PHILADELPHIA Press To George William
Curtis. New York: You will observe that the
Ohio end of the party which you describe as ian
organized conspiracy for spoils," yesterday
bumped up against the business section of the
peoples threshing machine. You will also no
tice that the threshing machine came out of the
discussion uninjured, and Is still doing business
at the old stand. We agree with you that your
Democratic party is very hungry" but it will
have to continue to fast q little while longer.
New YORK Tribune: DO not forget that James
G. Blaine has with him the party Of James A.
Garfield. 1t is stronger than it was four years
ago by natural increase of 500, 600 votes better
united than ever BEFORE and aided by the GER
tainty that a great many Democrats will vote
against their party's candidate Still the great
fact to be- remembered is that the same grand
old party is in the field. The Democrats sneered
at it in 1856, and again in 1860 and have been
sneering at it ever since, and now they imagine
that they fairly extinguish it by calling it the
"G o. p; !" but it is still alive, and begs them to
remember that it elected James A. Garfield ia
1880. and Is stronger now than it was then.
