 Whatever Col. Watterson has to sly
 regarding the election will be read
 with interest by every reader Of news

 In a recent issue of the Courier Journal, Col. WattersUn's paper pub Hshed at Louisville. Ky. the following comes from his pen:
 The New Dispensation
 Now that the election is over and the battle won. and that the shouting has had time to subside into a sign of satisfaction and relief. let the mind s eye of thoughtful democrats. dancing from heaven 10 earth. from earth to heaven, body forth to the less thought ful some of the giants and dragons which will presently rise across the party's line Of march 10 divide it's cOunsels and obstruct its progress.
 They may seem just now to unre- flectins and optimistic enthusiasm but airy nOthings, mere Pigments of over wrought, or Of preiudiced imagination. Yet are they real, and it will not re- quire the poets pen to give to each his form and presence: even to distin- guish each by a tag bearing a lOJaI habitation and a name History tells that after Bull run the victory disOr- ganized the Confederates almost as much as the defeat had demoraIized the Federals. Tn the long run. how ever. il was the union. not the Con fererdcy. which reaped the harvest. This lesson should not he lost upon democrats.

Woodrow Wilson is abler and far more highly equipped-much better qualified to make a really great democratic president-than was GrOy- sr Cleveland. But the obstacles which Cleveland had to meet and overcome were foothills by comparison with the mountains already rising across the highway that stretches out be- fore Wilson.

Cleveland's s easy reach, If he had known how to profit Ly them. were men of the first order Of intellect. men trained ra the r~SpOn- of government. men ed Ju he affirmatiOns of public policies, men who had sat in the high places Of egislation and administration. Mir. Wilson will have 10 rely for the most Iart upon discoveries and creations Of lis own, political amateurs new to or iciaI life: nOvitiates to practical and arge affairs. Barring few members ,f the House-a few SenatOrs-haying ,hiefly negative experience, he will at ,nce encounter in the lower branch Of Congress a top heavy majority. with possibly a divided leadership, and, in he upper. if support at all. yet too dose for comfort
 Public opinion is no where crystal ized It Is in a fluid state. The his OTic issues that erst divided parties passed from the scene, the problems ,f the future but arrived upon It, le who saddles and Eridles and sue ,essfully rides the monster without a lead called democracy. must be pos | ,essed of the gifts of the nation i makers of old and in addition be at ] ended by the good fortune which 1 ime cOmpels.
 The objections which were generally 1 ,ffered to Woodrow Wilson as a nom- l ness-that he was rather a schoolmas- CT than a statesman-if not tyrannous | nd intolerant, yet tactless-iucapable | f making common cause and working 1 he harness, and lacking high sense of I ,erson3l obligation-ass them ounded in fact-may. or may not. show themselves to be weaknesses in the lected president.
 Upon the threshold he will have ough work to do. It is safe to say the nrush of office-hunters will surpass nything ever known before. A gentle, indy. grateful man would find him elf submerged beneath the crossuT- ents of sentiment and duty. It win equire the most obdurate of masters. sed to the disciplinary and ungrac- lus. to resist the appeals. some of lem real. but most of them spurious mich will echo through the living Doms of the White House: which will ssail him during all his waking hours. nd pursue him in his sleep and reams: morning. noon and night nsv- r escape from the mean and sordid nd brazen in the rank ignominy of He who does not stand ke a statue of wrought iron. with no" constant upon bis lips.w ho does ot bare his 6osom to the storm. moving in advance what Of obloquy nd abuse betide. might easily break Is heart before the arrival Of a con- V
