REPUBLICAN REVIVAL
THE @. o. p. ENTERING ON n
NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY.
Indications Which Promise to Give the
Party Another Long Lease of Power
The Senate bribery Investig ation-Dis-



There are indications that the Re-
publican party is abolt to experience
great revival AMI enter on a new era
of political prosperity, says the Indian
apolis Journal. In a republic IN gov
eminent it is inevitable that political
parties should have their ups AMI
downs. The people, though level
headed in the main, are whimsical and
they sometimes follow after strange
gods for while just for the sake of
finding their way back. They never
get very ia FIR IN the right path.
During the last decade they have been
experimenting with the Democratic
party, appar emily with view of seeing
if it was possible to get any good out
OF it. The party begge1 SO hard to lie
given trial and made such unlim ted
promi es of good behavior that the
people, "for a change" conclu led to
try it. The result has bee i so disma ly
disastrous that eJ are NV tumb ing
over one another tJ ct into the right
Path.
There has never been q time in the
history Of the country when the inti-
cations wore so cleac in the second
year Of an administration OF the com
pete dissolution of the party in power
as the present 1t is not ne ely the
ordinary apathy of an off year or the
trans eut disaffection that always fol-
lows new deal in the Offices. These
are expected and discounted. The
p esent condition is very different.
Instead of a mild apathy and partial
disaffection there is deep disgust n d
complete decentralization. The Demo
cratic party is not threatened with dis
ruption; it is already disruL ted. 1t is
not in danger of being stampeded: it is
already pan.c-stricken 1t is not drift
ing On the rocks; it is alge Idy wrecked.
1t wi be miracle if il pulls itself to-
gether sufficiently TO stand up in the
next election ard be knocked down.
The measure o. the popular disgust
with the ID smocratic party IS a fairly
approximate measurement OF tie ex-
tent Of the Republi an evival An un-
broken record OF ep lblican victories
in all the elections OF the last year,
State, distr ct I'D munici al, SHOWS
how irresistibly popular sentimelt is
running the Republican way. PRO
gressivlsts and con e., atist', pr e,-
sional men and business men, capital
lists a d wtr6ingmen, old vot rs and
young oaes, u | seem to have reached
the common conclusion thai thu olly
hope of good government lies in tho
Republic IN IA ty. Espe ia ly are the
y ing me raj ying under the Repub-
lican standard. The un-AmeriCan and
unpat ,iot'c policy of the Democratic
arty, its hostility to American
interests at homo AMI abroad,
seems TO have made deep
impression on the minds Of the young
men of the country. Woi kingmen
who have been votin { the Democratic
ticket are coming into the Republican
party by thousands. The con rast be-
tween the prosperity they enjoyed O.
fore the Democratic party came into
power and the terrible depression and
uncertainty that now Iryvail has been
a powerful oh ;ect les on to all VINO de-
pend upon their daily labor for their
da IL breal. 50 has the cont q be
tween the promises AMI the perform
ances CT the Democracy. As con e.
Guence the workingmel are leaving
the Democracy in ovc', and a large
majority OF them are joining the he
publ can ranks. The net re u OF
lhes, y ariou5 influences is an unmis-
Ia cable Republican revival which
promises to gi.e tie party another
lease OF power.
