But the Grand Old Party of the
United States is the Democratic
party, that fights us vigorously in
opposition as when in power, that
maintained its integrity throughout
the rude trial of civil war, and that
is To-day more distinctly than ever
the party of Jefferson, Jackson,
Marcy, Wright and TiIden. Defeat
does not discourage it. Its future
will surpass its past, and, with the
continuance of the admirable dispo-
sition generally exhibited by its
members to-day, it will certainly
overcome, during the next four
years, the fractional percentages
by which the Republicans have
carried the doubtful and decisive
States.
However wisely Republican adj
ministration may be managed,
Democratic principles are right,
and will prevail with the people.
Let us be ready to take advantage
of such mistakes as our opponents
may make. But let us rely upon
the strength of our cause to win the
favorable verdict of the country at
the next Presidential electiop.-N.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gaz-
cite, which, before the election,
berated the South and insisted that
it was q constant menace to the
peace and quiet of the Republic,
and that the people of the North
should distrust and despise that
section and give it no voice in pub
lie affairs, now advocates the policy
of making up with our Southern
brethern. Was there ever more
open confession of sectional paFti-
sanship? 1t is an admission that
there was no reason to distrust and
abuse the South, that the sectional
antipathy and hate was in the
hearts of the Gazette-Foraker
gang-that it was. played for effect
and when the oleetion is over
these ranting loyalists were ready
to make peace with the Southern
States They call upon their fol-
lowers to throw aside the very pre-
judice they have labored to- create
and assure them that it is only nec-
essary to treat the South with de-
cency and consideration to secure
to the whole country the blessings
of peace and fraternal fellowship.
The policy now urged by the Com
mercial Gazette is a confession that
the South has been quiet and anna.
BILE, and that the Earring notes OF
sectional strife c2ffe from its follow
ers5 under the lead of such Hotspurs
as Foraker. Sectionalism was
evoked for the basest of party pur-
poses.

1t is estimated that It cost the
country $500, 100000 for a Presi-
dental election. These figures are
astounding and. must start the peo-
pie to thinking. This immense sum
is raised by various means, either
by assessment or by voluntary con-
tribution. At all events it comes
out of the pockets of the people.
We have always thought that the
Presidential term was too short and
should be extended to at least six
years with ineligibility to success
ion. Should an amendment to the
constitution be proposed we believe
It would pass the House and would
lie generally accepted by the Legis-
latures of.the States. The business
OF the country suffers terribly dur
ing a Presidential campaign and
this fact alone is a sufficient argu-
IN ut to show that the term of office
is too short and should be extended.
Let it be extended to six years.
