HIT THEM AGAIN.
Broad Gin on the Face OF the Demo
cratic Party.


While our Republican friends are
coming to blows over dispute as to
whether Blaine means it or whether
he does not mean it. and while they
are in an agonized frame of mind as
to what shall be done with the hundred
applicants who are rushing to the
front on the news of his withdrawal, a
sort of serene and smiling satisfaction
spreads itself over the countenance of
the Democratic party. Beginning
retreat" they say. ''ln panic at
this early stage of the contest, and des-
peralely striving to rearrange their
line of battle under fire." 'The vic.
tory is already practically won."
These suggestions, these expressions
of careful opinion, certainly seem justi-
fed by the situation. But overcon-
fidence is always dangerous in great
struggle. When the First Napoleon
sent word to Paris that Wellington
was "beginning retreat" he did not
know OF the default of Grouchy-hc
did not foresee the arrival of Butcher.
While there is present cause to smile,
we must guard all the passes, lest
there be future cause to weep. The
Republican managers die hard. They
are down now. We must keep them
down. Under the NJ. Q. rules the
round does not end with. knock
down. Hit them again as they get up,
and before they can gather.
The prospects of the National DEM
ocratic party never looked brighter
than now. Such differences of opinion
as exist among it do not GO to the mer-
its of the November contest. All will
be united then. 1t is but natural that
there should be many aspirants for,
and many views concerning, the Pres
idential nomination, when there is
taken into account the almost GER
tainty of Democratic success. But,
though we may quarrel in the choice
of delegates, and contest in the con-
vention, yet there is everywhere conf
dence that good choice will be made,
and that the nominee will poll not only
the solid party vote, but the great
bulk of independent voters of this
great country.

ably certain of also carrying New
York. New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana, which will give us nearly a
score more of electoral votes than are
needed But the present prospect is
that California, Colorado, Nevada, and
even Illinois and Michigan, may be
added to the victorious Democratic
list. Nor is Ohio herself to be consid-
cred as outside of the doubtful column.

announced his utilization with the DEM

years discontinued with my party associations;

Republican party: dissatisfied more especially
with what seemed it's inevitable tendency,

utterly disguised. And it only needed the NOM

press itself. II I am acting with the Demo-

That is the way it strikes many

willing for time to subordinate their
principles SO far as economical ques-

desire to check the growth of the in
stitution of slavery. After the aboli-
ton of slavery they no longer had
any thing in common with the Re-

that party to monopoly, its reckless
and wasteful administration of the
National finances, it's neglect to re-
lieve the people of unnecessary and
oppressive taxes, its gifts of vast areas
of the public domain to speculative
corporations, its theft of the Presi.

to oppose the reduction of the wal

John Sherman'S Character.

Senator Sherman has not the ele-
ments of popularity that would make
him strong candidate if nominated
nor the active sympathy with the COM
mon people that would make him a
good President if elected. We have
always thought Mr.. Sherman to be the
type of a sordid, selfish. avaricious pol
itician, actively identified with the
money power of Wall street. and with
out an atom of genuine feeling for the
poor or even for the people of moder-
ate means. We have opposed his nomi-
nation to the Presidency on these
grounds, because we have realized that
his cold and calculating character is
estimated at its true value by the peo-
pie of the United States, and therefore
that he would be about the weakest
candidate that the Republican party
could propose for the popular suffrage.
