There Is No Peace.
8 We don't want any harmony prop
osition unless it is rendered owe. the po-
litical grave of Don Cameron" The
sententious declaration contained herein
fairly indicates the position held by a
considerable portion of the disaffccted
element of the Republican party that is
Just now SO sadly torn up by internal
dissensions. The words quoted are from
letter which Mr.. Mckee, the chairman
of the Independents, produced and read
in response to an inquiry as to the prob
able course that would he pursued by the
recalcitrants now that the Stalwarts
have rendered series of propositions,
looking to the union of the party. There
is not much use denying that the scheme
proposed by Mr.. Cameron's committee
embodies very nearly all the points con
tended for by his enemies at the outset
Of the present difficulties, and which the
Stalwart chieftain at that time treated
with insolent disregard. Mr.. Mckee and
his colleagues in the anti Cameron party
will undoubtedly be put to some incOn-
venience in seeking for a pretext to
avoid the acceptance of the olive branch
that is held out to them with
every appearance of sincerity from
a sourcee that 50. lately bris-
tied with contempt. Surely change
has come over the spirit Of the Stalwart
dreams when the apparently inflexible
senator is found yielding to popular
clamOr that has fallen heedlessly upon
his ears ever since the convention that
nominated Beaver and his machine CO.
adjutors. We see the statement is made
that Cameron was compelled to yield his
well-known opposition to this new con.
vention scheme by President Arthur,
whose keen eye has not been slow to per-
ceive the danger that impends over the
Republican party in its present divided
condition here. No doubt this is so.
Mr.. Arthur is politician of prOverbial
shrewdness, who would rather bend than
break, and in this essential quality he
differs greatly from the Pennsylvania
senator whose Obstinacy and dOgged de :
termination to have his own way have
brought his party to the verge of disaster
from which escape isnOw apparently i'm
possible. For from the guarded utter
ances of the Independents, even since
the friendly advances just made to them,
it is pretty safe to conclude the peace
project will not be accepted. They
will still find .Ome way open,
or make one, to continue their war on
the regular organization. The destruc
tiOn OF Cameron, the smashing of the
machine" constitute the fundamental
object of their course. The acceptance
of this peace project, they seem to think
now, will defeat the very purpose for
which they have organized and for
which they have SO thoroughly equipped
themselves. Already they have found
flaws in the scheme as presented. Mat
ters of minor detail are discovered and
pointed out rs obstacles to All effective
union. While the real point in their
opposition is contained in the fact that
they want Beaver and his colleagues ab-
solutely Withdrawn without the oppor-
tunity of restoration. All other over
lures will be rejected, and this ore is not
considered among the possibilities. If
General Beaver gets off the ticket, as he
has av6wed his willingness to do ut any
time, it will be with the knowledge that,
he will I've rehOminated when the new
convention assemblies. And this is
just what the other side don't want.
The Philadelphia Erening IelegrG,h,
which voices the most aggressive spirit
Of the independents, not only demands
that the Regulars withdraw Beaver and
his Harrisburg colleagues, but insists
that Stewart and the other horticultural
hall candidates shall be endorsed, as the
only means of securing unity of action.
This would he harmony over the politl
cal grave Of Don Cameron y with 4
vengeance, and the suggestion of it
shows the existence of an irreconcilable
sentiment that it is futile to deal with
even should the outward sembance Of
union be reached which it is not at all
likely il will. a.,.a.
And 50 the breach will not he healed.
The Independents will still see or affect
TO see some mallgn purpose hidden under
the guise of friendship. Experience has
made them wary, and after their Conti-
mental hotel fi;.scO that no peace remains
save that which they must fight for:
Meanwhile it is pleasing to reflect that
the Democracy do not propose to depend
on Republican differences, nor to wait
for the settlement of Republican quar-
rels. The work of Democratic organi-
zatiOn is tO begin at once and is to he
pushed forward regardless of the divi
sions among the opposition. And this
is proper.a.. -. .,
