fact that there was no city engineer, and

taken up and acted upon separately. lie

. DEMOCRATS WILL BE DEMOCRATS.

1t is not Il good general who neglects
to find the position of the enemy But if
the enemy has no position. as the Democ-
racy has none this year. ignorance OF it
is hardly fault. That party is at pres
cnt only lot of factions, each occupying
more or less Rnrposely position Of its
own-New York Tribune
The Tribune should recall also that
one of the worst faults of general is
TO underestimate the strength Of the
enemy. If the Tribune or any other
in,agines that the Democracy has no
position, that it will not take dear
and unequivocal stand upon the prob
lens that confront the American people
when the time comes for it to take its
stand authoritatively, then the Tribune
is Il poor student of politics and Of his

OBJECTIONS from the party have not been
such as to give those who participant. I'd
