THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY

MIR. Sidney Webster, interviewed by the
Paris correspondent OF The New York
Herald, as to the possible outcome of the
Presidential canvass, expressed himself
very hopeful OF the reelection OF Cleve-
land, whose administration he heartily
indorses. Mr.. Webster also Endorsed the
Democratic party, and yet a moment after
expressed the wish that
One might see Mt home nm American party
which will fearlessy vindicate individual
freedom in trade In everything else-frccdon
even to make cider-an American party that will
tolerate no notifications OF freedom where de-
manded by class Interests but on such modifca-
tions as are demanded by popular and really
American Interests; an American party that will
make every presumption In favor OF freedom, and
will treat each abrdgement OF such freedom as
everywhere and always subject TO challenge and
on trial for It's life.
Mr.. Webster expressed this wish toward
the close OF the interview and must have
been in hurry. A moments reflection
would have convinced him that the Demo-

Republican opposition, to do all that he
desires, and has been busy al it ever since
the close of the war, when the South re-
turned to the Union to find it a close cor
poraton, managed for the benefit of GER
tain New York and other Eastern bankers
and for tho monopolies that recently cstab-
lishcd trusts and combines. Bit by bit,
| step by stop, the Democratic party has
gained upon these combinations, and we
feel safe in predicting that before another
four years has rolled round it will not only
have the Presidency and the House of
Representatives, but the Senate. Then it
will he able to enter upon the career OF
remedial legislation that awaits it and pro-
coed to the complete and ample fuliillment
Of Mr. Websters wish.
