reminder to the masses Of the Democracy that
the Democratic party was defeated Mt the last
Presidential election should suflcc TO teach
them wholesome lesson. and incline them to
learn such wisdom from the bitter experience
OF that vanQuishment as will lead them to
select at the coming Chicago Convention
standard bearer who. beyond question. will
lead the party to victory. In looking over the
list Of candidates. and noting the signs OF the
times. one man lie seen to stand prominently
forth as Napoleon in politics. yet. unlike the
great General. in that-when his name was
submitted to the people Of the foremost state
in the Union for their suffrages-he has never
suffered defeat He has been referred TO In q
snoring way by some OF the Mugwump prigs
who have been foremost in trying to crento
opposition to him. and BY the getters up OF the
meeting at the Cooper Institute for that pur-
pose. as O successful politician. 1t Is con-
coded BY these carpers that the object OF their
venom is great politician" n name often
msapplied to men unworthy to boar IT. for n
great politician implies. in tho fullest sense. a
great statesman.

men Of a higher intellectual standard such as
we're Disraeli, Tilden. and to such men as

cratic party to many decisive victories in this
State and has driven tho Republicans from
their last citadel Of strength. whose name Is
upon tho lips OF the masses OF the Democracy.
