The pemocrntin rar,r

1T the reign of Grover. the First. continues for three years longer. tbere will be no democratic party i'm the United States. Cleveland and Gresham are obstructiouists. They have proven themselves to be with out rivals in the role of pulling down and destroying the great party of 1892. The elections this mouth in the states that choose variou offices m their respective states, show that the people ara dissatisfied with the trend of the democratic party. al- though it has not yet been at the helm a year
 The President called an extra ses- sion of Congress, ostensibly for the purpose of giving the country an idea of the power and glory of the great democratic party.
 But, upon the meeting of Con gress' he only object of the call as outlined by the message, was to re- peal the silver purchase clause of the Sherman law. It was simply strainlng at gnat to swallow a camel. lt took the great unwashed three months to repeal that one clause of the act. If the party do no better at the regular session, commencing on the ith prox.. t will probably get through four acts, pro ylded they continue in session the whole year. The people are hope ful that the party will do no better in the regular than they did in the call session. The less 1t does, the better for the country.
 But, If party ever was rebuked, the democratic party has been. in the state elections in the fall of 1898 and fl no untoward event intervenes between this and the fall elections of lSSi. the next Congress will be republican, and democratic congress men will be as scarce in the House as they were in 1862 or 1864 The election of Mckinley over Neal is thrust at free trade, as was the de- feat of Nallandigham for governor m 1882, as the champion of rebellion of the southern oligarchs. The peo- pie of the various states in lsg3, NARAN EtAltA 9A EANNAA0hr AAfN aMftfk held, show that they have no faith m democratic ideas of government, and whenever, in the magnitude Of their strength and power, they be come lukewarm, aud suffer the dem ocratlc party Co gain control of the government, they become alarmed, and at the first opportunity show their condemnation of that party. and as soon as possible reinstate the l party that has shown itself to toe 1 the true and steadfast friend of the l people.
 l do not claim that the repub ican | party IS immaculate. On the s lyer | question it stands no better than the democratic party, but on ali other questions of governmental policy, the country feels safer iu the hands of the republicans than ia hands of the democrats. The re- publican party has shown itself equal 10 every emergency, when the country seemed almost in the throes of dissolution, and has not yet lost its energy and power. It has only been sleeping, trusting in its inher- snt power, and thus in 1892, while he giant slept in famed security, he enemy of good government ob- .ained control, and when the men of he country saw the situation, and hat IL was the rcsult of their apathy. they arose in their might. II the first opportunity, and gave uch evidence of their distrust to 1 he democratic party and it's policy, Is has not been witnessed since war ines.
 As party, the democratic is no ! 'etter now than 1t was under Presi- I lent Buchanan. It was then in the lands of the southern oligarchv. rho thought slavery was the acme # human benevolence, to everybody ut themselyes-the slave masters. The South Is again in power, and as rue to their old theories of super )rity, as when the owners of slaves. . he old haven of superiority to the ludsills Of the North, is as ripe as l former times. Cleveland, without q moving 1t, Is as much the puppet [ the South as was Buchanan. But ! etter times are coming. The dawn | roke on the 7th inst. in all the ates whose elections have been cid. Even New Jersey has swung O ito the republican column, and Old lrginla gave signs of better days.
