EVERY DAY.

With each succeeding day the hearts
of the Spaniards sink little lower.
Outgeneralled on land and sea; with
an empty treasury, and credit gone;
with dissensions among themselves
and suspicious of each other, their
starving hordes look helplessly to the
helpless government for succor.
Cevera is bottled up in Santiago;
Camara is in the middle of sthe ocean
without coal for his fleet; Blanco and
Pando are cornered, and a hopeless
struggle and ultimate surrender is all
there is in store for them. The coast
of Spain is unprotected and at this
time six of our most powerful fighting
machines are about starting for that
coast. Spain must yield, and speedily.
The present war will be a signal tri-
umph OF an intelligent, civilized peo-
pie, impelled by love Of justice, free
dom and right, over the brutal instinct
OF the slave-drivjng, Dragging, corrupt
and domineering ministry, and the
superstitious and blind reliance of an
illiteratc, ignorant and fanatical peo-
pie, who are 200 years behind the
times

The leaders of the democracy in the
county profess to be satisfied with the
political situation at the present time.
They say that while they may not
have any ticket in the field, they can
surely determine whether the popu-
list or the republican party shall con-
troll. They seem inclined at present
to favor the republican county ticket.
1t is also possible that a democratic
ticket will be put in the field later.
