In few months it is expected that the
Salvation Army will have an organized

Delegates for this mission are being
selected in all parts of the United States

PROSPECT OF THE DEMOCRATS
Promise of Brilliant Successes In tho Com
ing Campaign,

Promise of Brilliant Successes In h Com
ing Campaign
Everything is looking better and
brighter for the democracy, and its
chances OF retaining control OF the af-
fairs of the country are undoubtedly
growing every day. OF course, the
most prominent factor in this improve
ment of condition is the return of bust
ness prosperity, the apparent assurance
of its continuance and the universal
recognition Of the fact that this is due
almost wholly to the eradication OF
bad republican laws from the statutes
and TO the wise and btneticent legis-
lation OF the Fifty-third congress, con-
trolled in both branches by the demo-
cratic party for the first time in al
most forty years, The utter failure OF
the weak Strong administration in
New York city, emphasized by the biz
ter differences that divide the repub-
lean party in the Empire state, makes
q great democratic victory in that state
this fall n certainty, The only ques-
ton about it is the matter of the size
of the majority, and when New York
city is confidently claimed by upwards
of seventy-iive thousand for the dem
ocratic ticket it will be seen that the
majority in the state may rise to a
very high figure.
The reckless partisanship which was
projected into tho New York constitu-
tionai convention, and which sought to
render permanent the most outrageous
gerrymander that has yet been at
tempted anywhere by unfolding it In
the organic law of the state, has
aroused great dissatisfaction among
those fair-minded members Of the re-
so often evidenced their independence
and integrity, so that this outrageous
piece of p~artisanship will recoil vio-
lently upon is authors. 1t Is not alone
In New York that the situation looks
hopeful. The serious divisions in Ohio
and the great dissatisfaction prevalent
against the republican legislature in
Illinois, nc less than the great inter-
necine conflict now going on between
Sir Matthew of the Mailed Hand, and
the far-famed hog combine in Pennsyl.
vania, give rise to much confidence Of
defeat in all those states.
Off years are always productive Of
surprises, and it is n curious fact that
the party that has met revcrses in the
fall elections preceding presidential
campaigns has for many years proved
a sure winner in the ensuing contest.
Traversing only the last dozen years
will demonstrate this conclusively. In
1883 New York and Ohio went heavily
democratic. Then came Cleveland's
election. All the doubtful states
went republican in the fall of 1887 ex-
cepting New York, and in that state
occurred the great democratic split re-
upon Henry Georges cam
which rendered democratic
prospects discouraging. Then came
llarrison's victory. In the fall Of 1891
as will be well remembered New York,
Massachusetts and Iowa went demo
clearing the way for the great
that returned President Cleve-
land to the white house.

democratic prospects this year ana the
promise of democratic success this fall

THEIR OWN MEDICINE,
Republicans Trying to Dodge Their Own
Arguments.

h'phpiichhs frying 10 Dodge Their Own,
Arguments.
The republican papers resisted the
improvement in business as long as
they were able. They were unwilling
to admit that improvement wa taking
place. They made themselves ridicu-
lous by calamity bowls even after their
news columns announced the unmis-
taxable Improvement in business. Now
that they deem it inexpcdient longer
to deny the fact, they insist that the
democratic party is not entitled to n
credit for it.
The new attitude is as untenable and
inconsistent as the old one. Repub-
leans have always maintained that
whatever happened under republican
rule was due to republican rule, al.
ways provided it was favorable. They
have insisted that whatever occurs
under a democratic administration is
due to the acts of that administra-
ton, provided always it is in the
nature of disaster. But these two
positions cannot be held together.
They are absurd. If the repub-
leans are entitled to credit for
prosperity when they are in
SO are the democrats under similar CON
ditions. They hello the democrats re-
sponsible for a paYic which began and
ran much of its co arse before the dem.
ocrats had legislated at all, This was.
OF course, altogether unjust and un-
reasonable. But after the party had
perfected all the legislation that it was
able to perfect, republican papers and
politicians said the laws passed, cs-
pecially the tariff bill, would ruin the
country. They admit that the tariff
bill cannot be changed for two wears.
but still they insist that it has had
nothing to do with the return of pros
perity. In saying this, they ignore or
repadiate the arguments which thew
have been urging for twenty years.
Acute observers know very we'll tina
we were near a panic in February last.
and that the action of the administra-
ton averted it. This action was de-
nounced by republicans at the time.
but business interests have been on the
upgrade ever since. For this the
democratic administration is entitled
to the whole credit. To deny it is to
cast reflection on ones own intelli-
gence.-Louisville Courier-Iournal.
