A Rear Guard Action.
Already in the presidential campaign of this year the Democrats are fighting a "rear-guard action." The Russian Gen. Kuropatkin has his troubles and has been fighting rear-guard actions for some time, but his condition is good as compared with the condition of the present leaders of the Democratic party. The Democracy is fighting a "rear-guard action," and about the only trouble the Republicans have in the premises is that there will not be fun enough in the campaign. Even the "rear-guard action" appears to be about over.
