nominations was sound and forcef,il. It
has raised the ferYor and enthusiasm Of
Democrats all over the country to high
pitch. All the Democratic leaders are In
line, and the next to follow viii be Samuel
J. Randall. United action, no chickering's,
no factional elements, is the thing IL a sue
cessfu result is desired. No Democart
will henceforth be so wild or foolish as to
read any tried leader out of the party. The
cry rather, is come and help, or we will
sink. It is willy enemy that confronts
the Democracy, and as 'eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty" so vigilance and
action needs be the Democratic watchword
from now until November
Poor, unhappy Germany The loss of
"Unser Fritz is great blow TO his people.
Seldom, IL eyer, did man wear the crown
who was so faverably and so nobly disposed
toward the masses. He was that type Of a
ruler whose untimely death causes uniyer-
sal and sincere regret. He had great and
broad sympathles for his people. Born to
the purple, yet he was glorious exception
to those thus born. Unfortunately for the
| German people his successor, King Wm.
| IL, is of different mould. He is an un-
worthy son of a noble and heroic sire. He
possesses the traits and characteristics of
| the tyrant and despot - naughty, uncivil
and british. As the peace of Germany un-
der Frederick was assured, so it is now en-
DANCED by this worshipper of military des-
potism and tyranny, King William.
The evening Herald under the manage
ment of Herbert Given and Levy is bright
and newsy paper. 1t is bound to be sue
cess because it deserves 70 succeed. It is
the one straightout, ,slmon-pure Democratic
newspaper in Philadelphia. As such II de-
serves the cordial, moral and financial sup
port of n united Democracy. 1t is fully up
to the required standard of the party it
represents. 1t is ably edited and breaches
nothing but that which is cardinal to the
cause of good government as expressed by
the Democracy. The staff of the Herald
is composed of bright, fertile writers and
progressive newspaper men. Amongst
these is our old Democratic friend George
D. Herbert, for q long time editor of the
Harrisburg Patriot. He is writer of force
and possesses an adaptability for newspaper
work equal to the best. Democrats, sub
scribe for the Herald.
