 THE REPUBLICAN will continue its minlstrations forlhe benefit ofmankind in general and the New England public in particular, during the coming ye. in the liberal spirit and with the same high purposes that have marked it's course in the 'past. 1r some respects it expects to serve its titaanrY more acceptably than ever before.
 The political developments of he past year have abundantly justified THE RRruBLICANs recentat tltude toward public affairs, state and national The mon whom it has denounced and the mcasur that it has opposed have directly or indirectly brought defcat upon the republican party and carried the democrats into power, not because the country has special confidence in the latter but be- cause it e disgusted with republican rule.
 In this situation of affairs, THE REPUBLICAN finds cause for great rejoicing, mixed. 1t is true with some regret that in Massachusetts the independent voter has not tempered his zeal with broader intel. ligence and finer discrimination Out of this re- volt there will surely grow healthier condition oi the body qoi ic and a wiser, more honest administration of public interests. Weare nearer the achevment of re form in the civil service, in taxation and administration through the sweeping political change. Whether these reforms are to be finally and fully obtained throl gh new parties or by the awakening and puriication of the old organ lZauOpR IS not essential lndt tney must De TeAl- ized in some way for the salty and welfare of the republic is the vital fact. In lahoring to bring them about The Republican is and will be wholly independent of men, parties and factions recogniz- | ing ard using instruments, but bound to none
