FIGHTING FACTIONS.
The Buckeye Republicans All Out OF
S0rts.

CoLUNBUs, o., January T.-There is
lamentable lack OF harmony among the Re-
publican leaders in this State. one faction
is down on Governor Foster, and will do
its best 10 overthrow him as leader, with
view OF winning back the German vote.
The Governor is roundly scored for not
repudiating the work of the Legislature OF
his own party and bowling down to the de.
mands oil those engaged III the liquor traffic.
The Second Faction
and the largest aud roisiest, insists that
the Republican party was right III the po-
sitiun it took in the last campaign; that
the Germans are an ungodly, becr-swllllng
race: that the Pond law was right and the
Smith law right, and that there should be
more like them, and that sink or swim,
survive or perish, the Republican party
must keep up the war on the saloons and
for the sanctIty of the Sabbath. This fac
ton indorses Governor Fosters recon-
mendations, and insists that it is the duty
of this Legislature 10 do these things at
least:
/. Pass law taxing saloons.
.. Pass more stringent Sunday law.
8, Submit two am Indments to the Consti-
ton, one prohibiting the liquor traffic and
one licensing it, leaving the people to
choose between them.
The third faction is made up Of the hyp-
ocrites and the fellows who go in for pol
icy. Their plan is to do nothing, but TO
let the Temperance question alone. They
hope to satisfy tue temperance people by
telling them that the Legislature has no
power to legiSlate on this question and that
first constitutional amendment must be
submitted, granting such power to the Leg
islature. They hope that this will appease
the truly good while they can whisper to
the Liberals that there is no prospect that
the amendment can be adopted.
The meeting called for next week can with
much reas on be named "a gathering OF
Republicans for the purpose of concilia.
tion and harmony" That concessions will
be made ON both sides there can be no
doubt, as every one that has carefully con-
sidered the feeling that exists at the pre-
sent time is free to admit that unless
harmony and unity are restored and that
most speedily the holding State conven-
ton and the conducting of a campaign
under existing circumstances. would be but
matter OF form. in fact 4 useless waste OF
ime and money.
These factions must agree upon some
measure on the party will be. lost beyond
redemption.

that Keifer in his treatment of Belmont is
very imperious and boorish. He will re-
cognize him only when he is compelled to
do So and throws every obstacle in his
power in the way OF Belmont ID prevent
the latter being at all prominent. Exactly
what Keifer dislike grows out OF is mat
ter o. conjecture, but that IL exists and is
carried to an unwarranted extreme Is 4

Tomorrow the defence will commence
