The Duty of Republicans.

Indianapolis Journal. —That the election of Tuesday resulted in a decided Democratic victory is undeniable. They made considerable gains all along the line, and captured some important Republican positions. But this >s oue of the chances of politics, and ?b- like has happened before, as it will continue to happen as long as party politics and party goverment continue, which, we trust, will be for a long time to come. The victory of one party over another, the occasional turning of the tables, unexpected majorities in off years, strong drifts of; popular opini on, general apathy in one party or the other—these and other similar conditions are common and familiar features of America politics. They have happened from the beginning, and will continue to happen. The Democratic victory of Tuesday has been equaled and even surpassed in former years, and it does not argue continued success now any more than it did then.

- T hgrg Avm a time since the organization of the Republican party when the public welfare more than now plainly demanded its continuance in power an<J when opposition to the Democratic party, and all it represents and stands for, was more plainly a patriotic duty. Let any intelligent, selfrespecting American ask himself what the two parties stand for today and deny, if he can, that the germ and essence of American liberty and progress are found in the principles advocated by the Republican party. Note the
