Eondon, BY Cable.-There is as yet
no news of naval battle in the far
East or Of the whereab bouts Of the ri
val fleets. The Hong Kong correspon-
dent Of the Daily Mail sends a rumor
of small engagement, but there is no
confirmation of this report. Details
regarding the Russian ships in Kan
ranh Bay, Cochin China, are too mea-
gre to be instructive. According to the
Daily Mails Singapore correspondent,
the North German Lloyd steamer
Prinz Heinrich saw five battleships and
six cruisers in the bay, but dispatches
to others of the London morning news
papers are not so precise.

SOME ELEMENTS IN RECENT
POLITICS.

We meet after defeat which was
easy to foresee and predicted. 1t was
preceded by division and faction in our
ranks over a period Of eight years and
they have done their worst. 1t was
emphacized by the use Of governmental
power for partisan purposes, by the
reckless and unprecedented expendi-
ture Of money and by demagogic ap-
peals to interests as wide apart as the
poles. We have left to us only the
smallest measure Of power in either
house of Congress; we have lost
States whose confidence we had long

OPINIONS OF TWO LEADERS

commanded, anu the uuutocT VI GOYef-
nors and State legislatures under our
control is surprisingly small.
We may, however, recall that this is
not the first time that the party has
been in what seemed to be a hopeless
minority. 1t was so from 1860 to 1867
when a great wrong which has been
.far-reaching in its effects upon morals
and justice, left it in a minority for
another eight years. But when its con-
dition was least encouraging, it was
still the same consistent advocate of
patriotic and manly policies as when
It was in the full plentitude of power
during the first sixty yesrs of the last
c ltury. Rallying about it's natural
lea6ers-as courageous and patriotic
as any known to our political history
it was then, as always, its virtue: to be
national party. These leaders kept
themselves in touch with every Ques-
ton Of current interest in every ham,
let of the Union. Nothing American
was alien to them.
POWER OF THE PARTY AS A
MINORITY.
During the Civil War more than 5O0,-
900 Democrats stood on each side Of
the firing lines Of the two great ar
mics which faced each other, all believ-
ing themselves right. On the morrow
of Appomattox, they, the victors and
the vanquished, had scattered to their
respective homes, all bent upon pro-
noting peace, all understanding each
other in their trials, all facing the
same great problems. In the foulest Of
all days in our national life those Of
so-called Observation-Disclosures soldiers
largely recruited from other peaceful.
patriotic men in the North>were found
voting together.
During this period there came to the
front in our national councils the great
historic figures of Thurman, Hendricks,
Bayard, Seymour, Hancock, Mcclellan
and Tilden. In, the face Of prejudices
and opposition, which might we'll have
daunted the bravest, these men were
able to combat and to overcome that
sectional policy which at one time al
most dominated the whole country.
When, in spite Of aggressions, fairly
divided between the misuse of military
power, and deliberate, studied corrup-
ton of the suffrage, these men had
been successful, they were reinforced
by Lamar, George, Hampton, Hill,
Vance, Morgan, Vest and many other
strong and patriotic men from the
South.
Added to these leaders, who, in the
field of national politics, so nobly unit
ed to combat human passion at It's
worst estate, were hundreds of thous-
ands OF sturdy men in the North, who,
as Governors, members Of State Leg
islatures, commit Of every
grade, and private citizens, carried the
