thu fire he k1ndlcd, and which blazcd for awhflo

that the patience Of tho country Is exhausted
with this ptrpetnal effort to sustain tho Rcpuh-
1lcan party upon tho traditions, anlnostlcs, and
prcludiccs Of tho War; that, aboyo nil things,
the country now demands peace and concord on
tho basis Of Justice to whito and black, to I'm

The power Of pnblio sentiment, which was
demonstrated in tho passage Of the Law cre-
ating tho Electoral Commission. snd again
III compelling the defeated party to abide by
the results of that law, was once more
brought to bear at a critical period when The
Cabinet nominations were pending in tho
Senate. There Is good reason 10 believe
that tLe formation Of an anti-Administra-
Lon faction among the Republicans Of
the Senate Was at oue time serious
Iy contemplated, md that The violation
OF all precedent iu the reference OF the nomi-
ua,ions to tho various Committees was In
tended o. direct afront To President HArEa.
