party has at last shown its utter inability to gov
ern the country BY IL dead failure IN attempting
70 govern ITSELF The administration Of the AZ
fairs Of the party IN the recent National Conven

ministration or she government Not even the
cohesive power Of public plnndcr' could hold
the party together: The ..nigser' proved the
stronger power and kicked the party to the
dogs. The old thing Il wreck il has never
manifested any desire 70 do good, and Is now
without the power to do harm.
This all shows the necessity existing for 4
change in the administration of the government
from the corrupt hands which now control it. to
the hands Of the Representative men Of the Re-
publican organization. All men who desire the
happiness and prosperity Of the country should
work for this change. The salvation Of the
country and Of our cherished institutions depends
on il, and no person should slumber until the
change is effected. ed.--Fsirfcld Ledger.
