THE DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT,
From the New York Herald, Dem


We reprint elsewhere this morning an
editorial from the Herald of November
IS, 1887. The gentlemen who shortly
afterward took control of the Democratic
party then thought our caution the evi-
dence of contemplate pusillanimity.
Well, the battle has been fought, and
no doubt the Democratic generals will
now spend year or two in explaining
so boastfully commanded victory. In
that they will only follow the example of
the Blaine men after 1884.
The Democrats were beaten mainly be-
cause they understook in Presidential
year to spring question on the people
about which they had avoided instruct
ing the people in the previous years.
That was to drill their recruits in the
face of the enemy. 1t was this against
which the Herald took the liberty to
warn them year ago, and for this kind
ly warning we got only curses and I'M
pertinent rebuke.
1t is fact testified to by several ac-
curate observers that i'm the interior of
this State wherever Democratic speak
er was competent to meet the arguments
and sOphistries of the Republicans the
people were with the Democrats but
that in the greater number of cases, as
one of our best reporters said on his re-
turn from a careful examination of the
canvass, "the Republican speakers were
always well trained and knew what to
say. Their Democratic opponents in the
country districts were Oftenest put on
the defensive and did not know how to
argue the question or meet the Republi-
can attacks. Where this was the case
the voters naturally went with the most
adroit speaker" But that was the case
only because the party generals chose to
spring question.on the people of which
they had kept them ignorant.
We say this blunder was the main
cause of the Democratic defeat; but
there were other causes. Mr.. Cleveland
has been an honest and sincerely patriot
ic President; that much even the decent
part of his opponents will grant when
the election fever is over. But he has
alienated public favor in several ways :
First-He retained in his cabinet as his
attorney general man (Mr. Garland)
whom everybody saw to be no LAWYER.
and who, besides this, was smirched
with most malodOrous speculation
which made him unfit to hold any public
Office.
SecOnd-In like manner he persisted in
retaining in his cabinet Mr.. Bayard. the
most incompetent and the most una
merican secretary of state this country
has ever been cursed with.
Third-He kept as his secretary of the
interior far too long Mr.. Lamar, a man
not merely incompetent, but whose SYM

said: I'm our old country there are Ger
