coughs, colds, Group, hoarseness, and
is indispensable TO orators and vocal

REpUBLICANS At THE SOUTH.

General LOngstreet thinks " the only chance of
"there ever being Republican party III the
"South is to carry Virginia. There is going to be
ga strong effort to carry it in the next election
"If it is not carried then, the last chance of the
Republicans in the South will be lost in Gen
eral Longstreet's opinion. But what had the
Republicans in the South to gain from the sue
cess of the Malone Readjusters9 How could it
be said that their success would have given the
Republican party chance, and that their failure
next year would take its last chance awayT
There is but one sense in which this can possibly
be true. If Bourbon Democracy intends and
has the power to suppress free voting n the
South, and the Malone party is the only one
that can combat that tyranny with success, then
it NAV be said with truth that such Republican
party as may exist in cooperation with the Ma
hone Readjusters might prevail if they could
prevail.
But is that Republican party Can it bessaid
that Republican principles are in harmony with
the aims of the Readiusters or can in any way
be promoted by their success9 1t must be
confessed that this is not quite clear. The
Readiusters do not claim to accept Repub
lican principles They are at war with the
maintenance of public faith. Four-hfths of
the Republicans in the country consider the
course of General Malone and his associates
Objectionable 1t is hard to see how Republic
can convictions as to financial questions can
be reconciled with the position taken hitherto
by the Malone party. They seek freedom of
elections, and that is good thing; one which
Republicans everywhere seek. But would Re-
publican principles be in any way promoted
otherwise by the success of the Malone party7
At the North, the Republican party would
inevitably be weakened by such dependence
upon Readiusters at the South. And the Re-
publican party must look for its votes to the
North. Its chance Of getting any electoral
votes from the Southern States Is small
at the best, and would be improved by the
Malone party only if it should openly espouse
the cause of Republican candidates, which it
has not yet done. Nor is it at all sure that the
Malone party could keep itself together as a
poitical force in the Southern States if it should
openly espouse the cause of Republican candi-
dates. At the utmost, few electoral votes at
the South might possibly be gained by depend
ing upon this sort of aid, but 1t would be at the
risk of losing many more at the North.
The Republican party has no business to dis
regard its principles and pledges. 1t has some
strength because of its fidelity to those princi
pies, and for no other reason. No one can guess
how much it would lose by depending upon an
alliance deemed by the Northern voters be-
travail of its convictions. When the Malone
party is ready to advocate Republican principles,
openly and without reservation, honorable and
advantageous alliance is possible. Until then,
the Republicans had better look to the intelli-
gence and the convictions of Northern voters
for success, as they have done hitherto.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-12-15
BE PATIENT WITH THEN.

We trust that the Democracy of the rest Of
the country will not be angry with the DEM
Ocrats of this, the greatest of the Democratic
strongholds because of their failure to exclaim
with their brethren that the Republican party
must go.
The failure is due primarily to THE TRIB-
UNE. We are entirely to blame. We have not
remarked that the Democratic party must go.
Oh, no. We have simply laid bare a state of
things demonstrating that Democratic admins
tratiOn in this metropolis was a curse to the
metropolis, since it meant a wicked and utterly
inexcusable misuse of the public money. We
have made it so clear that he who runs may
read that the taxpayers have been and are
being robbed in order that certain political
favortes may grow rich. The consequence of
our exposure has been to strike the local Dem
ocracy dumb, so far as weeping over the alleged
sins of their political opponents is concerned.
They have been furnished with proof conclusive
that the beams i'll their own eyes are unusually
well developed, and for the present they are
giving their whole time to the contemplation Of
these embarrassing beams. Hence they have
no time to insist that the Republican party must
go or if they perchance have any leisure for
the exercise, they cannot summon the necessary
brass.
They are aware that no one of our damaging
statements in relation to Mr.. Commissioner
ThOmpsOn's scandalOus methods of conducting
a great department has been shown to be I'M
warranted. They are aware, too, that these
statements have attracted the public attention
all over the United States, and are regarded
as most valuable as showing the condition
and tendency of the Democratic party to-day
in New-YOrk city where it has free course.
What use does it make of its great opportuni-
ty2 The facts that THE TRIBUNE has dragged
to light answer this question.
No wonder the local Democracy has nothing
particular to say just now, and yet silence is a
confession of party unworthiness.
