A number of Republicans becoming
dissatisfied with theaction Of the Pres
ident in his appointment of Democrats
to office, caucus of Senators was held,
and Committee was appointed to
wait on the President. The commit
tee visited the President, were gra-
ciously received, and at caucus sub
sequently held they report that they
were favorably impressed the commit
tee were very generally of the opinion
that the President had been justified
from the explanation they had heard
from him, in nominating Democrats
in some instances, and they advised
that he be treated with consideration,
as they had no doubt of his loyalty to
his party, and his intentions to ad-
vance the interests of that party. AL
though this view was not unanimous
ly endorsed, the general impression
has gained ground that there will be
no breach between the President and
members of Congress.

Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll tells a
reporter of the Cleveland Leader that
the Southern policy was not a policy
at all, but necessity /; that the Civil
Service policy has been misconstrued,
but will be all right when the Presi-
dent and the people come to under
stand each other, since she who has
so well agreed with the South, cannot
long disagree with the North" The
Colonel takes cheerful view of the
future, believing thai the results of
this year will show the Republicans
the way to victory three years hence.
Pennsylvania isn't much of a Dem

and Iowa did as well in October as
New York and Wisconsin in Novem-
ber. In Ohio the incubus of Stanley
Matthews, and divided councils, led
to defeat but wherever high Repub-
lican ground has been taken, the party
has come out right, with the hearty
approval of the people.
These gratifying results were achiev-
ed In the face of many obstacles and
perplexities. 1t was an off year. The
people were weary of politics. The
long strain of the Presidential excite
ment had left them in an exhausted
and languid mood. There was an ac-
knowledged difference Of opinion upon
points of policy aud action, which, al
though not leadi0g to an open breach,
kept many from the polls.
Despite all these difficulties. how
ever, the party has made a fight which
exhilarates its friends and confoundsits
enemies. 1t has dispelled the illusion
of its speedy downfall. 1t has exhib-
tied unabated vitality and force. 1t
has shown that when the call of ma
tlonal honor and safety summons the
Republicans of the country to the duty
of the future, they will enter the battle
with the old spirit. The grand old
party has work yet to do, and stands
ready to doit. kr
