THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

With the beginning of the He" year the political outlook is very en- couragiug to the people and alI IoH, CTS of good government. Political parties are necessary to government hence it i- the duty of every man to study political matters, and to ally himself with that party which will best promote the interests of the whole people,
 For the past thirty years there has been two great political parties in this country, the Democratic and Republican, opposing each other. It is unnecessary to go into detail as to the difference between the two; first named has stood the best test, that of time. having existed since the forma- ton of the government, for equal rights to all, special privileges to none, and for a pHre and economI- cal administration latter has always been q sectional party fay1ring the manufacturing classes, trusts, mo- nopolst~, railroad corporations, and an extravagaut administration of the government.
 The Republican party was brought into existence by epposers of sIav- cry, and in 1860 came into power and has ever since either had com plete or partial control of the govern ment. Sectional hate and the money of the plutocracy tt has fostered has kept it in power. Democracy has been battling against it continually, and for fifteen years it has so nearly compassed its defeat in several eIec-
 tions. that it's power was curtalled and strength -hJru. In 1876 De- moeraev elected Iilden as President, but the plutocracy gave the office to Hayes. thus robbing the people and setting at naught their will. But In 1884, when Democracy elected Cleveland they failed to again per petratc such an outrage, but the ke- publicans having hal majority m the Senate thereby prevented any legislation relieving the people of the many rohber class laws preyi- iously put upon them. In lS8S the dirty work of Republican pIutocrats in Indiana and New York, where Dudley and Qusy manipulated vot- CTS "iu blocks of five" is known to all, and they have since boastcd of the victory they have won in this manner.
 We have thus briefly reviewed the past, that we may jntcIligeulIy speak of the present and future. As stated in beginning future outlook Is bright for the future and Democracy. Al though it will take time and much labor to undo the bad laws of the billion dollar Congress of Reed and Mckinley, let we confidently expect it's accomplishment This party of equal rights now has latgo major'. tv in the lower Haa~eof Congress, and has also been making galas in the Senate, aud ucNt November will . elect majority ol the senate, as well as of the House and lhc Prc.i- . dent. Two months since Democracy . won grand victory winning four . out of five Goyrraor~ in State clcc- tions. including Nev York. Iowa and . Massachusetts. ~Ncv York i. now securely Democratic for years to come, because the Democratic Leg ! islaturc of that State will undo the unholy Republican gerymaudcr This will make a Democratic victory easi- . er-not counting the hitherto Kcpuh- . lican State3 of Wisconsin, Iowa, Massachusetts and Illinois, which have shown by recent elections that some, if not all of them, may be re- . lied on as Democratic States Yes, the outlook j, indeed bright, and we . are proud 70 conscientousB record the tact-lt doos our heart and soul good Soon the people will be un- shackIed and relief h,d The Nc Kinley robbcr tariff viil be cut down to a revenue basis. the infamous Na- tionaI banks forever suothered, a larger money volume put in circu'a, lion, silver put on aparity with gold and all uajust class laws repealed. !
 In the great political hattle for freedom from unjust oppression, this . fall, the South and West will domi- nate and control the issues. These
