vice President wilson's views.

Tono one do tue mass Of Republicans turn more
cordially for counsel, in the time of party trial
than to the honored and trusted Vice President.
In recent interview with representative of
New York paper, Mr.. Wilson. while Directing
that he had been often enormously quoted, and
had had opinions ascribed to him which he
did not express, permitted the following state
ment of his views to be published
He said that he did not consider that the re-
suit OF the elections indicated a thorough or
permanent revolution in public opinion, or that
this result foreshadowed the conclusion of
the next Presidential campaign. But the
Republican party, to regain what it has
lost, he said, must adopt wise, liberal, and
high-toned policy must crowd Its ranks with all
the worthy elements it can secure, and it must
be careful not to ALLEVIATE any good men from
the party. Above all, it must put the best
men forward. That is the only policy for par
~ to pursue in that way alone can it be kent at
a high standard, and gain and retain success
Earnest efforts should be made to win back to
the party the good men who had left it. Mr.
Wilson had always regretted the loes Of many OF
the men who went with the Cincinnati move
ment in 1872. Some who joined that movement
had Interested motives undoubtedly, but there
we're others whose motives were the purest and
highest. The loss OF the corporation of a man
like Sumner had always been deplored by him
and he used all his beet efforts to prevent the
secession from the party which took place. On
the one side he urged the mon who were leaving
the party not to go, and on the other hand, he
lmplort the leaders Of the party to do nothing
to drive these men ont. The result of the cleo
tons shows the necessity, said he, Of liberal
and magnanimous policy. 1t shows that Repub-
lcan leaders must be statesmen. The need OF
the time is statesmanship.
With proper policy and with the best men Of
the party at the front, l think, said Mr.. Wilson,
that the Republicans can in two years carry
every one Of the old free States and some Of the
old slave Statee. 1t IL probable that the Repub-
lean party will be strengthened and helped by
the policy which the Democrats will pursue af-
or their accession to power. The history of
the ID 5mocratic party for the last twenty years
has been a series OF blunders. 1t has hardly
drawn breath in that time which wat not 4
blunder. The Republicans have controlled Com
gress for sixteen successive years, longer time
Than any party has had the control aince 1929,

THE POLICY THAT WILL SUCCEED.

Vice President Wilson says most aptly that the
effort Of the Republican Party must now be to
attract, and not repel, all worthy recruits and
allies 1t must, he says, adopt wise, liberal,
and high-toned policy This is true 1t must
win back, if possible, good men who have left it.
This Ia true 1t must show magnanimity and
iberality toward those from whom it has differed
on minor questions, but whose views, in the
main, are similar. This is true. And he added,
what ID also equally sensible and just, that
1t must now be careful to ALLEVIATE no
good men from its ranks. 1t must bring it's
best men TO the front, and make them the conspic-
uoua figures in the party. Craftsmanship, ability
and high standard Of personal character are
the needs Of the times, in order to restore the
Republican organization, not merely to hardly
won party Success, but to the hearty and unre.
served confidence Of the people.
1t is now to be seen how much the Republican
party will accept of counsel like this-accepting
it, not merely because Mr.. Wilson, or any other
man, says it, but because it is plainly and un-
questionaby true. Beyond doubt, this is the
voice Of the Republican press, the great
majority Of which have not been silent or indif.
ferent spectators of those faults in the party
which cost it the recent elections. Like the Vice
President, they too have given faithful warning
when false steps have been taken, and if their
advice had been followed, rather than that of the
Buffers who denounced their counsel, and affect
cd to despise and defy their influence no such
disasters as those which we have had to record
would have now fallen upon u.s.
Let us, in the action OF Congress- this winter,
see the evidence that that body appreciates its
duty. Let US have II there is any leadership
at all, not that Of the salary grabbers, but that
Of clean-handed honorable men. In the gene
raj management of the Party, let us see not Ring
rule, but free and fair expression of the de-
sires OF the voting people, and not a narrow
minded ostracism, to ''crush out opposition "a
the control Of ambitious leaders, but free ready
Welcome to all good men who will unite with
us- Let us have the cooperation of old Repub-
Leans like Eyarts, Adams. Frank Bird
and Ex-Governor Curtin. These men are witt
rs on every important question, and their pres
ence in the party ranks will be the sign thai

rise to power is not ostracism and sel6shness
but cordial and friendly gathering of all who
desire it's principles TO be maintained

very important question was opened, last
evening in Council, by the reading of letter
from Nj. William E. Morris of Philadelphia, the
distinguished consulting engineer of the new
reservoir. The letter we give elsewhere in full
as its contents are of the most vital interest to
our tax payers. 1t is question now to be de-
termined whether, as Mr.. Morris suggests the
plans of the new reservoir are not greatly in ex-
cees Of the demands of our population and
whether the interest on very large sum of
money-possibly 300 OOO. cannot be saved
for twenty years.

congressman-eleot Thomas, was George NJ Rus
sum, ESQ., Of Caroline county, who explained
the way in which his county had given 1876 Dem
ocratic majority, viz by himself and other
former Republicans voting the Democratic ticket.
Further on in his speech, Mr.. Russum placed
himself quite beyond the pale Of the Republican
party, and by implication, at least, announced
his intention to become Democrat. Mr.. Rus
