& at the last election went Democratic.
The United States Senate, with forty4
two Republican to twelve Democrats
members, failed to convict the Presi-
dent under his impeachment, though
almost the entire Republican mind Of
1ea the country believed him guilty of
the charges preferred, and that his
removal from office was essential to
the welfare of the Republic. Welt
L.sf What do these facts indicate? Do
\ they prove that the Republican party
is inconstant and faithless to princi-
pie, and that, as a political organiza-
ton, 1t is worthless and unreliable?
Surely the party is open TO no such
verdict. As a party II acts lntelil-
gently, co~nscienuously and consist
emily. Its m~isfortunes and failures
are owing to the faithlessness of
some of its trusted leaders and
the Inconsistency Of narrow-mind-
ed malcontents to be found IN
almost every community. The form

great and faithful Republican party is
so often sold out to the minority OPP
posing it. Let those guilty Of pro-.
duoing this result enjoy all the com

but let no dishonOr attach therefrom

the true and faithful Of that party be
discouraged by it. Let it only serve 10
strengthen them to greater effort.

better for the Republican party. As
TO any apparent Inconsistency In such
a nomination, that amounts to moth

principle; and besides, the moment
Chase accepts such a nomination that
moment he becomes the slave of the
Democratic party. Past experience

Of New York little that is new can
be SAID: 1t Is, as usual, moving for
ward with giant strides to its destiny
as the Empire City Of the world. In
spite of bad government and immense
natural depravity, +" it is growing and
expanding In an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ratio. It already practically takes IN
a circle Of thirty miles in every direc-
ton, the area included being mainly
peopled by those whose business and
interests are IN the city proper. Ours
IS a great country, and New York is
a fitting representative Of all the
prOminaD+ n Observation-Disclosures of the pOuO.
