By the time the republicans of the country
arc all taught that party success depends on
breaking up senatorial caucuses, and dOtting
the country all over with democratic governors
the nominees of the party will be able to So
cure the votes of all those who favored their
nomination. If We had reached that state OF
perfection in 1880 how would the presidential
election have resulted.
