The Happy Family.

The happy family, or dog-in-the-
manger-party, the Republicans,
held another meeting last night to
fill vacancies left in their ticket, oc-
casioned by the resignation of nom
inees at the former convention.
They took more p0triotic day for
the completion Of their ticket, think
ing, perhaps, the occasion would
inspire the "ragged-edge" with more
patriotism and zeal for the coming
political fight. But how sadly they
are disappointed. The same old
bull dog growl, and teeth showing
is exhibited by the factional
party to-day that has been all along.
What happy family they are, to
be sure. The big Ingin has put on
bis war paint, and all the little In
gins have blood in their eyes and
are going for the scalps Of their enc
mics if they don't fall in line. They
had better hurry up or they'll be
left out in the cold altogether. 1t
won't do to kick in the traces now,
you must fall in line and keep time
with the music If you want to enjoy
the picnic.
II the colored brethren are good
enough to vote and win the victory
over their common enemy-the
Democrats, and good enough to
rule over them-why not good
enough socially to affiliate with
them in political conventions, etc. ?
Where is the consistency or sinceri-
ty then, of their political principles.
The coIored man is becoming more
and more enlightened, and as he does
SO, he demands something more of his
party than to be mere "hewers OF
wood and drawers of water, "and it is
just here where the shoe pinches his
white friends foot. When he begins
to demand his rights as one of the
constituent parts Of his party, and
as one Of the great ruling elements,
he becomes obtrusive to this better
element, and they say they won't
mingle with the dirty, ignorant mig
ger.' The question then arises
sswhat are we going to do aboutit?''
Why. they solve the question by
saying, of the two evils We will choose
the least-and elect the Democrat
10 ticket. And this is the extent Of
their party fealty, their patriotism,
and their principles. Like Samp
son Of old, the great secret of their
strength and power has proved their
greatest weakness, and they are now
like the house divided against it.
