The democratic papers that are kicking

well let up. Gresham has purged the
state department OF republicans, with two
or three exceptions. which is more than

been making a very thoroughly demo-

These landslides have another effect. In
knocking out old leaders they open up a
field in politics for new men. In other
words they put the under party on its
mettle, and in recognizing and starting
