Of truth in it:
There are not enough Democrats in
this country Of fixed allegiance to the
party to ever elect a president. Nor
mally, the division of the strength OF
the two great parties is so nearly equal
that whichever secures the great inde-
pendent vote will win the election. This
was not true in 1868. when the passions
Of the civil war had not yet SubSided
nor in 1872, when the Democratic par
ty could not be rallied to the support
of Mr.. Greeley, but it has been true as
to every election since. and will be in
CrcaSingly true since the independent
vote, north and south, is an increasing
quantity. This is a hard fact which
both parties have to reckon with. The
candidate who can command this vote
will win hereafter as he has heretofore
and the party which does not propose
to pay heed to this element of the cleo
torate had as well put up the shutters
and go into voluntary bankruptcy.
Grover Cleveland was elected by the
independent vote, and as the Observer
says. that vote has elected all Other
presidents since the war. except Grant
Both the Democratic and the Republi-
can parties are powerful; but neither is

questionable allegiance of a majority
