the door, and opening it, he found

called to the men to surrender, but
instead they made hasty retreat,
leaving a monkey wrench and a col

PARALLELS IN THE CoUNTRY'S HISTORY FOR
THEIR AID OF AGUINALDO

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Veteran political observers will remember
how, In 1854 the dying embers OF the late Con-
federacy were kept alive by the hope that Me-
Clelan would be elected President and Southern
independence established. The annals of the Con-
federacy show that Mr. Davis and his Cabinet made
their last strenuous effort in the summer OF 1864
with the intent TO aid and inspire the Northern
Democracy in its effort defeat Mr. Iincoln's re-
election. History is but repeating itself in Asui-
nado's efforts TO aid and assist this same Democ-
racy I'm the faraway Philippines is refreshing 70
contemplate that MT Davis and Aguinaldo both
regarded the Democratic party their ally and
expected to be benefited by its triumph the polls
Be II said to the credit OF General Mcclellan that
proper regard for the amenities OF life kept him
within the bounds OF propriety, and read
where that he went to the extent that Mr.. Bryan
goes In giving aid and comfort to those who are
defyng the National authority It is manifest that
as Mr. Davis hoped to profit by Democratic sue
cess in 1864 so AgunaldOs only hope rests upon
Mr. organs success In November.
The American people rallied to the support OF
Mr. Lincoln and saved the Unioa and 81 is safe
TO that they WILL with equal unanimity see
