Organization Of the Assembly

Neither party having majority in
the next Assembly, some little anxiety
and doubt exist as to how an orpcui-
zation will be effected. The parties
which seem to be giving most atten-
ton to the matter are the Democrats
aud Greenbackers. They are trying to
effect fusion by which they may have
control of the Assembly, and the
patronage which it has to bestow. The
Greenbackers, it is understood. have
proposed to the Democrats to fuse and
divide the spoils, making Charles R.
Parker, of Beloit, and a Greenback
man, speaker, and giving the Demo-
Gratis fair share Of the remaining off,
ces. If there is to be any alliance of
this kind made, by all means let the
Democrats take hand in. Republicans
should have nothing to do with it.
Let them hold caucus, and nominate
their candidates. If they are elected
without any trading and dickering
which shall bring scandal upon the
party. we'll and good. If they suffer
defeat, it cannot b. said that they have
been dishonored.

Doomed to Disappointment.

Our neighbor Of the Democrat i'm
AGNES that he sees a break at hand be
tween the President and the Republi-
can party, and he foudly hopes that it.
is to result in the Presidents Johnson
izing. With visions of post Offices fit
ting before him, the editor stands rea-
dy to proclaim allegiance to the fresi-
dent at any time. All he asks of the
President is to "cut loose from the Re.
publican party and select his appointeas
from the ranks of the Democracy.
He adds that "the Democrats in the
Senate are no doubt ready and willing
to become the hackers of the President
whenever he shall signify his desire
for such support. This shows great
er looseness of political virtue in the
Democrat than We have supposed it
could justly be charged with. Give
the editor post Office and he will take
back all the hard things he has ever
said about "His Fraudulency," and
swear that President Hayes is no lon
ger usurper, but saint. For the
sake of ',spoils" he will eschcw all his
old Democratic principles and identify
himself with an administration which
up to this time he has never lost an
opportunity to malign. But he is
doomed to disappointment. The Pres
ident is not going to join the Demo.
cratic party, nor is his administration
to be anything but Republican. Min.
or differences may exist between the
President and members of his party,
but there is no ground for supposing
that any such break will occur as sug-
gested blythe editor Of the Democrat.
With him "the wish is father to the
thought"

reference to the city debt, and denounc-
ing in unmeasured terms the capacity
of its leaders for good: dare not lisp a
word in opposition to their demands,
but acquiesces in them all, for the sake
of supposed political advantages, though
knowing very we'll that the welfare of
the city suffers greatly thereby. 1t
has not expressed the least disapproba-
ton of the appointment Of G.. w. Grit
fifth, Sec'y of the Union League, as
Supt. of the Poor, which is the latest
"sop" thrown by the Democrats to the
League to curry favor with and keep
hem in humor. So long as the DEM
ocrat and those of its party who are
not in sympathy with the League, play
the part of whipped puppies and sub
NIT gracefully to having their noses
brought to the grindstone by the
League, Of course the managers of the
latter will continue the diversion. But
it is an uncomfortable and Improbable
thing for the taxpayers, for it keeps in
office set of political bummers, who,
having no regard for the public inter-
est, are luxury which the masses
can lily afford to enjoy. Until the
people shall make up their minds to
break away from their party in local
elections and cease voting for candi-
dates simply because they are Demo
Gratis, no improvement need be looked
for in the maater;el with which the
dominant party will fill the Offices; und
administrations as profigate and incom-
petent as the present one ruling the
city will become the order of the day.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1877-12-26

So far as we have noticed, there is
but one Democratic paper in the coun-
try which has spoken in condemnation
of the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives for its Infamous proceeding in
seating Patterson from Colorado, whose
election was clearly illegal. The Buff
falo Courier is the one honorable ex-
ception among the entire Democratic
press, to which We allude. 1.-The fact
remains" the Courier declares, "that
Patterson is not the actual choice of the
people of Colorado, and this ought to
have been a sufficient reason for a
Democratic House of Representatives
to refuse him admission"
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1877-12-26

The New York World is "pitching
in" to those Democratic Senators who
voted with Senator Conkling against
the confirmation of the New York Gus.
tom House appointees. Referring to
their vote in that matter against the
President, the World says: "They
chose to abandon the man who has
spent his whole term of Office thus far
in carrying out Democratic purposes"
It is remarks such as these to be
found in Democratic papers which cause
many Republicans to doubt the wisdom
of some ofiPresident Hayes official acts,
many of which are entirely too satisfac-
tory to Democrats to be wholly agreea-
bic to Republicans.
