There. are some mem institutlng claims
to loyalty, who fear that ths tendency OF
the government at the present time, is
OF the few. They tell US that only men OF

Despite the pretensions of these men to un.

Nothing is harder to eradicate than ma
tional prejudice. It is bad enough when
it embodies itself in individual sentiment,
but when it clothes itself in the broad
panoply of party. organizations, it moves
on in its headlong course like mighty
torrent. The war has been great teacher
in this direction. Before the war broke
out the grand reproach hurled at the Re-
publican party by it's enemies was that it
was abolitionized. Many who were OPP
