There Is smoothing in the preseut political
stsOation here that hiss not been Pssented
IN every change Of party power during
the whole Of the prtSeut century. The
Democrats are demorallzed by defeat and
will recover and be in batter fighting trim
Tor future battles; the Republicans come
flushed With victory and are now SOLDERING
down baiO7e the gave responsibilities
which confront them. They are in the
same condition that Cleveland WAS In
when be cane into power. He had to act,
not pretend to Gct; and they must now
act and not offer shaGoNs for substance
They must now grspple with tbs tariff,
tax and revenue question, with the Demo
Gratis simply in opposition, rs the Repubh'
cans were during the last four years; and
the difference OF attitude and resronsiblli-
ty Is Just POW beaiOning to be realized By
the party leaders. Tee Republicans must
also grspple with the spoilsmen, just as
Cleveland did, for LEADERS, and followers
IN parties ara simply human and they
want the earth. They must also grspple
with Iens ons, now one Of the grayest issues
to he met. II IL now Q question with tht
yi%ctoriOus leaders whether they shsll iul

bankruptcy, or dissppoint persion dema

in 1856 the Republicans were a dis
cord4nt mars of political f~res-thinkeIs after
B~urhannau's election over FrsmOnt, and
but for the bred ScCtt decision ard the
KarSls Oatrsges, the new party might
never have won a national victory. When
Lincoln Was elected in 1860 the Democrats
were rent by both faction and section, bnt
they won half yhe Northern States at one
time or another during the war. Four
Years 800, when Cleveland was elected, 1t
was long q question whether tie Repnbli-
can party would aver be milne for another
successful national contest, aud now, with
Republican victory comes the Democratic
disqualification that always follows nation
al defeat in sll parties.

The Democrats do not mourn the defeat
of Cleveland IA the Wings mournsd the
defeat OF Clay, or az the great mass OF the
Republicans mOurned the defeat OF B'alne'
Clay was the idol Of the Whigs; Blame
was the idol Of the Republicans IN 1851
possessed the nest magnetic quail
ties and both failed 10 reach power and
strain political friendship as only power
can strain them. Cleveland is not a mag
pstic man. He is not loved by either the
ms iority Oftte party leaders by the masses.
He is profoundly respected by the better
elements Of all parties, alike for his eonr-
aye. his patriotism and his integrity, but
party leaders and active party followers
expect responsibilities OF Presidents and l
doubt whether another President will ever
be reelected in this county, unless IN case
OF war or some equally supreme necessity.
Indeed, saying that the defeat o! CleVe-
land does not kGenly wound the Demo-
cratic leaders in their affections, dos not
fairly state the case. No President was
ever so impliciily followed by both leaders
aud masses as was Cleveland, and 10 Pres
ident ever had so many reluctant and even
enforced supporters as Cleveland sirce the
re election OF Lincoln in 1864. But for the
o~yershadowing necessities OF wax Lincoln
would have been badly beaten for re-eltc'
too. a. he had a. few sincere friends in his
party then ~ Cleveland has among the
Democrats Now as then, the objection Is
not to C!eyslard's policy, for that is ae-
cep,ed ~ right; but they cherish indiifsr-
euce or hate toward Cleveland, as they did
toward LineClo, because be had his own
straightforward way Of having his own

tlon.
WASHINGTON, December 13-COlonsl
4. X. Mcclure, in his dispatch to the
Philadelphia Times, says: Both sides have
been able to recover their breath since
the Few national shake-up CT November
last. Ii is commcn these days for Wash
iugton correspondence to ssy that the Dem
coats are utterly demOralizsd by their de-
feat, and in absolute despair as to the fu-
tuve: but it is only tie same old, old story
that has been told since the defeat Of Adj
m by Jefferson in 1900. So bitter were
the PARTISAN asperities Of that time that the
yenersted patriot Of Quiucy and one OF the
authors Of the Declaration Of Independence
clsndestinely left the Executive Mansion
between midnight and morn to avoid well
coming Jefferson, his intensely hated rlyai,
and his party was hopClsSsly demoralizsd
by the defeat. The opposition to Jackson
was equally demoralizsd when John Qdin-
cy Adars was defeated in 1924, and the
defeat of the Democrats by the elder Hsr-
rison 10 1910 lett them apparently without
the hope OF regaiuiGg power. Dolly four
years later the Wings were plugged into
the depths OF despair by tie defeat OF Clay,
and four years thereafter the Democrats re-
garGci tSsRr organization as broken up by

EFFECTS OF THE BOND PURCHASES.


The offerings Of Government bonds TO tho
Treasury to-day amounted to s2,47s,s 0O prinoi-
rally As at 1877, or l-2 per cent higher than the
Secretary has yet paid. The amount accepted was
$4,000, all I-2s at 1o7 "a, making total pur
chsses to date $40, 64s,300. The general bond
market is feeling the effect Of these displace
ments Of permanent investments, although it is
not reflected in the transactions at the Stock Ex
change That class OF business has drften into largo
bankers Offices exactly formerly the business
in Government bonds did Some houses are selling
over their counters mose bends q day than the
total sales at the board; one nrm recently sold
over 81, 90, 0e0 bonds in single day. Sellers
Of Governments look fer first class railway bonds
but the selsrs Of them must look for lower class
OF security and SO it mast 20 on tih tHe tfHsA OF
the Stock Exchange feels the impetus OIL the
process of changing Investments
STOCKS MORE THAN. RECOVER
To-days stock market opened as it was expected
to open, with renewal VI besfiSh pressure
upon values Prices were depNssed sharply IN
the search for stop orders to sell; Some were
found, but il is not probable that the game eagsed
was worth the ammunition expended Inc bur-
lngtOn and Quincy episode WAS used TO us 1ullese
extent; the dividend is only l per cent and
Boston dispatch without particulars gives the loss

were marked OF lal 1-2 per cent for the general
list The later advances. which leave prices
materially higher than last evening, were attended
by dull movement and small transactions The
total sales Of the day five hours were 800 49,
OF which 22O,O 600 were in the first three hours
It was reported and probably is true that the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas fight is in for way
of settlement. II this be true, it removes one
Of the points which has been industrlously USED
against the market. although there was no reason
why it should have had any effect on the general
market. The loan market this morning reflected
largely increased short interest, and parucu-
licated that the bears had gone the length they
were 10 be permitted to 60, and that they wiz
be compelled tn pay sharp advances to recoup
their recent sales. The market closed quiet and
strong.
WHAT WAS DONE IN BONDS.
Government bonds were dull, with soles OF
