WERE THE REPUBLICANS DECEIVED?
The point made by Boutelle and Kasson
when the bill TO repeal the test oath passed the
House, that there was clause in it which
was much more sweeping than Cox permitted
the House to understand, has recsived much
attention BY the Republican Senators. and one
of The nost distinguished members of the Sem
ate judiciary committee expresses the opinion
that the majority OF the Republican members
of the House Were deceived by their desire to
merely Abolish the test oath into passing bill
which was much more sweeping than they
had supposed. This Senator is himself in "a
vor Of repeating the test oath pure and simple,
but no does not approve of breaking down ali
the barriers which have been placed toward
ee Remittance into the army and navy of,
thSSe who abandoned them to join the rebellion
andwhose disabilities have not been removed.
L. may be a matter Of construction whether
the IN Cox bill as it passed the House would do
fnis, hut the Republican Senators do not pro-
posS 10 AXE any risks of such court construc-
ton, as many Of them believe that the bill il
enacted would have the effect to repeal all
tne stS.utes which now prevent the entrance
Of ex.oon!eaeFases into the army and navy, and
to full citizenship. Tha test oath reneal bill
will undoubtedly pass the Senate, but without
any suspicious clauses, and the Houea NAV be
called upon to do over the work which it did
with SO much enthusiasm and with but eleven
dissenting Republican votes last week. The
point made by Mr.. Kasson that the clause
might mean what it is now thought it did
mean, was never satisfactorily answered by
Mr.. Cox, who seems, before closing his
speech, to have forgotten to return 10 it.

To the Editor of the Press:
AS the time for holding the National Repub-
mean Convention draws nigh and the names of
Inherent men are being brought forward. II
seems to me the voice of the people should be-
heard with no uncertain sound, that the poi-
ticians may take note of it.
1t is fact which is very patent to sill
that the man to carry the Republican party to
victory In the next campaign must be- man
who best represents the advanced thought of
the time and who has the entire confidence of
the people. And the selection of this man
should not be left to any crowd of ward poli.
ticians or caucus manipulators.
With this prelude, allow me as one of the
people 10 say that in my humble opinion, Geo.
It. Edmunds of Vermont is the man who il
neare st in sympathy with the wishes of the
people and today stands head and shoulders
above all other prominent leaders in the Re-
publican party. A statesman, not politician.
man OF liberal ideas and large plans. who ii
elected to the high Office of PRESIDENT. would
guide the ship OF state WIN a tirm hand and
would be quick to respond to the popular
will.
With such man as leader of the forces we
need have no fear that the mission of the Re-
publican party is ended" or that "the G. o. p.
is on its last legs'', as gentlemen on the other
sideof the house so eager to have us believe.
True 1t is, as every reasonable man is ready to
acknowledge, that many of the questions
which have divided the two parties have
have been settled forever, And
the principles for which the Repub-
licans have fought, they are no longer fighting
for because they have been established
And although the questions have been set
tied, still the men who have advocated the
principles of the Republican party are still in
that party to large extent and their descend
ants are there.
No doubt there are man in the Republican
party and even in the halls of Congress, who
are SO tenacious Of their own pet ideas that they
do not keep pace with the times and will not
respond to the popular will. But let us all re-
member that elections are frequent in this
country ana such men can be relegatsd to pri-
vate life and their places filled by others and
younger men, who are more in sympathy with
modern ideas of free government "For the
people and by the people,"
Nominate good leader, close up the ranks
and with the memory of past victories to spur
us on we VIII return to the charge with re-
doubled vigor.
Young REPUBLICAN.
