States than Mut any mans ambition be

States than that any mans ambition be
satisfied"
Can any one deny the force Of these
words 2 There are points upon which
the members Of tile party cannot
agree, but the great question of the
day is-Shall we abandon all we have
worked and fought for and lived to
obtain or shall we stand shoulder to
shoulder, in support of the very
fundamental idea of the Republic
itself? The election Of Hayes and
Wheeler is not of more Importance
than the choice ofn Republican Con
gress. Judge Hoar, after refusing .
the regular nomination Of the Rcpub-
licans, which General Butler would
have recognized, accepted that of a
small number whose principles arc
not to be relied upon. While lie can
have no possible chance Of success
himself, he divides the vote of the
party, and thus renders the election
of Tarbox likely, and thus increases
the chances of a rebel majority III the
next Congress.
Of the possibility of Governor
Hayes being "easily led" when cleo ted
President the Cinci nnati Commercial
says:
"The truth about Hayes is that he
is IN amiably obstinate man. He
has encountered several persons in
the course of his life; and he likes
and dislikes people with intensity,
but without any sputtcring. lie has
some personal attachments of the
strongest kind. One of them is for
General Crook. The natural obstin-
acy of Hayes, which is not noisy but
executive, will be fou Id increased in
proportion to the responsibility of lis
position BY his sense of duty, which is
keen and high. Now, this is not the
kind of man who is easily led. If lie
is elected President he will enter up
on the great Office with teep feeling
hat it is trust to be administered
for the benefit Of the whole people;
