Eyes the organization was complete. The Re-
justify schism if it could be avoided without sac
ri6cng the principles of the party The effort for
harmony will be made temperately, so that for It's
failure the President alone will be responsible. OF
the thirty-fve committee men perhaps not even
three would apologize for Louisiana and South
Carolina. These occurrences are recognized simply
as facts The spirit of the caucus was that the
Republican party represents issues as broad and
vital as ever From the first il has been a war be-
tween two civilizations between republicanism and
arstOcracy, between progress and reaction. If the
leaders of the late slave States had been wise
enough TO profit by their experience, or accept the
new forms of society created by the war, they
might have had power within their grasp. Every
day indicates their spirit and gives admOnitiOns to
the American people that what is called DemOc-
racy offers neither peace stability The aspects
of the situation were fully understood by the Re-
publican caucus. The experience of the past chas-
tened spirit of just resentment. The Republican
party is no longer without q head or without n
purpose If President Hayes will kindly accept its
leadership it will be cordially rendered to mm but
with or without him, the men who organized last
Tuesday are determined to march into victory"
The President is reported to have said to friend,

Sarcent's resolution proposed shall be TeScnded.
