themselves completely into the power of
those who offer only professions of penitence,

entertainment to which Republicans are in
vited, the Reinstatement of the Democratic
party in power, as proper demonstration to
correct any real or faneied errors or ofenses
of President Grant? Does Liberal Republi-
canism mean opposition to the vast majority
of the party who choose to sustain the Presi-

reason to expect that the party, as such,
which has opposed all Republican measures
and men for the last eighteen years should
continue to do so, and also the regular candi-

gubernatorial election of New York-thus

When man like II. Il, with all his lofty
pretensions to political honesty, seeks and
boasts as he now does Of such political asso-
ciates in reforming American politics, we
must think he has become absolutely de-
mented or supposes fools are greatly in the
majority.
