DEMOCRACYS OPPONENTS.

DEMOCRACYS OPPONENTS.
In the hundred years of the republic
three parties have divided between them
the opposition to democracy, and 1t is
curious to note, says the Chicago Herald,
that each Of them existed about the same
length of time, coincident with one gen
Grafton of men.
With the ratification Of the constitution
in 1883 the Federal party commenced its
career. and it lasted until 1920, when it
went to pieces a period of thirty two
years, during which it held power for
twelve. This party was privately the
most respectable and publicly the least
sagacious of all the great parties which
have divided the country. 1t had great
leaders, but they never formulated their
principles in a way to be comprehensive
to the mass of the. voters, and the writ
ings of Hamilton, OF Cabot, and OF Fisher
Ames may be searched 10 vain for an ex-
position, well defined, of cardinal party
principles, in this respect being in marked
contrast with the writings OF Jefferson.
In 1924 the Adams and Clay Republi-
cans united and completed the organiza-
ton of the party, which a few years later
assumed the name of Wing. Henry Clay
became its accepted and cherished leader,
aud during his lifetime it was a strong OPP
ponent of the Democratic party. 1t was
successful in but two presidential contests,
e~lecting Harrison in 1910 and Taylor in
1913, aud both OF those victories proved
to be almost as disastrous as defeat.
Both presidents died in Office, and the
vice presidential successors rent the party
with dIssentions which forbade farther
success. Its great leader, Clay himself,
brought about its most fatal rupture
through the fugitive slave law and COM
promise Of 1850. In the presidential
campaign Of 1852 it was overwhelmingly
defeated, carrying but four states
out of the thirty one, and
these by very narrow majorities.
1t continued to exist in some of the states
until 1856, when its adherents took refuge
in the other parties. Its last convention
was held in 1856, when it placed no can
didates in nomination, but endorsed the
candidacy Of fillmore and Donelson, who
had been nominated by the American
party. Thus it also lasted thirty-two
years. Its great economic doctrine was
the high protective tariff, which it had

handwritings?"
well. that is, generally speaking, not
as bad as might be expected, especially in
q cosmopolitan city like Chicago, which
can boast of all sorts of national hand
writings. Long practice has skilled our
eyesight and gift of distinction so that we
but rarely have difficulty in decipher-
ing any style of writing. In my twenty
years experience l think 1 remember only
two or three occasions where was unable
to make the writing out. Judged by
nationalities the Chinese are by all
odds the worst penmen-that is, Of
our style of writing. You'd die laugh
ing If you could see sometimes the
c~hirography some of these almond eyed
gentlemen indulge in. The Italians
come next as illegible writers, and then
some of the Scandinavians and a few of
the Germans, who affect German script
and get off some very bold figures with the
pen. The Americans are, that goes with
out saying. the plainest and most distinct
writer's. But even among them there are
a good many who affect such peculiarities
of handwriting as puzzle US not a little.
Especially what's called the fbackhanded'
ones-it may look pretty enough, but the
characters all run into each other and
make the effect of blurring the whole. 1t
takes study to decipher this style of writ
Ing, and you often ave to twist the let
ter and turn it sideways and upside down
TO get any sense of it. "-Chicago Herald.

The Aqueduct Investigation Committee nads
another interesting discovery yesterday. John
Brunton, the contractor testified with great re
luctance that his firm had paid 1000 to Richard
J. MORRISON, now Public Administrator and for
merly private secretary to ex-Mayor Grace. The
firms ledger was produced and Delaney Nicoll
learned by it that the money had been paid in
various sums between April, 1886, and June, 1887.
and that the exact amount was s12,53s o.
Brunton & Co. secured the contract on Febru-
ary l3, 1886, he said, through the influence Of
Mayor Grace Brunton professed to be en-
tirely ignorant Of the reason why the money was
paid to MORRISON. He said that even the firms
lournal which he was ordered to bring with him
to-day, would not disclose it. But the Senate
Committee is determined to find out
W. L. Mullers evidence resembled ex-Mayor
Grace's in the multitude of its denias. He was
especially emphatic in denying that he had ever
assumed to be Governor Hills representative IN his
dealings with Mr.. Squire or anybody else. He
contradicted the testimony Of all the witnesses
who had said anything which reflected upon him,
and he explained that the famous notes Of Gov
ernor Hill had been made for general campaign
purposes, and signed by Mr.. Hill to oblige the
Democratic State Committee. When Mr.. O'Bren
handed in the money for the $4,000 note the
witness did not know and did not ask the source
from which 1t came.
Ex-Mayor Grace was again examined, but Mr..
Nicoll didn't succeed in entangling him in any
snares Mr.. Grace is poor hand at making
speech, but he can talk well on the witness stand.
