W i lw gaity ltorimu ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY.- FEBRUARY 2C. 1885 PAST AXD PItESENT. Next "Wednesday the Republican party goes out of power, and a Demo cratic president will be inaugurated. In any oilier nation, the relinquishing of possession by a political party of the reins of government after twenty four years of uninterrupted occupa tion would raise a tumult. But great though the change may be, the occurrence will have no more signifi cance than any other prominent event of the year. Everything will go right along as before. The Democratic newspapers, will, however, find it novel to defend the administration, for, for neaily a quarter of a century they have been pitching into the way that imtioiml :lFtirs were adminis torod. In thosrfine manner the Re publican ncH-fcprtjiers will find them selves no loiiser in the position of advocates, apologist, or defenders, and instead of endorsing they will decry and with hostility inveigh against the acu of the chief execu tive. Fortunately Ijr our country and bur common prosperity, the fight will be oonfiuctl to t nisau organs. The groat Uujly oi t'l ikvvIo vill be en grossed iu !v ..w pursuits and nothing short of ;. iLigranl violation of popular rights., or a gross infringe ment of popular liberties, will arouse more than passing :-omuiont. The American people reooguize the necessity of lo great political par ties. 0 ir is ag-7drnment of ch jks and balance; both parlies will bear watching, and when they are, as at prasent, equally divided, neither party can, as a matter of policy, afford to make any mistake. It was the "smart" utterance of an educated fool in New York city that lost Blaine the presi dency, and it is here instanced simply to illustrate how trivial tho causes that sway the popular balance. So, when next Wednesday amid the pomp befitting the occasion, Mr. Olcvoland is inaugurated as the XXII president of the United States, it is not as the leader of an overwhelming force, nor the opponent of a beaten few that he lakes his high seat, but as the chief magistrate of a great na tion, the foremost on the planet, a na tion that is divided in almost exact equality into two great parties, and which has as the foundation of tho principles of both parlies, a love of liberty and free institutions. The telegraph says that President elect Cleveland goes to Washington next Monday. His journey will oc casion a suggestive contrast. Just twenty-four yeirs ago a presi -dent-elect went to Washington. He went in disguise, surrounded by a few faithful friends, at dead of night, in the shadow of death, his life threat ened. Next Monday Mr. Cleveland will go in a style befitting the high office of which he takes possession. In the broad glare of day, with booming cannon, and triumphal arches, and floral decorations he will ride to the national capital surrounded by frionds and admirers, and who is there, be he Republican or Democrat, who shall refuse to honor him whom tho people of the United Suites have seated in the White House! It is right that Grover Cleveland should ride to Washington in stateliest style and it is proper that he should be cheered and welc-jmed as he pro gresses from ci y to city. He is to bo our pre-ji-Jent, the president of the United States., the leader of the isa iion, and not of a iUetioe, nor a party. But how was it twenty-fonr years ngo, when Aorahaai Lincoln stole through Baltimore like a hunted an imal, wrapped iu a clunk ami a Scotch cap on hi& head? What crime had he committed? None. He had been elected presiJcl for ilie four years then succ 'i'inir, just as Grover Cleveland has :w.i chosen to that office for the four years now ensuing, except that Lincoln's plurality was over 491,009 and bis majority of tho electors 57, -while Cleveland had a plurality of only 23.000 and an elec toral majority of only 37 and 35 of these 37 electoral votes were obtained on a plurality of 1,149 in New York. There wano gratia 1 fjr disputing the validity of Mr. Lincoln's electien: and the figures show that he was more surely the choice of the Amer ican people than can be claimed in the case ol Mr. Cleveland. Abraham Lincoln's o.iiy crime was that ho was theR9pablican president-elect. How far off it all seems now! It is an additional coincidence that after Lincoln's election the Demo crats continued to have control of the senate, just as the Republicans continue lo retain supremacy in that body after the election of Mr. Cleve land. They had lost the presidency, to be sure, and tho house of repre sentatives, but they still had the sen ale, and through that advantage conld readily Lave checked and thwarted any attempt of Mr. Lincoln or the Republican party to assail any of their constitutional rights or inter ests. But -they withdrew and estab lished the southern confederacy, be cause they had been beaten in the presidential fight They took every thing they could with them. A good many of the actors in that bloody drama are alive and actively engaged in advising Mr. Cleveland what to do. They were Democrats then; they are Democrats now. These things all come back in a very striking way -when we read that the president elect goes to Washing ton next Monday. The contrast is certainly suggestive and instructive. There is not the faintest murmur anywhere of an intention or desire to antagonize Mr. Cleveland's right lo peacefully assume the office to -which he has been elected. He will not be obliged lo go to Washington in dis guise for fear of kidnapping or assas sination on tho way; and when he gets there ho will not find an empty treasury, a chaotic public fcrvice, and a great black cloud of impending national strife and misery. His title to the presidency is no belter than Mr. Lincoln's was; it is not in reality so good if wq compare tho relative figures of the two elections. There i& just as much excuse now for the northern Republican states and lead ers to enter upon a rebellion because Cleveland has been clort.-.l .is there was for the southern O mocraSie stales and leadors to pre i ..ite a ca lamity of that kiud in j.ool because Lincoln had beer elected. This dif ference iu the conduct of the two parties under circumsUinces almost exactly the eamj will bear thinking about very seriously. Th e sun of '85 shines on different conditions than did the sun of 'Gl. Tho bitter fruit from blossoms blown across tho sea no longer grows. A new generation has arisen of men that were in their cradles when sec tional strife crimsoned the land, and the dread menace of conflict has passed away from our couutry, let us hope forever. In this afternoon of the 19th century, wheth er Republican or Democrat the com mon hope of all is that the words of the first Republican president may find affirmative echo in the nation's heart, and that the government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the enrth.
