TIE PRESIDENTS VETO DIS
nTp.r TIE REPUBLICAN PAIsTYt

This Is a question suggested BY one
or two Eastern exchanges, aud one
which. In view OF tho fact that the
party was clearly divided upon this
question Of ~"infiation" In both the
Senate and House, Is worth consider
alton. We do not believe the Repub-
lican party will DO broken up BY this
action Of the President. There may
be In fact IL is not improbable that
there will DO q secession on the part OF
sundry Senators and Members. But
where will they gos Surely not to
the Democratic party. That organ
ization In both Houses Is rs clearly d.
yidsd as are Republicans. TIE only
way left the dissatisfied ones, II such
there BE-, Is to form a new party under
the leadership Of Morton and Logan
In the Senate aud Butler and Beck In
the House. In opposition to the Rspuo-
llcan organization. But will they do
II? We think not. The very names
are suggestive Of the character OF an
organization thus engineered and Of
iicsrsd. What will DO the platform Of
such q party should an attempt be
made to organize? Somsthing Ike
this:
We, tina Simon pure f~nsnciers OF the
world In convention assembled, do de-
clare as u settled convictions and
adopt as our platform Of principles:
Fint-rhat the greenback Is not a
promise OF the Government, and not
Intended % be redeemed. Second
That there Is no yalue In money
either intrlnslcally or As a pledge.
Third-rhat paper money Is as goou
as gold. whether or not IL Is uttered
By a party able to redeem it. Fourth
That we need more money. Filth
That the printing press will afferd the
largest amount with the least labor.
Sixth-The printing press shall be
used freely for this purpose. Seventh
Whoever says that We, the said ST.
mon pure i~inanciers, etc., over advo
Gated the redemption Of grsenbacks In
coin, or United States bonds In gold,
Il n "liar aud a horse thief" Eighth
We repudiats consistency. Ninth
President Grant advocates consistency.
Tenth-rhs President isa "liar and
n horse thief" Eleventh-So also Is
tho Republican party. Twelfth-ro
the truth OF the foregoing we solemnly
pledge our united lack Of honor, Of In
tegrity, OF honesty, Of decency, and Of
consistency.
These are the principles which must
be advocated by all who secedc from
the Republican party on account OF
the Presidents veto. On tho other
hand the hard money men, the advo-
Gates OF the Republican policy, reiter-
ated at every National Convention,
and announced In two successive in
augural addresses Of the President will
DO reinforced by the powerful and inds-
pendent journals Of both parties In the
East and on this coast; by all Liberal
Republicans aud Democrats who be-
llsve la National honor and Integrity ;
by the vast majority OF business and
thinking men throughout the whole
nation, aud by all friends Of u Gov
ernment aud los Institutions the world
oyer. We are not at all sure that a
secession Of the men we have NEIL
toned Including Carpenter whom we
omitted,) aud tho pack Of debtor spec
ulators whom they represent, would
not be a vast benefit to the party I'D
the country. It would DO a gren: step
forward to the accomplishment oi The
"unloading" process some time aimee
suggested by the President. 1t cer-
tainly would not be an evil unmixed
with good.
