WE HAVE C ' USE TO CHEER. i
—— The result ot the elections on |
Tuesday last certainly give cause to
Democrats all over the country to thank
‘God and take courage. While here in
Pennsylvania the darkness of political
prejudice, hides trom the tax-payer the |
wrongs that are being perpetrated
upon him, in the other states the eyes |
of the people are being opened to the
‘sophistries, the errors and the decep-
tions of the republican party. Penn.
sylvania might have gone Democratic
and there would have been no political |
significance in the result. It would
have been simply a rebuke to the cor-
rupt methods of the ring that has con-
trolled the offices : nd robbed the peo-
pie of the State for years. But when
Massachusetts, fighting on the broad
principles that divide the two parties,
goes Democratic; when New York,
with the strongest candidate the Re-
publicans could put in the field, in-
creases her Democratic majority by
thousands; when Iowa, for a second
time, repudiates republicanism because
of its broken promises and pernicious
doctrine; and Ohio is compelled to
make a campaign, and resort to
methods, snch as were never before
known or experienced, to save a disas-
trous defeat to the party in power, is
there not reason for Democrats to re-
joice, and look forward to 1892 with
renewed hope and courage.
