Perhaps "disloyally" scarcely express.
ses the feeling which is even now en-.
tertalned toward the government. In
. this feeling there is Indignation, the
modification OF having been BETRAYED
by party friends-for we are speaking
for rePubiicans-the sorrow that al
tends the shadow of a great calamity.
anu the fear that haunts the presence
OF threatening danger that we can
not avert. 1t is feeling deeper than
mere party resentment. Upon apy
ordinary question we could have ac.
cepted the triumph of the democracy
and the defeat OF the republican or
yahization with the equsnimity that
char.cterlzes Jealous partisans IL
meeting party reverses. Next day
our shattered ranks would reform,
and the line of battle be closed M
for new contest. But this Chinese.
veto came to US as surprise. 1t came
70 us from our own party president,
ana Ill his reasonable and cowardly
blow he was and is sustained by our
most able leaders in tho senate of the
United States-those who have here.

honored. Had the Chinese question
been new one. we would have been

We had fought out this contest in two
national conventions; we had elected
two presidents upon well-defined
issue. This question is, to u certain
extent, local one. California had
been the battle-ground of the conflict.
We had watched every movement
from the beginning. We led the for

When President Hayes unexpectedly
vetoed the first bill, we were indig-
nant aud angry. Recovered from our
oisappolntment. We were generous
enough to admit that. in his narrow
minded ignorance, he might have |
yielded to honest convictions. The
sting OF our resentment Was drawn
