"The Republican party has been
compelled, by irresistible pressure of
public opinion, to accept the trust is
sue" says the Big Rapids Herald, a
Democratic journal, to which we re-
mark, that instead of the party being
compelled to do so, it has always been
a leader in educating sentiment up to
a point whereby it can deal with the
question intelligently. The party is
always abreast of public sentiment on
all important issues and fully compe-
tent to solve intricate problems. His
tory shows the reverse to be true of
the Democratic party.
