One fact is worth considering. 1t
is the people who control the Re-
publican party and not the leaders
who control the people. This is
evidenced by the fact that as soon
as man waivers in his fidelity to
its principles, he is dropped at once.
For example, Andrew Johnson, Jas.
Il. Doolittle, Alex. Randall and
others. Herein lies the hope Of the
country. A leader is but u Canute
on the seashore, who will find him
self unable to stay the great popu-
lar wave.
With the Legislation Of the Re-
publican party, little fault can be
found. In conducting the great
war Of the rebellion, in it's financial
management, and in settling the is.
sues growing out of the war, on
principles OF national and individual
right, its craftsmanship is without u
parallel in the history of the world.
Like all great organizations combin-
ing millions Of men, and thousands
OF subordinate officers, it has in
some cases been betrayed by dis
honest men or inefficient officials.
But it has not hesitated to investi-
gate thoroughly every charge, and
TO apply proper remedy. AS the
Indiana Convention said, "Unlike
the Democratic party, it lays no
claims to political intallibllity, but
it does claim that it has shown it.
self both ready and competent to
resist all wrong and oppression; to
restrain injustice, to remove public
ills when they are known to exist ;
to condemn the conduct of faithlesS
and dishonest public agents, and to
detect and expose abuses in the ad.
ministration Of the government,
even when practiced by its own
protessed supporters. 1t has never
failed in the work Of reform, when
shown necessary. No offender, de.
tected ia corruption, has escaped its
condemnatlon,no matter what party
services he may have rendered. 1t
has never endeavored to defeat the
public will, but regards the people,
and not mere party organization, as
the primary source of all political
power. by its Credit Mobilier in
vestigations; by its repeal of the
salary grab; by the abolition Of the
corrupt moicty system, aud the
Sauborn Contracts, it has shown
how readily it pays obedience to
public opinion. BY its searching
into the abuses Of the District Of
Columbia, and It's prompt condcm.
nation OF administrative officers, it
has demonstrated its undated hos
tility to the demoralizing doctrine
that to the victors belong the spoils
