TnE Keokuk Constitution Democrat

The keokuk Constitution Democrat
voices common sense in this observation
No party can obtain any substantial
success in this country which is based on
'isms' alone. This has been the hisLOrv
of parties in America. 1t will be true of
the new party formed in Cincinnati.
There are two great political parties
which will control the destinies OF the
United States, the democratic and re-
publican organ ,tiOns. There will be
no chance for another party until one of
these dies which is not all likely to occur
very soon. There is not enough in any
''isms" to produce sufficient cohesion in
the widely diverse political fads of the
elements of the new pIrty. The on
way TO secure real reform is to work for
1t through the only medium of reform
the democratic party, which battles for
it all the time.

General j. G. MARITIME, in the following

the merchants dealing in crockery, stoves and
glassware to sign an agreement TO close their
respective places OF business at 6 p. NJ. except

much dissatisfaction has been heard from

wares as the above merchants.
Now, as II friend OF the early closing move

join with me In this rlatter-I would regret
very much to see this most worthy movement
broken up; but it would seem that the only
remedy now is for the Executive COMMITTEES

who thinks from to p. VI. is long enough
for one to work-to at once interview these
