THREE STUPID BLUEDERs.

Certain newspapers are very jubilant and
confident in predicting the early disruption
of the Republican party. They look
upon the practical rejection of Williams
and Cushing by Republican Senators as
the beginning of serious quarrel between
the President and Congress. While it is
evident That the want of more vigorous
opposition is unloosing party lines in Con-
gress as far as the Republican party IL con-
cerned, we do not see that the Democracy
is proftjng much by it. We look
upon the independent and intelligent
course OF Republican leaders in Congress
upon questions now before them, as indi-
eating u confidence in the good sense of the
American people, which is hopeful rather
than discouraging to the Republican par
ty, which appeals to the reason of the peo-
pie rather than their prejudices. But waiv-
ing for the present the further considera-
ton Of this part of the subject, we ask
| what right have Democratic editors to hope
for success for their party through such di-
visions? 1t certainly can not be because of
any merits in their own organization or
| leaders. If the action of the Republican
party since Congress assembled is subject to
criticism, what shall be said of that of the
Democracy? Ifthey have had any policy in
| Congress, except blind opposition 10 every
thing Republicans did, we do not know it.
After the popular voice clearly demanded
therepesl of the salary law and a Republican
caucus unanimously appointed a commit
tee to draft bill repeating it, Democ-
rats, animated solely by an idea that they
must oppose everything their opponents
did, blindly and foolishly put forward a
salary-increase candidate of the Boss
Tweed pattern, and with scarcely an ex-
ception voted for him for Speaker of the
| House. At later day in the Senate, an
imated by the came spirit, the Democratic
Senators, with one exception, without ex-
cuse or pretext voted for a restoration of the
ranking privilege in the face of a strong
popular sentiment opposed toi it, and that
solely because Re publicaps repealed it. And
still later when the President sent to the
Senate a nominee for Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court Of the United States, of a
man who had never failed to betray De-
proftably doing it, Democratic Senators
and newspapers, with few exceptions es-
poused his cause, solely because a large ma
jority OF Republicans opposed it. In every
instance the course of the Democracy was
foolish beyond expression. 1t was in each
case IN the face Unpopular opinion, and sui
cidal to a certainty. II Democratic leaders
have no better opinion of the intelligence
of the American people than to suppose
they can gain their confidence through
such apolicy, their stupidity is amazing.
A party that cures every blunder OF the
opposition by q more stupid one of it's own
commission, and at the same time calcu-
lates solely upon its enemies mistakes to
carry it into power, can never hope, with
any degree of assurance, for a restoration
of power, or for permanent lodgment in
the confidence Of the voters of the coun-
! try.
