SINCE 1892 the Democratic party has
lost I'D electoral votes, more than l,l00,-
600 in popular piuralities, II Senators, 70
Representatives, and 10 Governors. Since
/ 1888 it has lost six States and gained only
one-a net loss os AZ electors. 1t has been
defeated in every Eastern, Middle and
Western State, in three of the Southern
States and in all the Northwestern and
Pacific Slope States, except the mining
camps of Colorado, Idaho, Montana and
Nevada. The sonnd money Democrats
attribute the demoralized condition of the
party to the party policies, while the free
silver Republicans and Populists lay the
cause of defeat to the weakness Of the
Democratic organization. Both are right.
Free silver has been the chief cause of the
defeat of the Democratic arty in two
successive campaigns, and no party or
ganization is strong enough to triumph
before the American people while advo-
eating the free coinage of silver at l6 to l,
or at any other ratio.

Victory Is Assured.

In spite of the many wild claims of the
insurgents, Colonel Qury continues to
receive assurances of the support OF
many of the newly elected Legislators,
and fresh recruits are being added to his
list every day. Several members elect
who were not deemed friendly towards
him have written him cordial letters,
promising to stand by him and uphold
the stalwart principle of Republicanism
in the State. 1t is clear that Colonel
Quay himself harbors no doubt as to the
result. Indeed, it is stated on excellent
authority that he has received promises
enough to make good his predictions of
November S, that he would receive i5O
votes ON the first ballot. Before the leg
islature convenes, it is announced that
Mr.. Quay and his friends will carry the
war into Africa, by making three more
appearances on the stump. They will
deliver post election speeches at WASH
ingion in Washington county. Towanda
in Bradford county, and Somerset in
Somerset county. These are places
where the insurgents have been the most
active and Colonel Quay wishes to place
himself fairly and squarely before the
people of these three districts. None Of
the members elect from these counties
have been at any time claimed as the
supporters of Mr.. Quay, but they are be-
lieved to be ameuiable to reason and
should be willing 20 acquiesce in any
Thing that will advance the interests of
the Republican party.-DeITick.

Dear Sir; 1t is your business to know
what materials to put into house as well
as 10 plan it. OF course, you know the
effect of zinc on lead in paint-toughens
it. Do you also know the greater effect
of zinc ground in?
For painter can't grind he can only
mix, Devoe lead and zinc is thoroughly
ground in oil. The result is an intimate
mixture.
Your painter can only mix; he can't
grind there's no need Of grinding by
hand. He should buy lead and zinc
ground together in OIL
Devoe lead and zinc is that; the pro-
portions are right besides. 1t outlasts
lead and oil two to one, and costs no
more-even less; for hand can't
compete with inachine-work.
Yours truly,

A FAMILIAR, TIMELY TRUTH.-
The tumult over glory and land
grabbing and minding other peo-
ple,s business is deafening and
thought-numbing. But it cannot
destroy in the mind of the average
man the power of this familiar
thought:
The happiness of a nation is the
comfort, the welfare and the con-
tentment of its common people !;
not the enrichment of the few, nor
the increase in naval and military
power, nor the pomp and spendor
of the Government, but the mod
est and assured prosperity Of the
average man, the security of his
personal and political rights, and
the purity and elevation of his
family life and of the social con-
ditions of those dependent on him.
