What is Ahead for the Republican
Party.


Either Mr.. HAYES is man OF little
strength OF purpose, aud Of very slender
backbone, a. We believe. or lie il not: aud
in either case Republicans who really re-
gard the good OF the country rs OF su-
preme Importance, ought 10 consider care
fully whether 1t is not their duty either
to vote for MI TILDES, or not to vote
Mt all.
In the event OF NJ. HAYES election, one
of two things must happen: either he Will
submit to the corrupt and constituencies
leaders of the party, or he will stand 10y
the promises and Representations he has
made 10 his private friends. and break ut
tcrly with those leaders. In the event OF
his submission the Republican party must
siuk into a deeper slough of corruption
than II has yet sounded; in the event Of
his resistance, it must be disrupted by
more violent and embitiered quarrel than
that which the Wing party passe through
when JoHS TYLER SGT up on his own ao-
count, or that which shook the Republican
party when ANDREW JOHNSON turned
against IT, Ana whuc Mr.. HAYES would
become TO the majority OF the party the
most odious creature IN the country. the
party itself would be shivcrcd into frag-
ments and destroyed. n it would not he
by the election OF Mr.. TupEN.
The shadow Of this iuiernecine conflict
within the lines Of the Republican party is
clearly outlined in the following passage
from the Springfield Republican. u journal

The recent experience of Mr.. SCHUnz in
whose retirement from the canvass there
