asked by many inqurerS. There are
very few men in any part of the country
able to answer that question. Republic
can? No.li Democratic? The Democrats
say no. Prohibitionist? His advertise

Cleveland says, There ought to be
change of parties in the administration
of the government" He says the
government has been administered by
party ''whose interest in affairs ends
with partizan zeal and advancement of
personal advantage. In the course of
his lToledo remarks, Mr.. Blaine said:
"The Republican party has governed
the country for twenty-four years in the
spirit and according TO the measures of
broad nationality" and ito remand
the government of the United States TO
the control of the Democracy is not
merely an ordinary change of parties.
1t is a tot0l reversal Of the entire policy
Of the Government Of the tnitcd States
since 1861" Commenting on these
contradictory statements of the two
prominent candidates, the Chicago Fri
bune says: The spirit of Nationalism
has been progressive under Republican
rule, which began by reversing the
Democratic dogma of State above the
Union, by asserting the supremacy Of
the Nation over individual States, and
indicated that principal at the sacrifice
of hundreds of thousands of lives and
thousands of millions of dollars i'll the
War for the preservation of the Union
from dismemberment The Democrats
waCed that bloody War 10 establish the
the right of the States to seccde and des-
troy the Union whenever they pleased.
Out of this victory came the abolition
of slavery, the amendments of the Con
stitution, the establishment of equal
rights. the intervention of the National
authority to protect National elections
from Democratic fraud, the birth of
National citizenship, the enlargement
OF sovereign powers over the currency,
the assertion of sovereign ight 10 regu-
late public and quaSi-public corpora
tions, and manifold other principles OF
Nationality evolved from Republican
legislation Do the people want to
abandon all this progress and 90 back
TO the contracted and obsolete ideas
still cherished by the Democratic party?
That is The leading question when a
change from the Republican to the
Democratic party IS suggested. 1t is
not merely "a question OF partizan yea
and advancement Of Of personal adj
vantage" rs Cleveland puts it, but "a
total reversal of the entire policy thai
has distinguished the Government since
1861" rs Mr.. Blaine puts it.
