Party Dissensions.

The thick and Thin Republican jour
mails are doing their utmost to make ii
appear that there are disseusioBs among
the Democrats in congress on the tariff
question. There is unquestionsbly some
difieren' o Of opinion among DemocTa
tic congressmen hs 10 the extent TO
which Ae proposed reduction OF the
tariff should be carried, but there Is 70
substantial agreement among them that
there ought 10 be IA considerable fedue-
ton. A few favor postpouemeDt OF
the matter until next year, but these
concede the necessity for revision or
the tariff.
Until the committee OF ways and
means shall report a tariff bill 10 tho
house it will be impossibls for even q
Republican editor TO know whether or
not the Democrats in congress will divide
on the question. The Republican jour.
mails are therefore just little premature
n their declaration that there is a con.
iiici raging among the Democratic con
gressmen who differ. not 10 principle
but IN policy, on The subject of tho
tariff. Those journals betrsy an anxiety
in regard to this matter which shows
that they have but little hope thst theiv
patty will be able to win the presidency
from Il united Democracy.
The truth is that the Republican
party is not by any means harmonious
on the subject Of the tsrG The brains
OF the party are on the side Of the re
venue reformcrs. The professors in the
New England colleges. notable among
them Professors Sumner and Seelye, arc
outspoken free traders. And yet these
learned men ate Republican, The
leading Republican pulpi,eers, who have
been uccustomed TO preach politics, arc
OF the same way OF ihinkirg. The
ablest Republican newspapers, As for
example the New York Tass, Il e New
York Eyniag P5''. the Buffalo EJJrelz
and the Chicago TtiJune, are either
earnestly opposinf protection or labor
ing outright for the establishment OF
free trade principles. Excepting tho
Ne~ York I7iuas and the Chicago Inter
ra-ra here is no, a Republican journal
OF large circulation which aayocates
protection for the sske of protection.
The sm4l..iry Republican neWfpspeTs
are therefore fain to console themselves
w.,h the hope that the Democrats will

hence the Trofuse shedding cf ink to

How The Democrats "Blunder. i"

The Republican, as well as certain
"Independent" papers, take special de.
light in pretending that the Demo.
,rAts are continually "blundering."
they keep their courage up all the year
around by their shivering iun on this
subject, and when the elections are
over and their banners are trailing ia
the mud they hysterically proclaim
that the Democrats have sgsin "blund.
cred" into victories. They play 20
continuously on this string, that even
many Democrats themselves are partly
persuaded that such is the fact. Hence
let us see what kind of "blunderingr
the Democrats have been guilty of in
only the last three or four years.
They have held their own in the
United States Senate
They have changed the United
States House of Representatives from
a Republican body of IL majority, to a
Democratic one Of II majority;
They have elected a Democratic
