Probably not in the history ol' this country has there come to ono ol'our national parties such an overwhelm ing victory under such peculiar cir cumstances as lias rome to the Demo cratic parly in the recent elections. To thc party leaders is due much of j the crctllt for Ibo victory this year. The party leaders for once acted Wisely, fighting sternly, even in the National Convention, for tho men of their preference lighting with ve hemence, at times almost with venom; yet when these leaders found themselves defeated they acquiesced ill the action of the convention and made the party's light their light. Heretofore we have seen the staunch and stewart party - the voters ol' thc >?... 'ry-lost and standing in wonder and amazement because of the division among tho party loaders, making party success an impossibil ity through petty differences. Small wonder that the rank and tile were losing heart and beginning to cast about tor some other party with which to align themselves; the wonder is rather that the people so readily rallied to the old standards BO soon as there was evidence of sta bility and sanity among the leaders. And tho party may well take the lesson to heart, for upon the manner In which the principles of Democracy are curried out depends the future of the party, the permanency of its suc cess. Democracy is on trial. Long out of power, the whole country friend and foo alike look with ex pectancy to the party that has been .<.,.,. t".,,.

Our country is (he great esl on earth, and we have simply prospered in spite of monopoly, in ?pite ol' trusts .md strangulation in all linet of trade.
