The Washington Republican In dis
cussing the present splendid outlook for
the Republican party says: beyond
any doubt, 1t is mainly due to the clear,
conservative, and digniiled administra-
ton of President Arthur, to his excellent
appointments, and to his uniformly i'm
partial recognition of all elements Of the
Republican party. By his course he has
healed party discussions and won the
respect of the entire people. He has
made Republican success possible. He
might as easily have prolonged the situ-
alton of two years ago and made defeat
inevitable. The President has organ
lied victory out of defeat, and, we re-
peat, has made Republican success pos
sible. To refuse TO recognize this fact
would be blind stupidity, to deny the
President the full need of honor which
1t implies would be unspeakably mean,
and for the Republicans to make war
upon him is base ingratitude."

FAnd with hurrying feet,
To find in the shades of the forest Slades
A safe retreat.
The lcgions OF stars that had watched wearily,
Crept out Of sight,
Up rose the helm Of the advancing day,
And fast fed the night.
A fresh wind blew from the edge of the sea,
From the gates Of the east,
That splashcd the tide on the feet OF the land,
And in the light increased.
And the gittering tips OF a myriad spears
Shot up from the sea,
With guidons and pennants and lanccs OF light,
A splendor 10 see.
A hundred 1ags were upheld in the sky,
And unfolded there
BInn-rs OF light that glirnmercd and CLEANED

And the sea grew gold as a stool for his feet
To rest upon.
