The Foremost Position.

When 1.-THE Philadelphia Record under
took nineteen wears ago to demonstrate
that the best of morning newspapers could
be made and sold for one cent, publishers
were generally skeptical. But the world
of readers was not asleep. Consequently
THE Record" was not long in reaching a
commanding position, and. improving up
on this, its circulation and influence were
Americas great journals. Hence the COM
pliment of imitation which is now paid to
It in every city of note from the Atlantic
coast to the Mississippi Valley. Every city
worth mentioning now has one or more
good one-cent morning dailies, though so
recently as only 10 years ago Philadelphia
and 1.-The Record" stood alone in this
respect.

Tho true story OF the Excelsior League
as told In the lntclliscncer's news col
umns is decidedly Interesting. Tho
Democrat who IS Initiated is sworn not
to tell OF the existence OF the order. and
he IS bound up by oath to take his party
ticket straight.
This is hard lines for Democrats this
year, There Is n rump ticket In the field
sailing under Democratic colors. but II
10 not the ticket OF the Democratic party.
This offers n good opportunity to Excel
slor LeaEucrs TO pack up aud Setout, and
for the future TO keep out OF organlEa-
lions OF that kind.
When n political party feels that It
needs 10 swear It's members to stand by
It, and that all this must be done In the
secrecy OF the lodge room, that party
opens Itself TO the suspicion OF being
afraid OF Its shadow.
Moreover, q political party that feels
the need OF an adjunct such ns the Tx
cclsIor League, IS deeply conscious OF It's
weakness md should make haste to get
out Of business.
Alive party that looks hopefully to the
future does not need any ghOst-wHlks to
hold II together.
