Rensselaer Republican, Volume 18, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 July 1886 — Democratic Failure. [ARTICLE]

Democratic Failure.

The failure of the Democracy to reduce national expenditure was expected. Its reduction of the number of ex-soldiers of tlie Undon employ ed-irr The publio departments was expected; its increase of the number of ex-Confederates so employed was expected. Its abandonment of its professions of .tariff reform was expected, its hostility to the enforcement of the civil service law was expected; its failure to pass any desirable pension law was expected; its refusal to furnish tlie country wdth a war navy was expected. It has disappointed the country in none of these things. Its defeat and disruption at the next general election is also expected and it is laboring hard to accomplish the fulfillment of this last and most ardently desired expectation of civilization. — Indianapolis 'Times.. _ , .7 . .7
