PARTIES OPPOSED TO REPUBLICANIsT.
Our city is now divided into four polit-
ical parties-the Republicans, the Com
ptomisers. the Tas Resisters. and the
Assassins. Each has its newspaper organ,
and the three last named profess to be
| natural allies. in the common cause of de.
posing Republican officials to make room
for their hungry edherents. Tie COM
promisers would persuade Governor Ke.-
logg to give way to McEuery, Lieutenant
Governor Antoine TO give up the duties
| which he has shown remarkable capacity
| TO discharge to Mr.. Penn. Mr.. Brown is
politely asked to turn over the adminis.ra-
| ton of our free school system, of which he
| is a Jealous friend and the able and ener-
getic Superintendent, to Mr.. Lusher, who
is not credited with the first named char
| acter, and lacks the latter qualification.
MIR. Clinton, whose energetic administra-
ton of the financial duties Of his office has
! marked an era il the history Of the State,
| is expected to invite Mr.. Graham to return,
against the majority Of several thousand
voters who declared for the exist
ing arrangement. To the ''Senators

members returned by both boards" and
such contestants as they may admit. In
consideration Of these concessions on the
part of the Republicans, Mr.. Deslonde
will be graciously permitted to continue
in the Office Of Secretary of State, and
possibly Colonel Field would be kept on
trial for while. Perhaps judge OF two
might be thrown in by the generous
destroyers of the Republican party. But
the immediate effect of such compro-
mise would be q perfectly clean sweep
not Republican Official would be left il
place Of importance in the city or State.
Such is the policy Of the compromisers.
The tax resisters have Il less compli-
Gated policy. Their platform is the iu-
mediate vacation of every Republican OIL
cial III the State. and the deportation of
all who refuse to join the Last Ditch party
as voters only. Those who presume to
ask for an Office or to advance a political
opinion of their own are to he sent at
once to their Northern SHOWS and dens.
Unit! this happy millennium begins. the
payment Of taxes is to be resisted by every
means that promise success. Blu: so far
they have confined their patriotic endeav-
ors to simply hanging lay figure to
lamp post. They called it an etfigy Of tie
Governor, but it did no: resemble him
any more closely than their statements
resemble the truth. The other ''party
opposed to Eadicalism" are known rs
cowardly assassins. Tuey. too. want to
get rid of the Republicans. who keep their
friends from the enjoymen Of the public
offices. It is believed this party is made
up Of segnlents Of the compromises and
tax resisters. They have been "ostraciset.'

and that g. riotous meeting on Lafayette

brough: themselves into disgrace with the
decent portion Of their own political al
lies. No open policy for them: therefore.
secret murders are suggested, and a feeble
attempt on the LIFE Of the Governor
is essayed. While the whole city ex-
