DEMOCRATIC hatred of General Gran I
is something we cannot understand" re-
marks the truly good editor of a religious
weekly. 1t might help our esteemed
contemporary to aclearer comprehension
of this problem if he were to apply his
leisure to the study of natural history in
general and ornithology in particular.
He would learn that in ancient days, when
time was young, when birds conversed as
we'll as sung, the vultures never held q
convention, either district, state, or ma
tional, without formulating and adopting
a platform declaratory Of their impacabfe
hatred Of the eagle. But that proud bird
of the mountain did not permit either
his spirit or his feathers to be rufiled on
account of vulturine malice. On the
contrary he maintained his dignity in
serene grandeur, treating the vultures
with silent contempt, as General Grant
treats his defamers. But the vultures
hadn't sense enough to appreciate the
rebuke; nor do their imitators feel as
wise men would under the contempt of
q great nature.

One Republican Party Only.

With one Republican party, gaining re-
cruits all the time from the opposition,
there is a certainty of success in the
struggle next year for a new House of
Representatives. With two Republican
parties, fighting each other instead of the
enemy, there is q certainly Of defeat in
that struggle.
The course Of the Administration is
rapidly tranquilizing the party, as it
has the country. The order and
method at the White House are
contagious. All who see the Presi-
dent find him courteous, independ-
ent, and direct. He is skillful pilot,
and never had pilot stormier or more
perilous task than had he to get the ship
of state safely out of port. Our country
is going to be interested in matters of
more concern than the bandying of epi-
thets between Republican factions. We
hope and believe that the only Republi-
cans who will be looked on with disfavor
will be those who disturb the peace.
We can see restored and united Nation
in 1885, with no party in it sulking be-
cause there is no confederacy and no
slavery. But this cannot be if we have
two Republican parties instead of one, as
we have had for ten years past,
The organization of the House gives
good earnest that friendly contests are
possible within the party. The great
prize Of the speakership was carried off
by the choice of the majority, and no one
has seen any frowning faces because of
it. The committees soon to be announced
will no doubt be so selected that no one
will be able to say that power was used
ungraciously, or defeated candidates de-
MED the honorable posts usually assigned
to them. The friendly association of
Republican Representatives with each
other during the long session will, it is to
be hoped, promote something of the old
time fellowship, which will be by them
communicated to their constituencies.
1t is long time since the party outlook
was so favorable as now.
