used to public life, and who will not
give up if they can help it, and the
younger generation, who arc ambi>.
tious and very tired of waiting.
There are not officers enough to go.
around, and there are lots of eumi-
ties and grudges
Thus wo may frequently hear
here discussions among New York
politicians who frequently visit us
which show that New York Repub-
licanism is, oven moro than that of
Pennsylvania, frothing at the mouth.
There is pretty general determine
tion to drive Mr., Conl1ling out of
public life at all hazards, but when
that is done the family will be no
happier. Morgan, Dix, Evarts,
Curtis-al want to got ahead, md
each has faction at his back.
You can scarcely pick out
Northern State where similar pro-
cess Of disorganization is not going
on in the party. In Indiana the
Morton mon and the Harrison men
are fiercely opposing each other. In
Ohio the venerable Taft hopes to be
nominated as an opposition Repub-
ican, and his followers and those of
Stanley Matthews are making each
other unhappy. IN Illinois the
party some time ago got so tired Of
Logan that it did not wait for the
new policy of Hayes to split open in
the back. In Massachusetts there
are-reports hore say-renewed
evidences of wider split between
the Butler Simmons and the anti.
utler-Simmons Republicans.
When Blaine was here the other
day he told his frinds that the Re-
publican party was as good as dead.
'That man has ruined us, he said,
nodding toward tho White House,
and he thought himself lucky to have
full senatorial term to serve out.
But behold, Mr., Eugene Hale comes
out as an "unhesitating" supporter
of the administration, and re-
port says that Mr.. Frye is of the
same mind with Mr.. Hale, and this
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
So far as the Democratic party
appears here it is also splitting up
into two camps, There arc few
prominent Democrats who are de-
termined to oppose the President in
every way ; they say he is a "fraud,"
and can do nothing good it is a
duty to make him unhappy, to place
obstacles in his way, to make him feel
that he has no right in the White
House, and their policy is to regard
all he does with suspicion to at
tompt extreme Legislation of different
kinds, and, in short, to be irrecon7
cilables. But much larger pro-
portion of tho Democratic leaders
arc of differant mind, They say
that they will support the President
cordially in all gool measures that
party spirit shall not lead or drive
them into any laundering or unpas
triotio course that they will hold
friendly relations with him, but
that they will ask no favors of him,
and will at the election strive to
vote down every Republican candi=
date who did not protest against tho
frauds and wrongs of the election
and the electoral count. They do
not deserve to be in public life, and
and it is our duty to punish them.
That is the platform of the more
sensible oOd tho mora n,,morou @
faction. 1t has at least method
III it.
TIE PRESIDENT 8 CHANCES.
Looking the whole fold oyer, it is
plain that the President will get
abundant support for any policy
which is right. What he may lack
among the Republicans he will pet
from the Democratic side, lie
moves slowly, and is not likely to
attempt very much at any time he
has no private axes to grind, and will
not feel insulted or embarrassed if
the Senate should refuse to confirm
some Of his nominations. He is not
scheming for another term, and
has never contracted the habit of
rewarding either personal or politi-
cal favorites, and the opposition Re-
publicans will find in him very much
like creased pig hard to hold on
to. He probably knows that what~
ever he does with the Offices will
make howl among the politicians,
