The campaign Just closed found the country
in the trough of the political waves. The Re-
publican managers have made the best struggle
they could against state of general apathy.
In few states they have been aided by the
inspiring presence of a great leader, whose
speeches have awakened almost the only en-
thusiasm anywhere shown. The result OF the
campaign is gratifying; its gains are an inspir
alton; the Democratic losses are plain guide
to the popular DRIFT From this time forward
the country will feel the lift Of the advancing
wave of 1888, which, if we all do our duty, will
sweep out from Washington the masqueraders
now in possession, the foes of protection,
equality and patriotic government. 1t is now
the duty of all earnest and experienced workers
to bend their energies toward united and hearty
work for 1888. The party is to be consolidated,
cheered and rallied. To this work The Tribune
pledges its jealous efforts.
The Tribune offers for 1887 several excellent
premiums, including
