The concerted attack along the whole
line Of the Administration works by the
most accepted Republican leaders cannot
fail to- bring on crisis soon after the meet
ing of Congress, which must result either
In n reconstruction Of the Cabinet or the re-
pudiaton OF HAYES by the party with
which he has profcsscd to act. No poit-
cal organization can stand before the
country with any prospect OF success rent
by internal dscords, and its nominal head
pulling one way while the body is working
In an opposite direction.
Unity of purpose and harmony of action
nre the two essential requisites for "A party
which seeks the control Of public affairs.
HAYES began his career as Fraudulent Pres
tdcnt 10y scornfully rejecting the counsel of
those most entitled by their experience aud
their ability, as well a. by the confidence Of
their party, not only to advise but TO deter
mine who should compose the Administra-
ton. The main elements Of the Cabinet
were chosen before he left Ohio. so that Mr.
CoNKLTNG Mr. BLAINE, Mr.. EDMUNDs, and
other chiefs could have no voice In their sclcc-
tion. Mr.. EvARrs. Mr. SHERMAN, and MIR
ScHURz were notified of their appointments
without a word of consultation with the
leaders, who were expected to bear the re-
sronsibilty Of their official acts and policy
in Congress. Mr. KEY. Mr.. THOMPSON. Mr..
DEvENs, and Mr.. McCRARY were chosen
after HAYES reached Washington. some
what in arrangement of the Ohio pro-
grammc. but in total disregard Of all opln-
ions outside Of n narrow and selfish faction
who encirclcd and manipulated the Fraudu-
lent President IN their own interests.
II was originally intended to make JONI
M. HARLAN Attorncy-Gcncral hut the pres
sure OF the late Senator morton and others
in behalf Of Indiana. which resulted ia the
accidental choice of Mr. THOMPSON. threw
Kentucky out and gave HARLAN life estate
on the bench Of the supreme Court. KEY
MCCRARy. and DEvENs were picked up with
a drag net the one to cmphG size my
policy, and the other to furnish opinions to
order, demonstrating that the profession
OF civil service reform were intended to
mean that oilicehoders should Ice active in
supporting the Administration.
Thus, from the very start. HAYES put
himself in direct anita yon-m TO the councils
of the party, and surrounded himself with
body Of advisers. most Of whose members
had been conspicuous in their Efforts - de-
stroy the Republican organization. Since
then he has persisted in a course designed to
emphasize this insulting prescription. and
to proclaim himself absolute dictator OF the
policy which the Republican organization
should adopt and Republican leaders duti-
fully accept.

that HAYES crime against free government is

This wrtchcd drivcl has not even tho merit of
originality. since the North Carolina idiot was
anticipated. nine months ago. by man in

Of knives. pistols. and blood at tho time Of
