PLENTY OF VITALITY.

The Boston Globe has been look
ing over the political field, and the
following is the surmise of the situ-
alton as viewed by that far-seeing
journal:
THE Democratic party is display.
ing a wonderful vitality in this
campaign. United, it swept the
Republicans out of sight in the pre-
ceding presidential election, while
now, divided into two factions, it
seems to be equal to maintaining
both sides of the present cam
paign.
The silver wing has shown itself
able to swallow two important po-
litical parties, the Populists and
the free silver Republicans, while on
the other hand the gold wing sup
plies, in the reports of Secretary
Carlisle's speeches, the best litera-
ture the Republican party has at
its disposal; in Bourke Cochran's s
Madison square meeting it contrib
uted to the Republican campaign
its most notable demonstration
thus far, and finally, upon the di-
rect or indirect support of Demo-
Gratis rests the sole hope of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's election,
Moreover, history must record
that it was Mr.. Cleveland, a Demo
cratic president, who forced the
gold plank upon the Republican
party and compelled it to forego its
customary platform equivocations
on the currency question"
The Arkansas Democrat, which is
edited by goldbug, puts on his
glasses after copying the above
paragraphs and says:
"Six months ago the Democratic
party was so discouraged and so de-
moralized that nobody appeared to
want to lead the ticket. But by
the time the Chicago convention
assembled all that had changed.
1t began to appear that there was
not only a fighting chance to win,
but a bright prospect for victory.
And whatever may be the result,
one thing is certain, the vote of the
Democratic party this year will be
larger than ever known in its histo-
ry. The man who thinks the party
will be destroyed on account of
Differences is mistaken. Greater
differences and dissensions existed
in 1861"
