora
tions and aggregated capital as these all
want just such a man as Blaine in the
presidential chair. Any man who can
DO controlled by pecuniary considera-
tions will suit the corporations. On
the other hand the Republicans should
not forget that they have unnumbered
sins Of omission aud commission Ia
answer for. The people have not for
gotten the post radeship scandals, The
whisky ring disgraces, the star route
swinGles, but worse than all, they have
candidates for president aud vice Lresi-
don't, nominated through the huenct
largely Of tho men who promoted and
instigated these great crimes against
the government and the people. There
iss growing sentiment throughout the
country that il would DO dangerous u
the peace and welfare Of the people and
the government TO call Blaine 10 th'
executive chair. This distrust is found
ed in the belief that from his prevailing
love Of parade, show and sensation, h'
would involve the country in . forcigr
war within brief period after bis IN
auguration. The nomination Of LogaT
adds no strength TO the ticket. Besides
all this the Republicans are confronted
by an element Of opposition which nei-
Their party has ever heretofore had Il
meet and overcome. Tbis il the lArg'
number Of respectable and inauentia
Republican newspapers which have de-
clared against theiI ticket. As show
ing the extent of this spposition WI
call the attention Of our readers TO I
list OF such newspapers on the first pag
Of this issue. Our Republican friend
console themselves when speaking o
this revolt by the hope that these bel
ters will return TO their first love an,
support Blaine, but we warn them tha
this isa very slender thread upon whicl
to hang their hopes for the success 0
their ticket. Another mistake mad
By them is q failure on their part b
duly comprehend and carefully wsigl
the fact that men are growing NOR
independent every day. That they ar
lees controlled by party ties than eve
before. That to very large numbe
Of Republican voters there is no terro
in the thought that Democrats ma.
succeed this fall to power in the genera
government. That many Rspublical
voters secretly wish that this may b
30. All these things considered in Al
bipartisan, ,dispassionAte way give stron
hope of success to the Democrats. Den
, ocrats however should not forget ia
words of wisdom Of s. J. Tildep, wher,
in he says that Dan ,crAts, in order /
win, must have two-thirds msjori,
in order TO win.
