ON the part of the executive, 1t ID imposs-
BILE for me to zee what other course could
have been pursued with any hope of sue

judge Of the result of the policy, yet have
no hes tatiOn in saying that 1t Is the duty
of the republican party TO give the presi-
dent warm and hearty support, until we
are 5aiisied by results that 1t is not accom-
plshing what he honestly believed IL would
accomplish
Mr. Joyce represents the first Vermont
district III the house 1t will be rcmem-
bered that he was member of the house
Louisiana committee, and had peculiar OPP
poitunities to judge of the southtrn ques-
ton. His views of the presidents south
ern policy are therefore of corresponding
value, aid bis deterioration TO support that
policy himself will no doubt have much
weight In deciding the course OF wavering
! republicans In New L gland. Ar. yce,
after stating as abuve what his action
