The Democratic Drought and Republican Colonization
A New York Sun analysis argues Democrats lost ground in 1880 elections due to Republican colonization across states. It cites Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, noting Republican majorities rising while Democratic margins shrink. The piece contrasts party fortunes with the Sun declaring the Democrats not dead while Chicago Times calls them a corpse.

Fool in the Mortar Ends, Defiant Against Reform
The piece railes at the Democratic Fool who has been pounded by the political mortar for two decades. It recounts figures from the 1870s to 1879 including Rosecrans, Hewitt, and Randall. It argues the party clings to folly, with fraud accusations and forged documents, while urging retirement of the Fool. The New York Sun editorializes on a wavering Democratic majority in Congress.
