,ent elections at the East. II the tsls-
report Of their conversation be
both Of these high dignitaries
right and yet both wrong. Cameron
to lay the blame upon the
President for his veto Of the increased
currency bill. and alleged that il was not
dissatisfaction with the leadership OF the
party which caused its de-
Ieat in Pennsylvania. Tho President
thought that while local issues had some
thing to do with the result, that attacks
upon the Administration BY Republicans
in Congress had more to dc with the
party defeat. The truth OF the matter
is, that to Congress and the President
both belongs the blame. The President
has made numerous and conspicuous
bad appointments, and Congress has dis
graced itself and lost the confidence OF
the people by repeating the Civil Service
act; by failing to take straightforward
action on the currency question; by neg
Letting to act upon the Louisiana mat
ter, and in many other ways. We arc
not now attempting to arraign either the
President or Congress. In our juds-
nsnt the people have already done that
with . zeal quite sufficient and q result
most ~unpalatabls to members Of the
Republican party.
But all this quibbling between branch
% Of the Government; between tho Leg
~islativs and the Executive; this attempt
to shift responsibility for errors Of omis-
sion or commission from ons TO the
other is neither in good taste nor will II
help the Republican party to regain its
losses in the next campaign. What Is
needed Is reform. This 10 what the
people have demanded in language too
plain to DO mistaken. and although we
widely differ with them in their choice
Of . method to accomplish this desired
result, We cannot shut u eyes to the
fact that a change must come. This
election in the East that the Re
publican party. II it would retain con-
troll Of this Nation. must ''unload."
II matters not whether the fault Is in
Congress or the President, or both.
There is wrong somewhere. or at least
the public think so. and II must be cor
rscted. The American people demand
that the Buffers. Sanborns, Murphys,
Shepherds, Richardson's, Sharps, Bah
cocks. Cassys. Paekards, Durslls, Kel-
logs and Simmsnses-ths whole horde
Of proven plundsrers who have faitensd
upon tho spoils OF Office, DO retired.
They demand a new deal. and the Re.
publican party must heed them.
The policy Of the Republican party
to-day is liberalism. The gates OF its
organization should be opened wide
for the return OF its disafsctsd
members. Party lines should be spread
out wide enough to embrace the follow
srs Of Sshurz, sumner. Trumbull and
Greeley. and so narrowed down as to
exclude the worst elements OF politics
which have lately had too much sway in
eur councils. The time has gone by
when the party can afford to say to every
man who darss to oppose some Of the
acts Of these assumed leaders. "we
have no need Of your services; we car
get along; in fact we are better without
your aid" It is not 80. The Rspub-
lican party was not better without the
aid Of Sumner and Schurz and Greeley.
They were a loss to the party. and their
places are not filed by men Of equal
ability. nor. We may add, Of superior
honesty. Tho followers Of these men
should be invited In rsjoin the party.
Their influence is not only powerful. but
beneficial. And as the people have ro-
pudiatsd the men who. since 1872 step
ped into their places, the Republican
party now more than ever. has room for
just such men. As w have said, these
men are not Democrats; they al never
