FREE TO FIGHT.

Notable among the dissentients from party
rule, organization and discipline were Salmon
> Chase, William n Seward, James r.
Doolittle, and Frank P. Blair. More lately,
Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner, Carl Schurz
. aud Jacob d. Cox went off among the disaf
rocted and joined their fortunes to the So
called Liberals and Independents. In almost
every instance of disaffection, personal am
1ition or personal disappointment was the &C
Mating cause. The word most commonly
enpoyed by these deserters to excuse their
,rcachery was "Reform." AS a matter of
course, each one of these distinguished men
.ook with him less or greater number of
blowers 1t is notable, however, that the
majority achieved by the Republican Party
n 1868 and 1872 was much more decided,
without the cooperation of these malcontents
shan it was in 1876 when they were stimu-
ate to "renew their allegiance" by the pres
once of one of their kidney as the Presiden-
tial nominee of the Cincinnati Convention.
1t is remarkable that even in Ohio, the very
hot-bed of Chase-ism and self-styled Liberal
ism the nomination of a candidate for the
Presidency who invited Carl Schurz to COM
pose his letter of acceptance, the party was
rarely able to carry the day. The subsequent
election, that of 1877 for Governor and
legislature, illustrated only too sadly, the
failure of Liberal reform to gain the conf
dcnce and procure the satisfaction of the peo
lie
The fact is, and is so known and recognized
that this cry of Reform was mere specious
cry OF the malcontents. Hayes and his Re
CORNERS have been i'll power for but little
more than a year, and already they have
abandoned as impracticable, vague and illu
sorry every theory and plan Of their ayowal.
rhvy have shown not only that there
vas nothing to reform, but that
themselves were worse than sterile in
advancing any theories for the reformation of
,hc Government. The last and most con-
spr1rus confession Of failure is the promul-
,ariou by cabinet officer of political ad
drc.~ 70 the voters of the South as against an
ac- uf Congressional elaboration.
\ distinctive feature of Mr.. Hayess . re-
.ollu was that no Federal official should in
-erferc with State politics Is not Cabinet
,tlirrr also a Federal officer!
For more than a year Dolly Nardenism has

The term Radical is no longer synon-

Cause.
Republicans who have stood by their par

almost us good standing at the White House
- the promoters of the Greeley farce in 1872.
Also, be it said That with the excel
tent opportunities had by a Democratic
House Of Representatives to investigate
-hc official deeds done i'll the name of
he Republican Party ever since its acces-
ion to power in 1861, not one thing has been
3.hown, much less proven against it "Grant-
san was one of the bugbears of the rotten
press which promoted the venomous assaults
f the Liberal and Independent malignants
What speck or blot rests on the name or ad-
suinistration of President Grant Does any
man now, dare to bring Hayes in contrast
with him!
"Bayonet rule has been done away with
in the South. Does Hayes think that he
would, were he a candidate for reelection
