The New York Tribune says that the
latest developments point to the fact
that Republicanism is about to organize
against Grantism. This the Tribune
claims is rhe only practical line of policy
for those Republican leaders who believe
it possible yet to do something in 1876
to turn back the tide which few weeks
ago came near submerging them. Italso
claims that the late elections certainly
ibid not mean the death of the Republi-
can marty or the permanent triumph of
the Democracy. What they did mean
was the resolution of Republicans to use
any means in their power, whether by
staying away from the polls or by voting
the opposition ticket, to destroy Grant
ism. We think it will be found that they
did destroy it" But suppose now that
the Republican party is so thoroughly
purified in the extinction of Grantism,
what is left Of the refined article? II
would take man with a telescope To
discover. The Republican party as il
has been organized for the past ten years
represented no principle, but was the
party Of seltishness and individual greed
for official spoils. This represented
Grantism, Conklingism, Mortonism
Cameronism, in short Radicalism. Elm.

His performances have not by any
