in measures of reform. SO rife has be
come the spirit Of reform that an at
tempt is being made 10 organize a new
political party with reform" as the
whole platform. The trouble with the
new movement; is its leaders, who are
with one or two exceptions, men that
have been kicked ont of the old party
of freedom-a party which was con-
ceivei in the struggles of race for man
hood; party thai sprug into exist
cnce at the reverbcration Of Sumpter's
gun; party that preserved to as the
government of Washington and the
fathers.
The house adjourned on Friday till
Monday noon, but the senate remained
in session till late Saturday night, set
ting a good example of reform. So
strong has been the spirit of rivalry for
reform between the new combination
and the republican party that it re-
suited in resolutions TO test the rel
alive strength Of the two parties. The
resolution was offered in the senate by
