We Yow what they are. We know that he fs amilinr with the questions of the day and thoroughly qualifled, one way or the other, t& deal with them, That he will always tnke the view that you or 1 may take of those questions asthey arisegit would bo absurd to expect. ‘That he ean, aud prove ably will, take a rational and fnteltigent view of them, we are assured by his record. IIs was, therefure, 9 nomination Inevery respeet fitto be made, Sueh Is the record, and sucht the nominee, of the Adululstration party, ON TIE OTHER MAND, what hag the Opposition offered In the way of a record? What does ft offer in the way of candidate or promises? ‘By thelr works ye shajl know them! If tint [3.0 ood test In tnatlers spiritual, tt is equally.good in matters political The Dem veratle party has heen In opposition during the Inst four years, and they now ask tis lo put them in power. That is fair enough, Let us see, however, how successful they have been i opposition, and In what way we: woutd better ourselves by putting them in power, tas the Demoerntle party, eltticr during tho last four or tho Inst twenty years, been a sncecss In opposition? {tis generally supposed that It Is ‘TI! CHINE FUNCTION OF AN OPPOSITION. in all popular governments to educate the public mind up to something whieh it did not know before, and which, the party in power had failed to appreciate. Not to put it too strong, ns an eduentor the Democratic party has of lute not been a pronouyeed suc- cess. During the Inst four years dd it force an unwilling Government back to specie payments? No; it threw every obstacle it conld in the way of that result. Ins it clung to its traditions of hard money, free trade, and the total separation of the Gov- sernment from all interference with business matters? Far from it, The record shows, ON TI CONTRARY, that it has indulged in the wildest currency yagarics. It lings been for years In legislative power, and has not taken one step toward tariff revision, It has never once suggested aropeal of the Degal-T'ender net, What%ne good thing, then, hus it done during the Inst four years ? Asa party In opposition, has it proposed a reforin of the Civil Servico? Has itruthlesly cut down the absurd Jog-rolled appropriations for so-called Internal Improve- ments? Nas it snstalned the public credit by guaranteeing to us no stable currency? No. If makes no claim to any of these things. Sued: 1s its record on all administra- tive questions,—negative at best; 13 o rile, positively bad. If thare has Indeed been one single redeeming feature about It IT have failed to note it, and would bo rejoiced to have some one point It out. ‘Lhe Democracy entered upon thelr campaign with A VAGUE IDEA that, to Insttre success, It should be made what they were pleased to term’ nggressive.” ‘They forgot thattobesuecessively aggressive aparty, like an hidividual, must belleve In something. Unfortunately. thoy belteved: in nothing, They did not belleve in tariff re form. Least of all did they believe inasclen- tific Civil Service. So at lust their aggressive campaign awinded down Into a whining ery thatit was not falr to feel such distrust of thein, that they really meant no mischief, and that, If the country would only let them have the oflices, they would solemnly prom- iso not te change anything except tho oftice: holders. On the tarlif question, what does the Democratic party offer in its platform ? It dares to talk of n ‘taritf for revenue only? Did ft mean what §¢ suid? If so, hore fs a-promise of something. This is indeed good, as well as aggressive, Ido not care to go Into the Inter - UTTERANCES OF ITS CHOSEN LEADER in explanation of this phrase fu [ts deelara- tion of principles, He evidently does not know even-what a tariff is. In his helpless desire to say anything In regard to It whieh his trainers may dictate, he reminds ong of nothing so much ns poor ol Polontus in hts Tepiles to Hantlet, At first, "Tis tke a canel,’ and then, ‘It Is backed Hke a weasel,’ and, finally, itis * Very Nike a whale? Well, yes; It Is Very like a whale.’ But this is not free trade, It ls-hardly even a very re- mote approximation to that weak dilution known as * Revenue reform,’ and sueh is the kind of tarlit ‘change’ that Is promised us, SME, REPULLICANS, in the matter of a tariff, do at least know whatthey want. They ave a party of pro- tection. They will so appear as the result of this election, heaping duty upon duty and bounty on bounty, until the wretched ‘sys- tem of swapping jacknives breaks down under its own absurdities, “This L enn un- derstand, and through such a policy I can Bec sume OUtcoING for the future.

White falnt- hearted men have gone over to Hancock, or sold themeelves for a price, the View has not foronotnoment faltered. No stoate was taken in the populurity of Hancock.

Tho Nationals o€ tndiana know THE CHARACTER OF THOSE PLLLOWS who now invite fusion, Thoy know them to be treacherous and faithless to tho interests of labor and of tholr country, They know itis the inst desperate grasp for power; that defuat now retires these ten from the leadership, and dis- rupts the Demoerney.
