THE OVERSHADOWIN ISSUE.

In accepting the handsome silver ser
vice presented to him by the Democrats
of Maryland in recognition of his valued
service in defeating the Force bill-(he
was the Democratic leader upon that
measure) Senator GoRMAN gave express
sion to a sentiment which will find q
hearty response in the hearts of all pa
triotic citizens Referring to the defeat
of the Force bill in the Senate, he said:
81 warn you, that the issue made by
the Force bill has not ceased to exist.
The President and the greater ma orlty
of Republican Senators and Representa-
tives urged its adoption and still approve
its principles. The judgment of the
country upon the issue thus made will
be again appealed to. But as the people
of the several States are still free to Sc
lect their own representatives, l have no
doubt of the triumph of the principles of
the Democratic party.
1.-The success of the Democratic party
will make sectional contests hereafter
impossible; a result overshadowiDg In
Importance all other political considera-
tions, and without which it is idle to
talk OF the future prosperity and great
ness of our common country.
There is undoubted wisdom in Mr.
GORMAN'S remarks. The issues that will
confront us in 1892 will be founded up
on the same notion of controlling and
humiliating the South and of giving
special privilege to the ''patrons" of the
Republican party. The dethronem mt
Of sectionalism can only be brought
about through the success of the Demo
cratic party, and to its full and complete
control of government every effort
ought to be directed. There is no
hope for reform in our financial
policy or reduction of the tariff, which
is great part of the financial policy of
the country. except in the complete de-
feat of the Republican party. Its over
throw is essential to any reform worthy
of the name. Those who oppose its
fayortism and class legislation cannot
afford to divide as to measures until
their common enemy is vanquished.
