In the Right Position.

In the course of lengthy article in the
New York World on Blaine, Hon. ChAun-
cey F. Balck, Of Pennsylvania, introduces
the following remarks with respect to the
democracy:
But what, meanwhile, of the democracy.
In q word, it needs only to stand steadfest.
1t is sound and right upon every question Of
domestic politics 1t has won upon them
all, aud it is in the exact position upon them
t. win again. 1t has only to be advised Of
the desperate tactics which are to be en-
ployed to defeat the party of the people to
render them harmless. If the voters
of the United States shall be made
to see in advance that the cunning schemes
now in contemplation have been deliber-
ately devised to cheat and delude them into
renewing the lease of power TO the cruel
and corrupt monopoly party which is de-
vourlng their substapce those schemes will
prove OF even less value to their projectors
than Mr.. Blaine's anti-English performs
ances Of 1894. The mere existence Of such
a plot is a confession of fatal republican
weakness upon every Legitimate question
between the two parties. While these plaus
Of Mr. Blaine are intensely interest ting at the
moment-because they are the only plans
upon which his party can rely for any sort
of a contest in 1S92-it may be said in pass
ing that the democratic leaders see through
them with clear eyes; that due provision
will be made to meet them at every turn;
that the American electorate will be left in
no ignorance of their unpatriotio origin and
purpose, and that the Democratic party will
be better organized and more prudently
managed in the campaign of 1892 than ever
before.
Yes, the Democratic party occupies
splendid position for the contest in 1892. 1t
is position that cannot be successfully as
sailed, And the Democratic party will go
into power with such a majority as it has
| seldom received in its long history, unless a
considerable number Of its members should
be weak enough to allow themselves to be
drawn into the new party movement.
And when the Democratic party gets con-
troll of the legislative and executive
| branches of the government the people will
have no occasion for discomfort. The bur
| dens OF which they complain villa be light
| ened, and the obstacles to their prosperity
will be removed 1t is the duty, therefore,
| of every democrat to stand firmly by his
party and to do his utmost for its success.
Alliance farmers in Louisiana are re-
ported to have deliberately decided to oppose

ish aud with the similar action Of other
parishes, to support the third party move
ment. This is probably designed as a
menace to the democrats to bring
them into line for Alliance Presi-
dent Adams. who is an openly
avowed candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for governor of the state All of thi
ostenslble detection is probably part of
a shrewdly devised scheme of Mr.. Adams
to corral that nomination in spite Of all op-
position through the fear of republican
success that his manipulation of his follow.
ers has inspired. Instead of securing him
the nomination the use Of his official in
fiuence merely to further his own persona
ambition by such trickery should defeat
him ignominiously. Very likely it will

scheme In any event they will probably
stick to the Democratic party when it comes
to voting; for the majority of them are
said to be strongly opposed to any perma-

that has protected their interests so long.
