The Union aud American says, there
lisa screw loose in The RaliaAl patty,
and it his b come a party vf fiction.
Iq New York they haYD the Greeey and
Che COnkling fac ions In Malpma they
have the Spencer and the Warner fac
lions In Pennsylvania thsy have the
Cameron and the Geary factions. In
Louisiana they have the Wafmouth and
the Dunn (negro) factions, rapidly drift
ing into white aud negro factions. In
North Carolina they have the Holden
and Caldwell factions, In Ohio they
have the Sherman and the anti. Sherman
factions. In Missouri they hnye the
McClurg and the Gfata Brown factions.
In Illinois they have the Trummell and
Logan factions. In Virginia they have
the Porter and the Louis factions. In
Massachusetts they have tue Butler and
the anti Butler factions. In Arkansas
they have the Mcdonald aud Clayton
factions, There is Il screw loose in the
Radical party of the West, and some Of
its important pieces are falhng away
from the main structure. Gen. Schurz
is opposed to the Morton-G Grant pro-
grummc. lie thinks it too small and
narrow for intelligent men to stand
upon ut this time. The legislation Of
the country, as mapped ont by Morton
and Butler docs not suit him. Senator
Trmnbull is also upon the war path,
aud in u Fourth Of July speech at Gales
burg, Illinois, he arruigncd the admins
tration for several most serious oiTcnses.
He condemned the exercise of Tie war
power i'll time Of peace, lie said that
attempts had been made to clothe the
Executive with too much power, and
that Capitalization was the great danger
of the Republic. He pronounced local
governments to be Safeguards Of lib
erty,' and insisted that the Federal Gov
ernmGnt is only needed to protect the
citizen. To heal the wounds of the
South, liberal and kindly action on the
part Of the general government was
needed. 1t is quite evident that the
West is tired of General Grant. In
every direction the leaders are tearing
each other to pieces. The party maha-
gers are hard up for a subject Tor agita-
ton, through which to draw these fac-
tons from their wrngling. Their last
hope was the Ku-Klux, but that once
promising scheme is fast vanishing away
as the Ku-Klux Committee proceed with
ADMINISTRATION in Washington. Wen
dell Phillips recently gave his idea of
the dissolving views of Radicalism as
follows:
"If the Government don't do some
thing with the Ku-Klux before Deem
ber, | don't sec much hope for the Re-
publican party. No party can live on
%laurels, They must live ON expected
service, not on remembered triumphs.
The Republican party is Ike an old fam
ily-all its merits are Under the ground;
all their merits are in history. The Re-
publican party is a ghost hunting the
grave Of its departed strength. Now if
it would put down the Ku Klux with a
strong hand, OF if it would open on II
new career by cnancipating the white
laborer as it has the black, then it would
take the front rank as 1T has done. But
if they succeed in driving out Of the
arena all the live issues, the Democrats
are better managers than they are, and
will secure the government. 1t is only
when live issues come to be dealt with
that the nucleus of the Republican party
is efficient. I must say that in the di-
vision of the spoils the Democrats are a
great deal better than they arc"
