l think the step taken by the Democrats
must inevitably result in forcing the Re-
publlcans to organize. 1t cannot be pre-
vented as long as the Democrats stand firm,
and they have burned their bridges; there

many Democrats among the Gentlesl" the
doctor said: "a great many men came
here to suck the public teat, and for that
