some lines of business at the larger
Western cities renewed activity is
apparent.
The commercial demand for funds
at Chicago and elsewhere West has
increased, and for the above and 9TH

The Republican party may be trust
cd to assert itself with more dignity
and propriety, knowing as it does
that the period of its opposition will
largely depend upon the strength and
skill with which it adapts itself to
the new situation. A mere system
attic course of fault-tinding and OBJ
struction would not commend the
party to the common sense and patri-
otism of the country nor tend to con-
vince the people that it is sincerely
DESTROYS of promoting the general
welfare. Such course is, therefore,
to be avoided.
But while this is true, we do not
think the Democracy should be well
coined into power with an obsequi
Gus and a craven submission. The
party that saved the Union is not
broken in spirit; not weak and pow
erless before its old time enemy; but
stung and quickenened by a hundred
treacheries in its own ranks, humilia-
ted and angered by reverse brought
upon it through those treacheries,
it confronts its opponents to-day a
more determined, more vigilant,
more formidable organization than
it was when it went into the contest
of 1884. 1t camps to-day on higher
ground than that from which it
marched to that conflict. In that
contest it made six Democratic States
in the north Republican; won as
many Republican governors and leg
islatures; gained two United States
Senators and twenty-five members of
the lower house. With these avan-
tages secured, the Republican party
is again ready for battle. There is
no misgiving among the rank and
file, no disposition to fall away from
duty because of present partial fail
ure, but n observation-disclosures than

the party and lift it up to success
when the next opportunity for sue
cess presents itself. This is the spir-
it which animates Republicans every
where between the two oceans, and
it is a spirit which will not descend
to initiate the Democracy in oppos-
ing every measure of the majority
on the common ground that they are
Democratic measures and therefore
unworthy Of fair and patriotic treat
ment. The Republican party will
adopt the more dignified and patriot
ic course of dealing with all public
measures solely upon their own mer-
its, not doubling that there will be
abundant opportunity to resist Dem
ocratic schemes on justifiable grounds
without adopting the idea that every
thing proposed by the party in pow
err must be opposed whether there are
good reasons for doing so or not, AS
a powerful and vigilant and dignified
opposition, the Republican party
will not lack the occasion for strength
ening and perpetuating its hold upon
the gratitude and affection of the
country.

he made desperate appeal to their
