The Republican Quarrel with lIr Hayes

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The real gist Of
the trouble which threatens to lead to
party disunion lies much deeper, and is
probably contained in the brief expires
sion of Western Senator, in private con-
versation, who says: 1T is not so much
the action with respect to Louisiana or
South Carolina that makes Republicans
dstrustful as it is that a series of events,
each too Insignificant to be noticed by
ITSELF has occurred since the election,
which leads Republicans to fear that they
have President who is something less
than a Republican, and which leads the
Democrats to entertain the same opinion.
The Republican party wants a Republi-
can President" IL is this apprehension
that the President is not quite Repub-
lican that causes the sfear of party dis
turbance. The expressed views of the
President and Of the dissatisfied Repub-
licans are so far apart that there must be
q giving away on one side or the other
Either the President must substantially
abandon the appointment of men who
have been considered doubtful or liberal
Republicans or Democrats, and must
abandon the enforcement of his civil
service order as it had been understood
or a portion OF the Republican members
of Congress will ultimately abandon his
support. unless (Which seems quite i'm
probable) these Republican Congressmen
abandon the ideas OF political orcaniza-
tion which they have entertained for so
long time.

E. V. Smalley, Washington correspon-
dent Of the ~ y Tribune. has come to
the conclusion that there is serious disaf.
fection among Republican members of
Congress. He is an ardent admirer of
the Presidents policy, but he writes as
follows:

face, and present them to the public.
The President Is without organized sup
port in Congress, and the Democratic

ward him than the Republican. Go to

party chiefs on both sides, and you hear

The editor of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat has been to Washington City,
and he says:
fnd that, ignoring the grand division
into two parties-Republican and Demo
cratic-the assembled political wisdom
of the Nation may be divided into three
distinct classes: /. Those who indorse
what the President has done, but deny
his title to the office of President; ..
Those who defend the Presidents title
TO his Office, but do not indorse the poll
cy--or rather the impolicy-of his Ad-
ministration; 3. Those who defend both
the title and the policy, and enjoy in re.
turn a lively sense Of favors 20 come. ]
think this is a fair analysis / certainly
have not vet seen Democrat who did
not dispute the title, or a Republican
who did not denounce the policy, un-
less among the latter / include the
ephemeral breed of small politicians to
whose existence the sunshine of official
favor is a prime necessity.

hydra headed monster with two-iold

We have a third party in the West
called the "Greenback" party. 1t is
composed mostly Of sore-headed politi-
clans, men whose sole object is to gain
some kind Of political notoriety, and it
would please you very much, Alr. Editor,
to hear them talk on the financial situa-
ton They are the same men who a
short time since were weeping for those
days when silver and gold were circulating.
Now they don't want either. Itis greenbaX,
CreenbaX, greenbax. They want the
Government to make billions and loan il
to them at one or two per cent. They
want the whole bonded Indebtedness OF
this Nation paid of in 'greenbax," but
this party will live about as long as the
Granger party did.

As usual, Hayes and Evarts went back
on their word, and instead of appointing
the man chosen by the Pennsylvania del
egation, as they had solemnly promised
to do to the English mission, man by
the name of John Welsh, of Philadel-
phia, has been appointed. And now the
conundrum arises, "Who the ID is
John Welsh p He is not John Welch
of Athens, our Judge Of the Supreme
Court Of Ohio Judge Welch OF Ohio

Great Britain. The Hayes papers are
vigorously trying to tell the people who
this John Welsh is. And it appears that
he is a fat, respectable nobody, who

"What is the South going to DO asks
every thoughtful politician. The States
that went into the Rebellion and the
border States that were held back by
force are now, to all appearance, as solid
as a granite boulder From the Potomac
to the Rio Grande, there is only one par
ty. Nothing is left of the Republican
organization but few lonesome Federal
ofiice-holders scattered here and there,
and little oasis OF Union men in East
Tennessee. The carpet-baggers have re-
turned to the North, or have abandoned
politics, and gone to work with the in
tention OF identifying themselves with
the communities they once ruled, and
the vast, ignorant negro vote accepts with
contentment, or at least indifference, the
domination Of the intelligent whites, and
has no weight in public affairs except
here and there in the settlement of local
quarrels between white Clice seekers -
Current Republican opinion IN the North
is that this solidity is going to continue
for long time, and with this opinion
goes the apprehension that there are
purposes underlying it which patriotic
men will soon be called on to rcsIst-pur-
poses to tamper with the accomplished
results of the war; to establish a new
Southern oligarchy, to set aside the YER
dict of history, and make defeat more
honorable than victory, to pay rebel los
ses, and pension rebel soldiers--in short
to administer the Government in the in
terest of the eEtinguished rebellion
Evidently it is OF the first consequence
for politicians TO satisfy themselves
whether there be ground for this appre-
hension. No doubt many Republicans
firmly believe that such ground exists.
They take counsel Of their hopes as much
as their fears building taeir projects OF
future advancement on The chance OF ar
raging solid North against the solid
South, and prolonging sectional strife for
yet another generation"

went to Cincinnati last week to. have a

that he is doing well under treatment.
