In Power TOO Long Alrcn,Iy

The Republican party, at the close
Of the national administration, will
have been in power in the executive
branch Of the government for "a con,
secutive years, and in all of its
branches for most Of the time during
that period. 1t has been in power
long cnough-too long for the good
of the country. 1t should now be
made to retire, and submit the books
and records Of its doings to q thorough
public inspection. As q natural con.
sequence of too long q retention Of
place, it has become Indifferent to its
duties and obligations. Extrava.
gance, waste and corruption have
crept into every department of the
public service. The leaders of the
party have come 10 regard the gov.
eminent as their exclusive property
and the offices as their personal per.
quistes. They assume to be the
masters instead of the servants Of the
people. Their tone is insolent, their
action domineering, their methods
corrupt and demoralizing. They
place the interests Of their party
above those of the country. They
shape their policy with sole reference
to party success. They are not dis.
posed TO surrender power even at the
command of the people. In 1867,
by fraud and iinosse they managed to
retain control Of the government ma
chinery, despite the popular verdict.
At the present moment they are pros
tituting the whole power of the gov
eminent to perpotuate their rule
They are leyying assessments upon
the army Of ofiice-holders for this
pun pose'
The contest at the coming election
is to be between the stipendiaries Of
the government on the one hand, and
the people on the other;-the one to
keep control and the other TO dis.
lodge them. If the people can not
regain control Of their government
at the present trial, the question
arises can they ever hope to do so?-
In the pending struggle 1t behooves
the friends Of an honest elective gov
eminent, to array themselves on the
side of the People and against the OF.
fce.holders.-Nc,0 Age.
