party permitted to be SO long power would
become corrupt the republican parry oi to-day
that such party might not prove uniaithlui and
unworthy OF their high position and hence Il might
be charged that corruption necessary oishoot OF

is longer question Of controversy that the rcpub
party, which has had uninterrupted control OF the
gsaure OF the country until the return of the pres

that there is
A NECESSITY FOR REFORM
