The feeling of disgust at the Democratic party is so strong that probably such a candidate of the Republicans would be elected; but what of the future? When he commenced to serve his masters and carry on the same kind of invisible government that the reactionaries believe in, it would be found that in the present day such methods would be brought to the full light of publicity. There would be such...
