all, not an Improbable thing to do.
Besides being a necessity in party of
Intelligent men, it keeps the members

cratic party is in now, is we'll stated
by the st. Louis Republican, an able
Democratic paper, as follows "If Mr..
Hayes's policy is to be what Secretary
Evarts is reported as favoring-silver
money, free ships, revenue tariff and
Southern Improvement ninety out of
every hundred Democrats 10 the West
and South want to see a Speaker in
the Forty. Congress who will or
ganizo the House for the vigorous exc
cution of that policy. If that is to be
Hayes democrat we are nearly all
Hayes democrats out here"
There are very few of the tradition

believed the Republican squabble ov-
er the Southern policy of President
Hayes would he an enduring one.
Whether the policy fails or succeeds
We shall all be working together in
year or two. Neither, it seems to me-
eau the Democrats party, as now or
ganized and led, exist save as an op-

The Administration is making haste
slowly in its appointments to office,
and is now receiving and acting upon
advice from all classes of Republicans.
1t is likely that Important offices will
be filled in the course of the coming
week, and that the appointees will be
satisfactory TO the mass of Republ-

AS ii is now settled that the Presi-
dent intends to do no unlawful thing
in order to keep the Army together
during the summer, aud as many Off
GERS of standin. have expressed their
satisfaction with his course on the sub
ject, it ought not to be too much to
ask of Our Democratic friends that
they cease to clamor, in advance for
his impeachment. 1t is gratifying to
know, too, that the A Administration
will take care to avoid such IL use OF
the Army on the Rio Grande as would
provoke disturbance of our friendly
relations with Mexico, and that there
is no ground for sensational rumora
that the army will be made the tool
