DEMoCEACY's CHANCE INpRov-
ING.

The Washington Post warns the
Republican PARTY that its biunder
may u its defeat. After reciting
many items that are more favorable
to the Democrats now than IN 1896, 1t
continues as follows:
ION the other hand, what strength
has the Republican party gained To
offset this weakness by the Democ-
racy: Very little, we fear. The
splendid and successful conduct OF
the war with Spain has been badly
clouded by the scandals Of misEIan-
agement and favoritisui, which at
tended that glorious cOnsumnIation.
The courSe OF the administration
with reference to Cuba md the Phil
aHG poteut .rIruus. The strCagS t1vi-
icy adopted toward Porto Rico has
outraged practically the entire coun.
try. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty has
still further impaired MIR. Mckmley's
prestige, and the rumored purpose Of
the President to compel its ratitica-
ton will, il it should be realized, not
only discredit the government, but
bring contempt and odium upon the
party. In a word, the situation US il.
seems 10 US, is far nor favUra' lc To-
Mr.. Bryan and far less so to Mr.. Nc.
Kinley than than 1t was four years
ago.
-What will happen within the next
six months, il is not for US to proph-
esy. We deal with the facts as they
are at this moment. In our opinion,
the Republican party has lost ground
TO an alarming extent within the past
three months. Its best friends and

to explain the betrayal % our national
integrity involved in the Hay-PauBce-
