One Of the most gratifying results Of
tine Chicago nominations i seen in the
complete unanimity OF the republican
press. 1t is we'll enough known that the
republican organization, made up, as 1t
originally was, of men coming out from
all previous political parties on the MAN
issue OF resisting the aggrcs~ious of eia-
very. las allowed the widest latitude OF .
opinion upon topics not involved in that
issue. Especially has tins been the case
since the disappearance ot slavery has
substituted for the original central prin-
/ ciple OF the party the numerous questions /
Of policy which have logically crown out
OF it. The consequent differences OF
opinion have been fully represented in
the republican press. We have protec-
! zionist papers and free trade papers pat
pers which advocate a strict construction
of the powers OF the general government,
and others which believe that the GOV
crnmcnt can hardly do too much for Ia"
national Interests: initiation and contr:c-
ton papers, currency and gold paving
papers, ultra. conservative and average
papers, and 50 on through the whole list,
