It is a noteworthy fact, that the Opposi tion bave never made mere strenuous efforts to sustain themselves as a rising party than in the last six moat's, yet with all their des perate efforts they haveknade no acquisition of any consequence. On the other band, the Democracy is' steadily gaining grouri'd and numbers. In .every city or State election recently held, where side issues have not besen,msde to influencetheresult, the Dem ocri.a gained heavily. In every case where an electi4 has -been held this yeir, on, the national issues, the Democritcy have been the gaineri.. The-e preliminary skir mishes .to the great political battle of the yeai are importak. chiefly-for the reason that they Slow by their issues the uniform Democratic tendency of' the 'masses of the people. j A s n election has recently been , held in Wisconsin to choose a Cnief Justice of the, State Supreme Court. ~ T he result is so large •a Democratic gain that the 'Official returns alone c:in' decide who is elected. This - a Democratic gain of nearly 14,000 over four yeirs ago. -Republicanism" has had its day and is fast passing away to be among the ;things that Lase been.
