Discipline Of the Two Parties.
Discipline has always been the
greatest aid to the Republican par
-ty, and moro than once befcre has
snatched victory for it from the
jaws Of defeat, just as it has now.
Much stress has frequently been
laid upon the adisciplines of the
Democratic party, but it fades into
nothing when compared with the
cohesiveness of the Republican par
". In 1860 the Democratic party
broke squarely in two because OF
the rival ambitions of its leaders,
and Abraham Lincoln, the first
Republican President, was elected
by the forms of law, although in a
minority of million on the popu-
lar vote. In 1872 the Democratic
party again broke completely in
two because of Horace Greeley's
nomination The relative @disci-
pline" of the two parties was then
most strongly exhibited. Men high
in Republican councils, men whose
name and fame were national and
international, attempted to organize
a revolt. But if they led more than
a corporal's guard from the Repub-
lican camp it was never apprecia-
bic. 1t would be interesting to
compare again the relative disci-
pline of the two parties in 1884, but
it is scarcely necessary to do so.
As for the Democratic party one
shining truth looms up, bright as
the sun. 1t is always stabbed in
the house of its friends. Whenever
it is wrecked it goes down through
the ambition, the selfishness or the
personal resentments of those who
should light its path to victory.
That it continues to be the great,
magnificent organization, that it
shows how deeply intrenched it is
in the popular heart. The man
who imagines it will not be as de-
termined and powerful a foe to its
great rival party in the future as in
the past does not read history or
comprehend logic.

Wetzel Democrat: The Republi-
can party is already blowing its fog
horn of promise. It means to re-
.vive in the South that strife of races
of which we have heard nothing
during the past four years. They
must pass laws to secure a "free
ballot and fair count in the rebel
States" If there is a spot of Gods
footstool where the Republican
party has complete control in which
such a thing as free ballot and
fair count exists, where is it? There
are towns in the north so hide
bound in their radicaIism that you
are not respected among the kid
glove gentry if you are Democrat.
The Southern outrage mill will
now begin to grind out its horrors,
stump orators will rant and hy-
enas in Congress will fairly yell
with rage. Shortly Southern in
dustries will begin to anguish.
The iron mills of Alabama must
not be permitted to sell cheaper
iron than the mills of Pennsylvania.
For where will the Doodle come
from in the next campaign? We
look for the hand on the dial to be
turned back twenty years if these
disturbers of the public peace are
to have their way

The question of adopting a con-
stitutional amendment, lengthening
the Presidential term of Office is
again being agitated.. It might be
an improvement to extend the term
of office and prohibiting reelection
to a second term, and then give the
President the power to veto individ-
ual items in appropriation bills.
However, there are two sides to the
question of extending the Presi-
dents term of Office, and perhaps
the illustrious trainers of our con
stitution had as clear heads on this
subject as our modern statesmen

to be painted a rooster standing erect,

victorious, then George was to bear

The Lessons Of the Late EIec
lf0Il.

1t is now in order for our breth-
ern of the press to write long winded
essays under the above head, which
no one viii read, much less hear.
'sThe lessons of the late election
are brief and easily summed up, as
follows:
The Democratic party must have
organization.
1t must maintain its organization.
1t must have unity of action.
1t must throw overheard all dis
organizers.
And. lastly, Democrats must stand
By and vote their ticket. The Dem
eerats defeated themselves in the
late election by performing the
chicken aet-"scratching," and
despatched themselves without re-
sewing a grain of corn in return.

when Grover Cleveland goes on

When Grover Cleveland goes out
OF Office the country will lose one of
the most courageous, honest, able
aud progressive presidents we have
ever had. He will have the salts
faction of knowing that he has done
his whole duty as he saw it The
country will be better by reason OF
Cieveland's administration and the
strides it will make can be traceable
to his suggestions in the matter of
legislation.

Several manufactures in the
East have closed down since elect
ion They gave their employees TO
understand they would suspend if
Cleveland should be elected. The
Inference is clear they were en-
barrassed before election, and used
their situation as threat to coerce
voters. They would have to shut
up in any event. They have neither
saved their credit nor their honor.

Nothing is required to insure the
success of the Democratic candi-
dates but that the issue should be
clearly understood. This is made
only to manifest by comparison of
the results in the manufacturing
centres with those in the agricul-
tural regions. In the former the
"tariff scare" appears to have had no
effect whatever upon the minds OF
intelligent operatives, for whose
alleged benefit a fraudulent and
delusive protection" is invoked,

societies in every part of the Com
monwealth, and, Notwithstanding
the large Republican majority in
the legislature, we may, even at this
late day, enforce partial execu-
ton of some of the Republican
pledges of the State campaign OF
1886. We commend to the Demo
cratic people of Pennsylvania the
declaration of our noble leader,
President Cleveland, that for the
propagation of our pure and i'm
mortal principle the Democratic
societies "are the most efficient
agencies ever devised"
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEES OPINION.
Nor do we think we can more
appropriately close this brief APP
peal to the Democracy to close up
their broken ranks and move for
ward again on the straight, bright
line of duty, to ultimate and com
plete victory, than with the follow
ing from the Democratic National
Committee:
"All Democratic committees and
committeeman are earnestly re-
quested to push the organization OF
permanent Democratic societies or
clubs within their respective iuris-
dictions. The Importance of such
an adjunct to the regular organize
ton cannot be over-estimated, and
the regular organization cannot be
too active and jealous in promoting
it. 1t should be remembered that
the Democratic societies" were the
first organizations of the party I'M
der Jefferson; that the election of
Jefferson in 1900, aud the ascend
ancy of the Democratic party for
so years was mainly the work of
these societies; and that the open,
popular club, in which men freely
discuss their rights and duties is
prominently Democratic exped-
lent, and is more needed at this
hour than ever before in the history
of the countryl"
