Tbe democratic party has not always been one of Tha leaders of It in many instances have been disposed to cloud the principles of tbe party in order to gain strength for it with votare who have insisted on principles antagonistic to democratic ideas. hart been lota of demo- goglog In the democratic party, demo- goglng- which ought to make honett democrats heartily ashamed. Few.

however, are ashamed. The main Idea In politics Is to obtain rota, and hnmbuggary has a higher place with politicians than principles. Bnt as dissolute, if I may be excused the word, as the democratic politicians have bteu and are in their'efforts to keep th people with them, the record of the republican party ia worse. For it baa not "on! practiced demagojnery, bnt it has bee rascally. The In the llrnltatio placed en tbe rights of Individuals in law Innumerable made by them, have disturl the health of the republic.

However, be i aiid to the credit of the party, It hat cenir ally reaoecied the constitution, at it hat un del-stood tbe organic law. even if It hat been careleu in Ita treatment of the rights of in dlvidnils to pursue happlaatt in their own way when not interfering with the happl nese of others. Bnt tbit much can not be eald for the Aa full of vulgarmonroes In th capture of votaa, at prolific ia demagoajiug for the unwary aa the "deatocraUo party or politicians, they poaaet. besides a contempt which la sneering, for tbe idea on which tbe government wan founded, Bjiunuly for theoraaalc law explanatory of that government." It It laid of Felix Campbell, a member ef ocngnee fiota York, that worn he a anemaerjit, th. -ct 4aat atatii h.

was very anxious for some bit of legialaUon whtah.wai.ale.cly. oncouatitutional. H. approached a trietid who we. ta (be taaate with him and aaked hiea to vote for the naaasnre.

This friend repUeii that he eonU not do eo because it waa aleaxly aacouti- tutloaal. To which CampbeU repUadi "W.1I. what If It Isl sar.1/would not lei the between yon and doing a eer'lce for a friend?" Tbit anecdote It perhaps aa eld one, yet It Illustrates tbt aspect In which tola revered lnttrnme.it Is held by some people la the democratic party and by many In the republican party. Campbell may hare tecared ate aeaUn congress by his answer to hit friend's objection, because now tbe man who will kick the constitution aside In order to reach a frland who wants aid is more of a hero in public esteem than the man who aa a patriot respects that Instrument. The republican party, caring nothing foi the original, idea of the government or for the constitution, naturally caret nothing for its own-precedents or the of partiea which want before it.

It lives for the hour anil considers neither the raslt of legislative deliberation In the put nor the 'probable effect of present legislation on the country in the fnture. Bnt there may be some excuse for it, for It came into power in times eo turbulent that the ordinary way of doing things did not and could not meet thn exigencies the condition of affairs. The war raged and the thereof hid the constitution from the eyes of all men. It was forgotten for years and when peace came again it was recalled to mind, but the old time respect for It gone, I am afraid forever. The republican party took to itself the entire credit for the result of the war.

It freed the slaves -and preserved the union. This was its boast. It had made It possible for the constitution to be an existing thing and therefore the people should be under aucb obligations to the party that they should be satisfied with whatever It aaw fit to do with that instrument Johnson succeeded Lincoln and turned against ho party which elevated him to his place, as he had turned traitor to his own state and was to turn traitor at any time when his mind suggested that his ambitions wonld succeed thereby. Then commenced a light between tho southern renegade without any and the republican parly, likewise without a con- solenco. Nothing like it was ever kiiown in this country nnd was hardly excelled by the fight between Cromwell and tbe niont.

Johnson was determined to fill the offices with his political strikers; tho republican party was determined that ha, being a croaturo of thoir creation, should not be greater than his creator. The house and senate were republican. With no respect for the revived constitution anyhow, they threw It aside lightly In dealing with thla now enemy in the white honcc. They Daasoil oil sorts of to mcof, ftl! tcrti oi new fjoharacs concocted by Johnson to hold tho reins. NViiatovor niovo ho made tfco cODKressws sure to checkmate him with a now law.

Johnson removed Stunton and appointed Grant secretary of war Grant refused the place and the office was given Thomas. There was all soits of backing ind illling, every man, Including Grant, watching ont for himself. If Johnson were not required to nil cabinet and other positions within a certain time, he would allow the clerks ia the departments to rrm Ihem till congress adjourned and then he could do as he ploauod. Thin waa his Idea when tho lair was passed fov the purpose of requiring him to send to the senate his selections and that body could refuse them, which it proceeded to do with great regularity. The law came from political motives.

Precedents were violated and the eicuso of "ex- igeacy of the aitiiation" was offered by the republican party. And now this particular chicken has come home to roost. Wlndom died a few days ago. He anil the president were In thorough 'accord on tho financial policy which tho government should follow. His death was entirely an.

expected, and therefore, perhaps, the chief executive had never thought of a successor, the conduct of congress In the matter of financial legislation has already made commercial circles decidedly feverish. A panto was Imminent a abort time ago, and mar be imminent now for the world Tbe exact position of tho secretary of the treasury on the financial question Is a matter of the greatest moment to th. business Interests of our country, and thera is no secretary of the treasury. Under the law. passed, for partisan purpoees, Mr.

Harrison must appoint a successor. Then Is no reason for this now. He daslree to geta good man. kind of jnaterlal.for this position is not to be picked ap in tho road. He therefore sends in a message, asking relief from legislation which hia own party put on the statute booka.

Ha pleads almost with tears his eyea to be given a chance, and congress will give It to him perhaps, and relieve him and the country. Bnt whether it or not another turn of the hands of time has shown, aa the turn of those same bpnds will, continue to show, the part of.the party which bouita ao loudly and mark the evening of Ita tence.
