National Republican., 1877-11-22
Tho Political Outlook.


uation, with view, IL possible, to harmonizc
all apparent existing differences between
the Executive and the leading members OF
the party which elected him, an effort has
been made to convey the impression abroad
that marked success has attended this laud-
able effort. The metropolitan press at once
assumes this to be- the fact, n circumstance
which reflects less of shrewdness, discrimi-
nation, and candor on its part than Or'lina-
rily marks its discussions There Is noEhing
to be gained in the way Of permanent good
by concealment or pcrversion Of fact relating
to this important question. Notrue Repub-
lican can desire any other result in this mat
ter than the restoration Of perfect amity and
concordance of sentiment and action be-
tween the President and the Republican
party, and we would be the last to inter-
pose the slightest obstacle in the way of its
consummation.
That differences have existed IL evidenced
In the flct that conference became ncces-
sary and was held. That they do not still
exist We have no evidence whatever, either

in the effort to placate differences and bring
amity and concord to the Republican party,
while there an strong indications from the
leaks which have ensued that the parties in
treaty were no more in sympathy when
they parted than when they first met. The
President contends that his position is right
and will not be changed in any interest.
The Senators regard some Of the policy aad
acts OF the Executive with decided dissent.
Neither side has made amy concessions
known TO the public, nor taken m advance
step in the way Of cOnc!iation and irHtor-
nifty. The interview is well typiied in the
vancouver of the Ling of France, who
with forty thousand men marched up the
hill. and then marched down again.
1t is our present purpose, so far as practi-
cable, to imow such light upon this subject
rs is available, that the true state of the
case may be understood and appreciated, so
far as such result il possible. The air
has been full Of Iunors, and they have been
sent on the wires broadcast over the cOun-
try. The return wave Of popular sentiment

capital from different sections of the coun-
try. These bring to us the impressions that
have been created abroad by the dispatches
that have been sent out in remarkable har-
mony of view, though chiefly based upon
speculation.
The Buffalo Commercial advertiser pre-
Scnts this view Of the case, so far as it re-
lates to the appointment of Democrats to
office:
Ii he is reported correctly. the President Is
| hugging the delusivo phantom of hope la ref.
crenco TO the creation Of a new party at the
South. lie clinGs TO the nJtion that by gen.
CrOus treatment Of the Democracy he can cul.
tivatc among them more libcmlty for the Re.
publican party and its principles. He is per
suadcd that fire still exists among the cmbcr
Of the old Wing organization, and that 1t can
be famed into flame which will give warmt Il
aud Vitality TO those who are tired of the rule
OF Drmnciutic extremists.
Now in all this the President is sadly of the
track. He is chasing n political will.O'-the.
| wi,p. His nspinti,nS IN this direction for the
consuinnatinn of practical statesmunShip are
doomed to sorry failure. The Southern Dem
Ocrats will take all he has to give. They will
utter words oi approval for his policy, pro
vidcd they profit by it Bu, after all their cx,
| pericnce under his administration, and with
oil OF his Efforts to secure their good will, they
would moi give him vote tomorrow werr hJ
| presented ~ II candidate iOr re election. They
would not vote ior any Republican.
The Commercial Adrtrfisr represents the
Republican sentiment Of the State of New
York when il says:
The dispatches say that the Republican
Senators are unit in resisting what they
| deem to be an unnecessary infringement upon
the rights aud privileges of the party organi
zatiou. In this they are justified upon every
consideration Of party policy and political JUS
