THE New York Tribune says "a pat
ent fact in the present political situation
is that the Republican party is not only
stronger to-day than at any time since
the Inauguration of President Hayes,
but stronger than its most sanguine
friends could have hoped six months
ago." In view of this declaration, what
becomes of the reckless cry of the i'm
placables, that Hayes is running the par
ty. 1t is but the truth that whatever
danger of disaster to the Republican
party exists, is due to the efforts of
men in it who are trying to defeat the
President in carrying out the reforms
demanded and pledged in its platform.

Will Sign 1t.

The Washington RepuJl'ca4 of the
Sth, in leading article, says:
We now state upon what we regard rs high
authority that the Executive will sign the sill
YER bill whenever it shall be submitted to him.
He believes it to be Il measure demanded by
the business interests of the country and ma
jority of the people of the United States, ana
hence will cheerfully give it his official sane
ton.
1t is said, further, that the Bland bill,
with the Allison amendment. is not OBJ
jectionable to the President and ma
jority Of his Cabinet Evarts. Schurz
and Sherman are the only members who
oppose it. Whichever theory of its eff
feet upon the country is right, there
does seem to be a very decided and
overwhelming popular demand for the
silver dollar, and doubtless the Presi
dent prefers to acquiesce in it rather than
to further embarrass his administration
and put weapon in the hands Of his
enemies by vetoing it.

AMONG the members of the Chamberlain
Legislature in South Carolina was colored
man from Sumpter county who refused 10
stand at the bar of the subsequent Democratic
House and say he was sorry for what he had
done in the Republican Legislature HIS seat
was declared vacant and a new election was
ordered. This election took place not many
DAYS ago. and the man who would not say he
was sorry for clinginging to n Republican adj
ministration was elected by large majority,
and returns to the Legislature in triumph: The
Democrats are disgusted OF course, ana VIII
probably expeI him again .-Inter-Ocedn.
How is this; the Inter- Ocean has been
telling us for some time past that every
vestige of active Republicanism at the
South has disappeared in consequence
of the Presidents Southern policy We
remember that it published conspicu-
ously the apochyphal account of Sena-
tor Patterson's interview with President
Hayes, wherein the Senator was report
ed to have defed the President to name
one locality in the South wherein Re
publican Convention had been held
since the policy was set in motion. If
our recollection is not at fault, the In
ter Ocean, in an editorial paragraph
commenting thereon, laid particular and
triumphant stress upon the ridiculous
statement appended to the report of the
interview, to the effect that the Presi-
dent was COMPOUNDED and abashed by
the demand and could not answer it
Now we have the Inter- Ocean informing
us that in Senator Patterson own State
colored Republican has been elected
by $ large majority " and returns in
triumph to the Legislature. Now it
may be asking too much of the big guns
of the opposition that they deal fairly
and justly by the Republican President,
but we do think that they should try to
make their stories tally with each other.

In discussing the Indian war, the
REESE River Reveille has the follow
ing regarding General Conner
"Next to General Crook he is the
best Indian fighter who has ever
been engaged in that kind of war
fare in the far West. His prin-
ciple in fighting Indians is to fight
them Indian fashion-that is, am
bush, surprise and cunning, show
ing no quarter, Staying men, women
and children. In 1864 and 1865
he tackled the Bannocks, and
fought with them one engagement,
which was decisive enough to make
them sick of war. The battlefield
was on the banks Of the Red river,
in northern Utah. The Indians
were camped on one side of the
stream and Conner and his men on
the other. The details of the at
tack being arranged, the troops
forded the .stream in the night.
with Conner at their head, and
came down like a thousand of brick
on the camp of the sleeping and un-
wary Bannccks. The order was to
show no quarter, and none was
shown. The Indians we're cut
down as they rushed affrighted
from their wickiups, and shot while
fleeing for their lives, and in a short
space of time the plain on which
the camp was pitched was strewn
with dead and dying Indiars.
When the humanitarians in the
EaSt-who fancy that the indian
Of the West is a poor, abused angel
on learning Of this battle, raised
the cry Of barbarity, Corners reply
was that nits will grow to be lice,
and il you want to keep down the
lice you must kill the nits. These
very nits that Conner and his mel
sleW on the Red river, had they not
been killed, would now be lice, and
be numbering white men and tor
turing and outraging their wives
and children in The present Ban
mock war"
