The Republican party is struggling for life. II
cannot long survive. Its extended incumbency
was due to the fears and doubts succeeding the
civil conflict. These fOrebodings have been re
moved by time and thought, and honest opinion
in spite of Illegal force openly used, notwith
standing criminal efforts defeating the public

unworthy servants from Office and has sum
moned to power administration to which nc

again intrust this government to the Democratic
party. That that organization has accomplished
so much, Notwithstanding the continued oppo
