was corrupted and success purchased
with the peoples money. Then
we heard again the cry of Democratic
laundering. The stubborn stand made
in Congress against extrayagant and
pro;ligate appropriations and the re-
fusal to refund the National debt at
needlessly high and wasteful interest
were paraded as great blunders. and
the country was warned against the
Democrats as obstructionists and de-
struct;onists. The rational and wise
declarations in the National platform in
favor of reformation in the revenue
system and a constitutional tariff were
declared to be blunders added to blum
ders. Whatever the Democrats did,
either in Congress or in Convention,
was ingeniously and adroitly misrepre-
scented and stigmatized as great and
criminal wrongs. In the meantime the
country was dominated, corrupted or
bought by the aid of the public Treas
ury, and the army of office-holders,
State and Federal. Democratic blunders
have been the least potent of the fac
tors in the disastrous Presidential

"Denocratic BIundering."

Nothing is more common than the
assumption that the Democrats when
in sight of victory always commit some
egregious blunder. and thus throw away
or destroy their own chances. This as
sumption is part of the capital, and
one of the favorite weapons, of the Re-
publicans and their allies. No party
management is perfect. and it will be
confessed without hesitation that the
Democratic party has committed many
errors, but their long series of defeats
may be referred to causes entirely out
side of their own organization. Their
opponents have all the time possessed
the patronage and the powerful want
age ground Of the possession and con-
troll of the Federal Government and its
vast army of office-holders. When
danger of defeat and fear of losing the
places and patronage of the immense
Government machine confronted the Re-
publican party and its dependents, they
have generally been able by almost SUI
perhuman exertion and the use of near
ly unlimited sums of money one way
or another, drawn from the public
Treasury, to turn the tide and snatch
victory from disaster. In every crisis
the cry is raised of Democratic blum
dering. Such was the case in 1872
when Greeley was nominated. Mr..
Greeley ought not to have been nomi-
mated, but the Whisky Rings and illimit-
able corruptions of the Grant Admins
tration, its arbitrary exercise of power
in many States andsthe shameless use of
the public Treasury were in that unset
tied and corrupt period far more potent
agencies than any errors of the Demo-
cratic party. In 1876 the people had
been aroused to the gigantic corrup-
tons Of the party in power, and the
Federal patronage was less concentrated
than it had been before. There was q
fairer expression of public sentiment
than there had been since 1870. The
result was that the country was swept
by the Democratic party. No alleged
laundering prevented success at the
polls that year. In 1880 the Republican
party had pulled itself together again.
The supple, incapable Hayes was IA
Gle instrument in the hands of his party.
The Post-office Department, in the
hands of the Dorseys and Bradys, was
made to furnish the millions which had
before been stolen by the Whisky Ring;

Enthusiastically.

There is no civilized nation without
its festal days, but the institution of
Thanksgiving" is peculiar to our
own country. 1t originated with the
fathers of New England, after they had
passed through protracted period Of
danger and privation, as a mark of
gratitude for the abundant harvest
which had crowned their labors. But
though puritan festival of marked re-
ligious character, Thanksgiving is no
idle ceremony. The rich and jocund
autumn has brought harvest of SUBJ
stantial joys. We have had sun and
rain in their season, and the granaries
of the land overflow with the products
of the field, the orchard and the vine.
War has not ravaged us, famine has
not scourged us, pestilence has not des-
troyed us; but on every hand are evil
dences of increasing greatness and
prosperity. 1t is time for grateful
thanks-offering and for demonstrative
joys.
: 1t is day of social and convivial
Joy as well as of worship. Happy re-
unions, long looked-for family gather
ings take place. The old homestead is
thronged with long absent brothers,
sisters, children and childrens' chill
dren, and the ancient rooftree rings
with shouts of gladness as the ingath-
ering proceeds! Budding childhood
greets decrepid age, and gay and gal
liant youths pay cousinly salutes to
blushing damsels! And SO the loving
tendrils cluster once more around the
parent vine within their native shelter!
The heightened board creaks and
smokes with the choicest viands OF the
season: Fat turkeys and princely pigs;
spring chickens and prodigious oyster
pies, and formidable rows of covered
dishes whose contents are proyokingly
concealed! The children are on tiptoe
with delight and expectation. Long
cherished dreams of plum buildings and
mince and pumpkin pies, an infinitum,
are to be quickly realized. And so,
amid the rich savors of plump roast
fowls and reeking launches, Good
Cheer rubs his hands and smacks his
from over all the land, in mansion and
in cot, from city to plain, sends forth a
glad Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day is the threshold Of
the winter holidays, when all the world
steps aside from weary, tearing strife,
and settles down to q season of pure
enjoyment. Through the open portals
of Thanksgiving we family catch the
tinkle of Kriss Kringle's bells, and the
joyous echo of another "Happy New
Year" Gladness and good-fellowship
are met together. The welkin rings
with song. Twinkling feet peep forth
from under scarlet kistles. Everywhere
is music, mirth and jollity. while from
the mind imbued with reverence floats
back most precious memories of ''the
day we celebrate" and in every heart
is felt the exultation of glad Thanks
giving!-Peopie's Weekly.

A Harmful Position.

The Tribune is the recognized organ
of the Republican party. As such it
declares that the continuance of the
Republicans in power is necessary to
the commercial and financial interests
of the country. We are told that since
the Democrats obtained victories which
gave promise of the election of q Demo-
cratic President q it has been impossible
to restore the confidence which is
requisite to the prosperity of industry
and trade. Capital has been unwilling
to commit itself to new undertakings.
Securities have gone begging for lack of
investors. Almost every commercial or
financial interest has felt the change"
The 7ribune tells us how this condi-
ton Of affairs may be reversed: 1T is
possible that this year reversal of the
popular verdict may start a genuine and
lasting revival Of confidence, with meal
culably beneficial results to all business
interests.
The position taken by the Tribune is
more harmful to capital and more dam
gerous than all the rawlings of Com
munism.
Can it be true that capital persuades
itself that the supremacy of one partic-
ular political party is necessary to its
safetyp II SO, it surely will be ready
to use its power remorselessly, un-
scrupulously, to defeat the attempt of
any other party to supersede it. If 30,
it will for self-protection pour out its
money to defeat the popular will and
control the result of elections.
This means reversal of the form Of
Government established by the fathers
of the Republic.
They decided that q majority of the
people should rule, all citizens being
equal in their enjoyment of civil and
political rights.
But if capital believes that one party
"a minority party--is necessary to its
own preservation, it will use the
almighty power of money to crush the
majority and to keep the minority in
power
Is this the reason the majority of the
people were disfranchised in 1876 by
the fraudulent inauguration of a Presi-
dent defeated by the peoplep Is this
the reason Garfield and Arthur were
elected by purchase in 18S0P-N y

But all feasts come to an end and so

Thus they kept their first Thanks
giving, and Massasoit and his ninety
followers returned to their own domin-

Sachem, in his long life of eighty years,
never forgot his treaty with the Pill
grims, but was true and helpful to
them in many ways.
