IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY

An excellent way for voters to decide
for which party they will cast their bal
lots on the eighth of November, says the
New York Press, is to contrast the his
tory of the two great parties. The mo-
ment any one begins TO do this he is
struck by a curious fact, namely, that
whereas the Republicans invite the fullest
scrutiny into their party's history from
the beginning until now, Democrats al
waysgo back more than fifty years before
they seem to be able 20 find anything at
which to point with pride. We hear from
them n great deal in this campaign about
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.
1t is cighty-thrce years since Jefferson
ceased to be President. 1t is fifty.
FIVE years since Jackson ceased to be
President. Does anybody ever hear from
n Democratic stump speaker or read in a
Democratic organ about n President
elected by that party from Jackson to
Cleveland?
The list is n considerable one. 1t in
cludes Van Buren,, Polk, Pierce and Blu
chanan. to which they are welcome to
add the three renegades whom they
did not elect but did seduce-Tyler. Fill
more and Johnson. As for Grover Cleve.
land. he was elected once and nominated
three times, not because the real lead
ers Of the party chose him, but be
cause it was thought he might win witt
the help OF those political nondescript:
for whom the genuine head of the party
Senator Hill, has'so often and so lately
expressed in public speech his hatred anc
contempt.
Now look at the Republican music,
roll 1t contains these names Lincoln
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Har
rison. 1t begins with the beginning
and reaches to this present hour, Ofno
one name on that list is the party
ashamed. For not one law enacted o.
policy pursued by the Republican party
in all the years of its history is there TIN
slightest need of apology. The story o
a nations deliverance from the curse o
human bondage, victory over rebellion
emergence from crushing debt, attain
ment of unexampled prosperity, advance
to place in the front rank among thu
powers of the earth, growth beyont
parallel, glory undimmed by any stain
is the story Of Republican administra
tons and Republican supremacy in thu
legislative halls Of the Republic.
Judged by the standards of achieve
ment, seen in the light Of onward pro
grcss, weighed in the balance Of truth
