the reunion of the democratic party is
due to the same causes that have
brought division into the republican
ranks
Country Ready to Resist.
"The country has moved forward
toward a positive and aggressive re-
sistance to the encroachments of pre-
datory wealth and this growth has
brought the rear ranks of the demo-
cratic party up to the firing line, while
it has separated the republican re-
formers from the republican stand
patters. The fight for supremacy in
the republican party is a bitter one,
and whichever side wins the other
side will be disgruntled. AS the re-
publicans used one action of the. DEM
ocratic party to defeat us in 1896, we
shall return the compliment and use
one part of the republican party to de-
feat the other, for it is so hopelessly
| divided it cannot be trusted to do any
thing at present"
| Hope In Moral Awakening.
'The third cause for hope is to be
found in the moral awakening. Never
