Senator Morton and the President. ]
The following editorial appeared IN the
indianapolis Journal a few days ago,
which expresses Senator Morton's views
! upon the duty of Republican Congress
men to sustain Hayes sadministra. ion,
and issdeemed important atthis iuncE,lre,
when the Senate is hesitating il its
course. The article was read to Morton,
and met his hearty approval 30
While there are few Republicans who
can give full and hearty endorsement
toseyery act and declaration made by the
Preside which go to make up awhas are
known as his Southern and civil service
policies, yet we have seen nothing which,
taken separately or collectively, would
Justify the Republicans in distrus ling
either his patriotism or his Republican
ism. There seems to be 9 feeling on the
5 part of those who disapproye of certain
acts of the President that they are better
Republicans: and more faithful to the
! principles Of the party than he. Such
assumption does injustice to the Presl,
dent. He is anoriginal Republican, and
has been tested for twenty years as 9. SOL
dier and civilian, and. has never wal tered
or has been found wanting in his tievo-
tion to- the great fundamental doctrines
os the Republican party. He was elec-
ted as Republican, aud it is impossible
for him, with the present organization OF
parties, even il. he should desire, So5be
other than a Republican President not
in an offensive partisan sense, but ,iii his
deyotio to the principles and desire for
the perPetnity of the party ,s-.-e1-'-.3 So
Until it is demonstrated that ha has
not this devote ions and this desire, tha: Re-
pnblicans in Congress should not break
with him in mere questions OF policy,
President Hayes has most difficult roIs,
and instead ofssreceiying the nnfriandly
criticisms and attacks Of his psfty friends,
Shs should have their support.and be CIV
EN- their best and truest advice. The
Presidents paramount duty is t's the
country, and If he were to place. simple
marty success above public interest," he
would render, himself hateful to every
riight-minded man and infamous in his
tory. We do not suppose that single
one of the Republicans who difes with
him on questions Of policy would AK the
President in plain terms to, assume such
position, and yet they do this in effect
when: they denounce shis policy because
Of the damaging effect itEEmay haye. on
/ the party, without reference to its Eroba.
Bile effect upon the higher intere -ts Of
the country. The; President is in the
best possible position for knowing what
Ought to be done. He is acting under q
solemn oath. Heismore largely respon-
sible than any other living man for the
consequences of his acts, and having de-
cided upon q certain course as.essantlat
8 to the public welfare, that course should
not be obstrncted by his; party friends,
unless it is in plain conflict With the
principles Of Repnbl blicanism. He is GER
tainly not, in his position OF President,
: the mere creature Of Congress, and should
not be the mere tool of party. = i 81
