The attempt Of Liberal Republicans TO repre-
rent their position as independent Of party IL u
terly futile. Some Of them may think 1t 10 be
90. Some may mean that it shall be 50. But
thew have the iGcts for su,wer. They will vote
to bring the old Democratic organization into
poxer. That oil Organization makes, indeed, a
new rrcfe.siou. But what then? Tie value Of
the profession is teen il one fact. The chief
Democratic complaint Of the Republicans iE that
they have established - bsyonet rule - II the
Southern st.;er; yet the Democrats adopt Er

that 1ule. Bho regretted that it could net he
made severer. The Absarli.y and dishonesty Of
tie Democrats action are equally apparent, aad
only those WHO ATE resolved not to zee are blind
10 the truth tia, TIE Democratic psrty is Tl'y-
ing the most desperate sal psri.1a5 game for
return to power, and the Liberal Republicans
arc their allies
But thoughtful and patriotic men oppose this
Democratic r5I,orstion, not because they fuppote
that there viii be any effort TO reopen chsttel
slave markets. or forcibly to sHault the Union,
but because it would unset.le the settlements
which, until lac Democratic organization is dis
solved. are sue only while the Republi-
cans control the government, sud he

definite postponemeut Of the possibility
Of real reconciliation. The reconciliation
which Mr. Schurz sud bis friends seek is impot-
srhe while the oil Democrats organ izat.on

TO its continuance They protest msufully
sgsinst the crack Of the Republican whip snd
Weld their necks to the Democratic yoke The
Republican psrty, they say, has become corrupt,
sid they will replace 1t by the Democratic party,
because it says thSt i will scquiesce in the he
