1t Never Can win

There is a palpable, clear, Ineligible
reason in the nature of things why the
democratic party can never command a
majority of the votes of the American
people. The voters Of the United States.
will never intrust to its control the adj
ministration, of their affairs. 1t may
continue to live along, in deathly sort
of a way, refusing to- draw its last
hrsath for a number of years or for an
indefinite period to come. But it will
never be again the dominating party la

The democratic party is a mere relic
of the past. 1t is not vital part of the

to the general business Of tho
country which forms part Of
the dem cratic belief, or IS in any way
associated with the existence Of tho

out all this poison. 1t is natures remedy,
prepared from the roots of the forests, and
nothing in its composition comes from the
