AGAIN The Republican earthouake
that occurred last week seems so for
reaching that it almost swallowed nm
the last vestige of the Democratic
party 1t was significant victory.
Inc great Importance of which means
the utter rout and overthrow of tho
democracy in the next national cleo.
ton' The people have put the crucial
test to Democracy for three long yeara
ana Its inability to conduct the affairs
OF our country has been manifested ON
every side. Cleveland 8 administration
mas oeen so corrupt and so rotten. and
MS mismanagement has brought the
nation SO completely on the verge of
rum that his party will be SO badly
disrupted that it will disband and ioin
the Third party after the next national
contest. With every branch of tbe
government IN control of Democracy,
its management has cost the people in
the depreciation Of stocks. bonds and
zeal estate, much more than the whole
expense of the late civil war. II is
time that our intelligent and patriotic
voters should begin to amend the
wrong. We need to be mora fnlIu
Amercanized. We can obtain this nv
inaugurating a clean and wholesome
republican ADMINISTRATION in 1897. Cleve-
land has been the tool of Wall Street
and the bank of England SO long that
ne mas about robbed America of her
liberty and boasted prestige. This ia
one time since the war that American
institutions have suffered through its
representatives in the councils of our
nation, but before the calendar of the
new year closes a way will be paved
for President of different political
party. 1t will be one who will carrv
out the principles and policies of n
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and a
Blaine. Then the vampires who have
oeen at Washington sucking the life
blood from the people will scatter like
leaves before a cyclone. "A free bal
lot and fair count" is all that ia
needed. A brief battle of ballots will
beat shot and shell, because that ia
sufficient to bury old Grover and his
rotten party, so far beneath the debris
OF corruption AMI unpatriotic devices
that he nor his party could never rise
again. The spells system, which has
been the principal characteristic of
Cleveland's administrator l1as been

seffisn gains, rather than tS conduct ii
on broad and wise plane of states
manship. This election was triumph
OF an honest and patriotic people. It
was singing rebuke, and a Just one.
and did not come near quick enough.
Ihls is not only evidences of change.
but evidences that there will be no
more solid South.
In State politics the Democrats over
here are like flock of sheep without II
shepherd. They have looked the field
over and can't find what they regard
as available timber for Governor. They
are dlsorganized and in no condition
to correl their forces for contest.
Occasionally Bob Taylor and Benton
Mcmillan are mentioned, but there are
various objections to them both. Mr..
Mcmillan has lost his influence in the
Fourth Congressional District until he
can not be nominated and elected as
Congressman, and for this reason there
are plenty of Democrats who would
Just as soon see him defeated as any
other Democrat. X.
