TO SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT.

The Washington Post. the &C.
knowledged organ of the Democracy at
the Capital, declares. emphatically, that
upon the re. assembling of Congress the
Democratic Senators will sustain the
President in his contest with Conklipg
and Blaine. Recent movements of the
leaders of the Radical wing of the Re-
publican party Indicate that If they
succeed in their war on the Administra-
ton. they will adopt the old policy in
dealing with the South, and, if possible.
renew the sectional feeling that existed
between that section and the North for
years. This will dampen the ardor Of
the tuited Senator from New York aud
the suustruck trickster of Maine, and
compel them to accept the situation
and take back seats i'll the Senate, with
less power to influence the course of
the Administration than Gordon, Of
Georgia, or Lamar, of Mississippi. OF
course, lions like Conklins and Blaine
will not submit to being led by those
whom they have been accustomed to
lead, and war, bitter and relentless. will
be waged by them upor the Administra-
ton. Dlsaffected Republicans in the
several States will be governed by their
actions, and it will depend upon the
numerical strength of Hayes and anti
Hayes men in conventions whether the
Administration shall DO condemned or
extolled. In Nevada. as far as our OBJ
servation extends, We feel warranted in
saying that the ConkhDg men are in
the majority and will undoubtedly
control the next State convention.
