What makes the Watertown Demo
Gratis take the recent defeat of their party
more to heart than any other Democrats
in the land? 1t might be assumed from
appearances that they had had more at
stake on the result and that their pros
pective losses would be greater than those
of their brethren elsewhere; but we know
this is not the case. They should not
show themselves 50 lacking OF nerve and
sand under moderate sized discourage
ruents as they exhibit. The Democrats
here cannot expect to have the earth all
the time, and they must be satisfied tor
some years to come with controlling that
portion embraced within New JERSEY,
Watertown and the adjacent country as
illustrated on that transparency carried
in the Milwaukee procession. Unlike the
Democrats in othes places orr Democrats
fought shy of helping the Republicans
celebrate their great victory, and on the
contrary seemed to belitte the Qualification
in different ways, instead of giving it
their support and assisting to make good
show for the sake of the town. Now, Mil
waukee Democrats are as live and en-
thusiastic as any IN the country and
many of them entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion when the Republic
ans had their celebration last week. No
one can bring forward any sound reason
o show why what is good enough for the
Milwaukee Democrat cannot be good
enough for his Watertown brother. At
Whitewater ii was our good fortune to
witness the Republican celebration there
last Thursday evening. and among the
gratifying features of the occasion was
the good feeling exhibited by the Demo
Gratis over the event Among the finest
iluminations in the city were those CT
Democratic residents, notably the hand
some home of Mr.. Salisbury, one of the
proprietors Of The Register, whose stead
fast adherence to the principles OF the
Den. ocratic party compares with that
of any Democrat in this city Dem
ocra;s marched in the procession,
and in other ways aided to render
the celebration success and credit to
Whitewater. And why should they not
have done SO? Is not the president-elect
to be their president for the coming four
years and why feel resenttuland nnpleas-
ant TO those who elected him In doing
so they only exercised the common rights
as citizens of this great country, that is
large enough and broad enough to hold
both Democrats and Republicans and the
few Prohibitionists In political con-
hict both sides can't win and while the
victors should not be Extensively exultant
the vapquished might as well submit
gracefully and proceed to set their dis
rupted house in order for The next con-
test.
