senators Wade and WiIsOa On the stump.
We gave yesterday the speech Of Senator
Wade at Cleveland, Ohio, and give to-day that
OF Senator Wilson, delivered last nigh. at wor-
ccster, Mass These speeches are to be ac-
counted for much as Senator Wade accounted
for his presence at Cleveland. He was there,
notbecause he had something to say, but because
be was in the bill and was sent by the COM
mitee. So we print the speeches, not because
they arc brilliant, able, eloquent or original
for they are neither Of these-but because they
are part Of the political programme, and
because there may be a certain amount of in
struction for the people, il not in the ideas
upon which party lives, yet in the very fact
that i. is without idea1 We may present these
two pieces Of party harangue as satisfactorily
slowing two thipgs-frst, that the republican
party, in using up the niger, has used up its
Whole capital and has not single idea to
present TO the people-or none that it dare
present; and, second, upon how small capital
of original thought men may be the great
leaders of a great party, and stand 30 high in
party appreciation as to be named, not sneer-
ingly, as Presidential candidates. Mr.. Wade
made two points. One of these is that the
national debt is "a mere bagatelle." II the
national debt "a a "bagatelle," men may ask
the Senator what it Is that makes that burden
OF taxes that he sometime ago deplored as
weighing 50 heavily upon the people
that he thought . new division Of
property might be necessary to tighten
it Mr.. Wade's other point was that he did
not know whether he was white man or not.
And these two points apparently constitute the
political capitalize new ideas-upon which
the republican party in the West goes into the
campaign. 1t remains to be seen whether an
chronological doubt and financial falsity are
good capital for political campaign. Mr..
Wilson's speech also exhibits his party as
bankrupt in principle anl purpose. He
rambles over its achievements and tries to sir
up the dying embers by rush at johnson.
That will not d.. Johnson is too far gone to
serve as good cause for any real enthusiasm
in even the youngest political hunters II re-
publicans can give the people no better
reasons than these leaders give for tho life Of
their party, it must 60, and all the States must
join Maine and California for the existence of
the white man is certainly one grand political
fact aud needs assertion.

will no doubt have settled the controversy, in
some way or other, with the administration. 1t
Is said that old Blair and the young Blair,
jerry Black, Ex-Governor Perry, of South Caro-
lima, Bobby Walker, and others of that school,
are doing their best to bring the President to
coup d'dat like that OF Cromwell with the
Long Parliament; but that, while that would be
certain destruction to johnson, 1t would do no
good in the way Of reconstruction. The only
coup d'stat which tho President can now turn
to any advantage Is the coup Of the resignation
Of his office, and an appeal to the country. In
playing that card he may still win the game
against tho radicals.

thousand members of the League and
