1t is being made plain to thinking peo-
pie that revolution is in progress in this
country, and the principles OF the repub-
lie are being rapidly overturned by the
agency of the republican party as now
led, or rather mised, and that this agency
is acknowledged and relied upon in Eng
land will readily be seen by any person
who will procure the London (England)
National Review for October and read
the article therein under the heading
"rhe Month in America" Every demo-
crat, every Lincoln republican. and all
lovers Of and believers in our country
should read the article, urging an ALI
ance with England, and urging it now
while the republicans are in power, for,
as it says
at will be easier for England to reach
a satisfactory settlement with the present
administration, and during the next few
months, than 1t will be possibly some
months later, or with democratic adj
ministration."
Is it not too bad that the democrats
will not be false to the country? The
writer OF the article, who is in Washing
ton, d. c., says further:
1.-The attitude OF the republicans we
know; the attitude of the democrats is
being very clearly ioreshadowed. In two
important western states, Iowa and Ohio,
the democrats have held conventions to
nominate candidates for state offices, and
have adopted platforms in which they
display that hostile sentiment against
England which has almost always been
the cardinal test OF democracy. In Ohio
the platform denounces the secret and
vicious alliance now in evidence between
England and the republican administra-
ton, whereby this nation may become
involved in war with foreign nations In
Iowa this extraordinary language is used !:
'We condemn the war against the Fill
pinos, believing it to have been inspired
by Great Britain for the purpose Of pro.
ducing conditions that will force an An
glo- American alliance, and we not only
protest against the war and demand its
termination by extension to the Filipnos
OF the same assurance given to the Gu.
bans; but we record oul deap.seated an
tayonism to an alliance with Great Britain
OF any other European power, and eX-
press our detestation Of the attempt made
in British interests to disrupt the friendly
relations which have uniformly existed
between the United States and Ger
many
"Not long ago Congressman Bailey, OF
Texas, who at one time aspired to the
democratic nomination for the speaker
ship OF the house OF representatives, made
this public declaration: i am fully per-
suaded that the national administration
has entered into full and complete
agreement for an alliance between Great
Britain and the United States. This al
lance, in my opinion, is to be both often
sive and defensive. l think the reason
it has not been published to the world is
that for political reasons the president il
afraid to do so.' Mr.. Bailey is cheap
sort OF individual, but he is y very typi-
cal democrat.
"In Boston General Patrick A. Collins.
who under Mr.. Cleveland's second adj
ministration was consul-general in Lon
don, addressing an Irish gathering, said
I'VE want no alliance, because it means
no profit, no gain. We require no ALI
ance with any European power. for II
means many troubles and quarrels; be-
sides, we have no reason for helping any
European country. Now or hereafter the
United States has no cause to mingle,
a. d we should stand aside and mind oul
own business. England planted her flag
in Ireland about seven hundred years
ago. 1t has been hauled down many
times, and sometime it will come down
forever. Any man with that blood in
his veins knows what an English alli'
ance MEANS
"Much greater importance attaches to
letter which appears in yesterdays pa
pers, written by Secretary Of State Hay
to the chairman Of the republican com
mittee Of Ohio. In this letter, brilliant
piece OF English composition by the way
Mr.. Hay says: There Is no alliance
with England nor with any power unde'
