The Political Prospect

A month hence the Presidential caii-
paign will be formally opened ny Tue
unanimous denomination ri Mi. We
yeland by the Democratic National
Convention.
The result, which the World declar-
ed to be inevitable on the morning al
ter the Democratic victory i'll his State
last November, and now become not
only the logic of the situation but de
sjrable as "A matter of principle lie
issue in the campaign is to he Iarlii
Reform, and it is natural that the rep
resentative of the Democratic Policy
who boldly forced the issue should lie
the standard bearer of his party.
1t is we'll that the issue Is thus
sharply drawn. Presidential elections
should turn upon principles rather thah
upon son contest Of ideas Rather
than "a scramble for spoils. FortweiVe
years the Democratic party has been
promising to revise and reduce the wal
tariff. 1t will present to the people
as its candidate tor President "A man
who has endeayored to secure IA fulfill
ment of that promise. The question
ought to be decided. If high duties
are to he perpetuated regardless
of the resultant surplus, let us Know
| that. If the duties are to be cut down
to a peace basis and the free list eX-
| tended, as ought to be done, let that
be down. Anything is better than
uncertainty. Principles are primary,
| candidates are secondary. The Demo-
cratic party has the pluck OF lis prlhci
| pies, and the Republicans the courage
of their obstinacy. Let the people
choose between them.
The result of the election Will de-
pend upon the four States OF New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut ami
Indiana. Four years ago all these
| States were carried by the Democrats.
| Last fall all OF them, except New
York, were carried bythe ltepuhl caiis
The contest, III a nutshell, therefore IS
to recover these doubtful States that
are essential to Democratic success, and
| to hold New York. In 1884 all these
doubtful States were carried by the
Democrats in the face of the lingering
doubt of timid business mel as to the
trustworthiness OF that party. That
three of these States were lost after
three years demonstration of the
groundlessness of these fears shows
that the task before the Democratic
leaders is not without difficulty and
danger.
With the issue thus presented some
Republicans will be tempted to vote
for the Democratic idea, and no doubt
All appeal will be made to Protection
ist Democrats to support the Republi-
can candidate. 1t will thus be All i'm
porsant, instructive and exciting cam
paign, with the issue by no means Ger
