political action. What does he moan by
that? Does he mean the ground taken
by Gen. Beatty at Columbus Not much.
How any man not an inmate Of the
Asylum can say he desires the success of
the Republican party, and at the same
time approves of the action of Hayes, IS
marvellous. The first action taken by
Hayes as President, was to ignore Re
publicans, and put into his Cabinet, as
his advisers, one unrepentant rebel, who
says to-day that he does not believe Hayes
was elected; he put in Schurz and Evarts,
who fought politically, with all their
great ability, in 1872, to defeat and
destroy the Republican party. Then
President Hayes issued that order
to Office holders, that they must not work
for the Republican party, either by per.
senal effort, or by contributions in money.
Any man outside of the Asylum knows
that it takes personal effort, and also
money, to keep up any great organiza-
ton, whether political or religious Take
an illustration. Suppose some one OF the
great church organizations-the Metho-
dist for instance, should conclude that
the best way to convert sinners was to
conciliate them, and should appoint Bob
Ingersoll one of the Bishops, and that
the Presiding Elders, Preachers, Glass
Leaders, Stewards, &c, should be select
ed from among the beerjerking Dutch
infidels, who have always sneered at the
church, and who spend their Sabbaths IN
reveling and drunkenness, and dancing
to the braying of brass-bands. And sup
pose further, that the executive authorl-
ties of the church should order that no
officer of the church, from Bishop down
to Sabbath School teacher, should be
asked for cent of money to aid in main
tanning the church organization, and that
no such officer should ever be permitted
to attend at Conference Glass meetings
Lovefeast. &c. Suppose the church
should make such DEGREES, and Gen.
Grosvenor were member Of that church,
and should say that course was exactly
right, and met his hearty approval, and
also, that he desired the success of that
church. AS it is well known that Gen.
Grosvenor is not fool, would not all the
world say that he was knave2 And yet
he takes the same ground as to the action
of the Republican party, that we have
supposed in the case of the church.
One matter has been settled for thou
sands of years. 1t is expressed in various
ways, such as this: You cannot serve two
masters; you cannot carry water on both
shoulders you cannot ride two horses at
the same time, while they are taveling in
opposite directions; house divided
against itself cannot stand.
If the Republican State convention
shall indorse Hayes, one hundred thou
sand Republicans will not vote the tick
et They will conclude that if such reb
els as Key, Fitzsimmons, Waldron, Mich
oils, Wade Hampton, and the host Of
others whom Hayes has put into office
must be the rulers of this country, that
Democrats, not Republicans, should put
them into Office. If the convention shall
pass Republican resolutions, and not re
fer to Hayes, it will be kicking him in
the rear, and slapping him in the face
If the convention shall pass no resolu
tions, it will send the party out like send
ing a man into business after taking out
his brains, backbone and heart.
We see nothing but defeat for the Re
publican party.
