I vc there i?) a Democratie gio ín evëïy State, and the ttepublicans bein to quake in their shoes. It is evident "thHt tho "party of moral ideas', iieeds some new comeutto bind its forcea toguther. I am amuaed as I roiid the papers to rea the varioi;s prescTtptions ■our editora and Btatesmen otk-r for tlia deoüning invalid. Of all, I think (Jeu. Ï5utler's the most proposterous.
