THURSDAY EVENING, MAY i.

WHEN THE republican party shall throw
off Its sectiopalism and become nstionai
organization, to which men OF the South
can belong without regulating and dishonol-
inc the cause for which they fought and the
chosen captains who led them, there shouid
be no celebration in the South to which
m smbers of that party should not be inVt-
ted. But as long as the republican party
continues to denounce the Confederate flag
as 1.-The emblem of treason" and General
Lee as q ''rebel," declines to show ordinary
respect to the memory of an ez-Seoretsry OF
War because he had been the President OF
the Confederacy, end persistently refuses TO
repeal the statute prohibiting ex.Confeder-
ates from holding commissions In the Uni-
ted States army, just SO long should invita-
tions to attend Southern celebrations be
confined to democrats, because democratic
belong to a national, and not to sectional
organic alton, to party that believes With
General Grant that the war being over
there should be peace. Certainly no invi
tation to attend the unveiipg of the Lee
statue at Richmond should be sent to an!
ex.Confederate who has joined the repubi
can party, for from time immemorial it hai
been known that birds which foul their oWr
nests are uncIean things.
