the REPUBLICAN, ADDRESS.

In all our remembrance no document issued
by committee representing great party in this
country ever fell so fiat upon the public as the
one Issued last week by the Union Republican
Congressional Committee" 1t is the most Iidic-
ulous affair that was ever attempted To be inpos-
ed upon an intelligent constituency. Really one
might suppose that it was not intended 10 go be-
tore people who had any minds OF their own or
were at all advised of What had been transp!ing
ior the last decade
We have already given several extracts from
this Address, and We now add tue following:
"2 You already have abundant assurance that
when republicans discover the true way they will
pursue ii. That assurance has not yet been Civ
en- by the other party"
That is certainly an honest confession No
party has ever shown SO little ability in discover
ing tho true way to govern the people Neither
has any party shown such ability to discover"
ways BY which the treasury has suffered IN all
sections of the country.
NOW, ii does not require great deal of learn
ing to enable Office holders to lie honest or Iegis
lators to be economical. 1t is in dcviating ir om
these simple matters wherein the people ha We
been outraged, as well as in matters OF more in
tricate craftsmanship.
The confession that The Republican party as
been incapable to End ont the ''trus way" is on ly
what the people have already to their advan-
tage discovered. That party has had iairer tri al
than any other party ever had, and it is now only
fair that it should step aside and let the Demo.
cratic party take its place. The Democratic par
ty reared the country to tho position it held when
the Radicals took possession, and ever since we
have been going behind. Now let us have
chaDge-let the Democrats have another trial
and we venture that in the same time the Radi-
Gals have had the government it VI Ill be found to
be In an immeasurably better position than now
and that liberty, economy AMI prosperity will
reign from one end of the union TO the other

FROM the n. \. Tribune JuLe l'th
The Republican Congressional Committee,
having John A. Logan ii. $ head and Powell
CLAYTON in its taiI, with T. ichaiah Chandler,
Simon Cameron, George Spencer, and other
leading statesmen distributed along Its body, has
issued an address OF immense size to the people
of the United States. The pIoicssed Object OF
the publication is to set forth the claims OF the
party to favorable consideration IN the iall cleo
lions. Those claims are based chiefly upon past
services
What has the Republican party TO offer us for
the future? The old issaes are closed. The war
and its consequences are irrevocable. The work
which the Republican organization was made for
has been honorably finished. In spite OF the sim
lie of the faithful servant with which the address
opens, every politician knows that parties can
not live OH ancient history. We do lind accord
ingly in the closing paragraphs OF the address an
mtlmaton OF the new question upon which the
Republican party purposes TO go before the coun-
try. 1t is not the currency-the first great ques-
tion of the dayior the promises made at Phiia-
delphia and so many other places oil restoration
oi specie payment are formally iepudlited. 1t
is not the reformation Of corrupt anu mcrcenary
politics. 1t Is not the settlement Of the Southern
problem Ii Ia transportation The Republican
party wants to fight the next campaign on the
question. Here at least we have
plain policy. The fivoritc device OF the Gran
gers is frankly condemned. legislative interter-
ence with railroad tariffs is pronounced "too
hazardous" "Any policy which would tend TO
drive capital from us should he avoided If posi-
ble." But the committee give their recomLenda-
lion to the scheme OF opening four great water
routes from the prairie to the seaboard which will
give the National Government the expenditure
Of an internal improvement fund of 5000 900

as may be found convenient That is the Repub-
icsn platform for next year, that and, We must
presume, the repeal of the Wisconsin law aud all
similar railroad enactmenis.

A Terrible Accident.

A probably fatal accident occurred

one of the chambermaids employed at
the hotel, was engaged at work in one
of the rooms of the third story, on the
east side of the house, and in some un-
accountable way, fell out of the win
dow and down on the solid brick pave
ment of the alley which separates the
hotel from the bank building. Fortu-
nately she was discovered Immediate
ly after the occurrence, and taken to
herr room. Drs. Wise and Leal were
summoned to attend her, and upon eX-
animation found the right arm broken
III three places, the head and face bad

1t is also probable that she has suffer-
ed internal injuries. Indeed it is sur

ery is considered doubtful.
