The political situation of the Demo
cratic party is such that its future can
hardly be regarded with complacency
by the few remaining faithful followers
of the Democratic president Mr. Cleve
land. We notice with interest that the
two great leaders in this state, Senator
Hill and Editor Dana, have not been
overcome by the late storm, but are al
ready prepared to gather their scattered
forces, an easy task considering their
paucity, and join strength with the
chieftain in the White House. The bu-
gle call will fild the three hand in hand
at the head of their little band Of straS-
slers, seeking some secluded spot where
the councils of the brave over the pipe
of peace, we trust, may arrive at some
conclusion as 80 where they are at.
The mutual admiration of Editor Da-
ma for Senator Hill and of Senator Hill
for Editor Dana is worldwidely known.
They would promptly overrule any dis
turbing element that might be intro.
duced into their councils by Chief Cleve-
land, the chosen of their party. The po-
sition of The Sun i'll national politics
has been that of leader. Where lt has
led to it il not for US to say. We leave
that rather for the consideration of its
followers who have studied the recent
election returns in this and III other
states.
