Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1892-08-19

Yesterday We warned tho Alliance lead
ers and the Third-party men of every
name and DESCRIPTION that if they un-
dertook TO set up for themselves this
year. or before their numbers would JUS
tify them in such a course, they would
dig their own political graves and be
buried out OF the sight Of men forever.
For
First There is no possibility of the sue
cess of any third party this year. The
presidential election will take place less
three months hence, aud consequently the
outcome OF the various Third-party move
ments can now be safely predicted. These
boilers may possibly carry State or two,
though We do not expect them to carry a
single one. but their chances of success
Will not grow in number between now and
the Sth of November. IL they were 10
carry States enough to throw the election
of President of the United States into the
House of Representatives Mr.. CLEVELAND
would still be elected President and they
would still have no strength that would
not be lost to them forever during his adj
ministration. Indeed, as we have init
mated. they are already losing strength.
Their future is so plainly depicted upon
the national black board that they ought
10 be able to read it without the assistance
Of the general public.
Second. as nothing succeeds like success
so nothing is so discouraglng as defeat.
The DUoAID DALcEITYs. who are ready to
fight in any cause or on either side, will
not turn up next year on the side of any
third party which may suffer disaster this
year. We repeat that the KDow-Nothing:
once threatened to sweep the Union, but
failing 10 do so in 1856, were never afford
ed another opportunity to rise. The people
cannot be fed long upon promises
There is nothing good in the creed of any
third party which cannot be incorporated
into the creed of the Democratic party.
On the other hand. the Democratic party
cannot afford TO add to its national plat
form single plank which is not OF such
solid timber that II will be able to with
stand the assaults Of all enemies OF that
grand national organization. Think OF
the vitality of that wonderful party which
when the war had ended but few years
could only count upon seven Democratic
United States senators. but which by 1875
had regained control of the House of Re-
personalities, and in 1876 elected Mr.. TIL
DIN President of the United States. Oh
no. the Democratic party is based upon
the rock of Truth. and the Third party
which engages in combat with it will soon
find itself the worse for the encounter,
The combat will surely prove to be NOR
tai one. but not TO the Democratic party
We submit these facts and this forecast tC
the consideration of our readers of every
party and faction. but particularly &c
those who now flatter themselves that
theirs Is a powerful organization. W.
warn all such that they will, within few
months, find themselves without the pale
of any and all parties They will be los
sheep. The time 10 take your place
amongst those who follow the shepherd il
now. The future does not seem to have
anything good in store for men who STRAY
away after false gods. The Democratic
party, on the contrsry--the party of JEF
FYRsoS and JAcKsoN-will never lose IL
vitality. Adverse winds cannot harm It
"The frmer he roots him the ruder II
blows" But il is only penny-whistle
that now disturb the air, and so we viii
