If we can find man whose record Is part OF the

measure of public uSefncSS and eminenee; a mar
whose conservative wisdom has earned the conn
| dence of the business world; man whose modest
generosity has escaped tile venom OF rivalry ant
the poison of disappointment; If we can find suct
man we can not only elect HIM president bu
with his name We can permanently restore the

The Republican party is approaching the crisis
of its history 1t is perfectly evident that there
are Republican voters enough in the United
States 10 elect president not counting the neigh
borhOOds where the judges of election are author
lied to cast tile vote of the township. 1t is equally
certain that unless the party can subdue the noise
of faction, and dissolve the partnership or pre1l
dice and malice, we need II solicitor in bankruptcy

camp of the enemy.
But we need not send for lgnatius Donneiy to
decipher the presidents message, the old plat

common interest. With the east il is a question
Of something to eat. With the west it is for the
present question Of somebody to feed
For thirty years the Democratic party has
pose Even the period Of the civil war, a time
when the minds of men in every hamlet felt tho
contagiou of great thoughts, and mems hearts by
nearly every hreside trelnbltd with the breath OF
inspired purposes, even such n time suggested
nothing to the Democratic party except con
fused notion that somebody wa" violating the con
