laundering Into Defeat.

TWAS General Grant who said that the
Democracy could alwa avs be trusted to do
one thing, and that was to save the conn.,
try from Democratic misrule by blander-
ing itself out of power. That party is very
busy just now fulfilling his prediction. AT
Washington it has detied all intelligent
public opinion by trying TO cripple the
navy. and it has in particular struck q sui
cldal blow at its prospects, of carrying New
York By indOrsing the fraudulent claim OF
Rockwell to n seat in the House. when the
election of NOyes was SO evident that six
out of nine Democratic members of the
House elections committee voted against
the steal. At Albany it has given the
statute book and pen to the saloon inter-
est and let il write a new liquor law. which
practically does away with all restrictions;
and 1t has reduced the number of election
inspectors in this city. where elections
have for years been remarkably honest.
for no other purpose whatever than to
make them less honest. The Democracy Is
still the bourbon party. 1t neither learns
nor fOrgets.
