DEMocRAcYs OPPORTUNITY.

from the by ways and hedges
comes the information that a people
weary of republican mis-rule are
turning their attention to the party of
Thomas Jefferson, for relief and ces.
sation. The operation of the new tar
1T LII has worked new and untold
hardshfps upon the people in order to
build mr. and make greater the wealth
Of the protected trust barons the 9a,1-I
ners and allies of the republican party.
The chance for the democratic party
TO again assume control Of the gov
eminent was never brighter than 1t
IS at this time and as ii will continue
TO be, so long as the opposition Is
headed by those men wao are now in
control Along these lines, the follow
ing IS taken from an addres deliver
ed by Senator Hughes, the democratic
United States senator from Colorado
and the sentiment therein expressed
ought to be gratifying to very democrat
in the nation and ought to urge them
to greater endeavor in the interest of
and for the good of the party.
1T looks as though the sun was 90
ing to rise again; that the party of
Jefferson is coming into its own, and
that right principles shall be applied
to the administration of this govern
ment, Eut taunting and derisive pre-
dictions of victory to the Republican
party may only serve to excite renew
ed vigor to the old union of those
who have not yet become used to get
ting away from the party and it's prin-
ciples altogether. | know there are
insurgencies, insurgents who fiercely
insurge and then cease their insurg-
ency. | know there are revolts in :
the Republican party, but we must
do something more than stand idly by !
and count upon the mistakes of par
ty that has amassed power and is
in all the arts of political war
and strategy, Remember, that these
very interests OF power and influence
which have been referred to have an
enormous stake in the Republican par
ty. and its success and if here and
there an Independent spirit breaks
cose from the tyranny in } which il
mas been held, they will find way
f powerful wealth and skill can &C
it, to succeed. nevertheless,

Of this republic, with its armour en-
'eady for the battle, to go into this

know, that we are told that t
here is hysteria in the air, and it II
would seem that the Republican
party for the first time in its life
las found that it has nerves and has
stayed over in the hysteria zone. Why,

and took it gladly by the hand, and i,
