Democratic principles and the success of
the party's candidates at the polls is one of
the most notable political events of the
day. The suspicious beginning in this di-
rection, which was made by the congress
OF club representatives from various States
held here Saturday, is a general subject of
comment among both Republicans and

people of this country. All is harmonious
and the expressions of the delegates present
argue that the Democracy is ready for a
noble and unseltish fight for principle"
John q. Jenkins, of the Juneau club of
milwaukee,, one of the pioneers, is deeply
gratiied with the prelimnarics. The
national organization will be of incalcu-
liable benefit, especially in the Northwest.
In Wisconsin we are prepared to make a

Josiah Quincy of Boston said: "a ma.
