Democratic ,li,adr.n,ur..

II cannot be denied that in the long
history OF the Democratic party there Is
much that Is comm-ndahIe. but since
1860 II has been party OF adventure and
OF blunderz. What the history OF the
country would have been II the Demo
cratic party had held together in 1850
cannot be said. but certainly the country
would not have ben involved In cIyn
war the next year.
By the split OF the Democracy in lsso
the Republican party went into power
and got hold that was not weakened
until quarter OF century has passed.
Meanwhile the Democratic Organization
reached so low a point as to see It's only
hope In the nomination OF lifelong op-
ponent
Horace Greeley had been a whlg and
a Republican. an abolitionIst and an
agitating abriitIonist. He had never
been able to zee any good in the Dem
Octa;ic party. and tina: party had seen In
has a reflex OF the evil one. It seemed
n insane freak for the Democratic
party to make Horace Greeley Its Pres
idential nominee, and 50 II proved TO be.
There was nothing l~Sfcal or appropd-
ate about It. and real Democrats turned
from the ticket in disgust.
That was a grotesGue adventure which
seemed TO have disrupted the DEMOCRAT
ic Organization. But the party picked
up again and elected Mr.. Cleveland
twice. Now II seems TO be gone again.
Mr. Cleveland Is no longer q factor. Once
his party's Idol. he IS now e1ecrated by
large number OF Democrats. His ad-
vice Is scoffed al. New men have got
hold OF the organization and filled 1t
with th- peculiar political vagsHes
which give TO PopulIsm ItE distinguish
ing characteristics.
