for tho purpose OF degrading the standard OF
Monetary vnlnos. and thus OF diminishing debts
for tho benefit of debtors. II addition, thatsame
marty declared its intention TO impose, II pos
sible the inouisitorial and unequal income tax
upon accumulated wealth, which had been pro-
nounccd unconstitutional by tho United states
Supreme Court. TO deprive invested capltni OF
the protection from violence now secured to IL
by law, and TO compel the managers OF railroads
TO submit to II compulsory arbitration oil their
disputes with their employees. Against these
mischievous designs the Republican party Ior'
mally arrayod itself and its victory in the cleo
ton has temporarily prevented their being put
into execution.
The service which the Republican party thus
rendered the country in 1896 1t will be called
upon TO render in 1898. when n new House or
Representatives ia to DO elected by tho people,
and thirty new Senators chosen by State Legis-
latures and again in 1900, when a new Presi'
dent of the United States. as well as another
new House of Representatives and thirty moro
Senators are to be chosen. The party 1t over
came in 1896 by a popular vote OF 100000
against $500, 900. rightly refuses to accept
that result as decisive. 1t is still defiant and
aggressive. and though its leaders in this Sec
ton of the country prudcntly refrain from re-
affirming it's principles as distinctly as they
were affirmed in 1896. they have not renowned
them. and are prepared to act upon them at the
nrst favorable opportunity.
The Republican success Of 1896 was not won
by Republicans alone. 1t was largely duo to
citizens who had previously voted as Demo-
Gratis, but who, under tho stress Of the danger
which threatened society, forsook their ancient
marty affiliations and, for this occasion. entered
into new ones. A few Of their brethren un.
visely refused to initiate their example, and

upon a candidate who represented substantially
Republican principles. though not bearing the
Republican name. They spared themselves the
sacrifice Of their prejudices, withoutin the least
contributing to the result they desired to &C
complish. As every sensible man perceived,
tho contest lay between the Republicans and
the Democrats. and whoever failed to vote for
one or the other failed to exercise the full power
which tho ballot gave him.
Three weeks from tomorrow an election will
DO held In this State. in which though neither
Presidential electors nor members OF Congress
arc to BIO voted for. the newly created city Of
Greater New York is to choose for the first time
its Mayor and other officers, the several coun.
ties are to elect their county officials, and men,
bers Of the State Assembly are to be chosen
throughout tho State. In this election the Re.
publican party presents its regular candidates.,
the Democratic party does the same, but in this
city the Republican party is opposed by q new
organization which has declared war upon 1t,
