It's indulgence for a party with

Necessity of Opposition.

Political parties are the result
of human weakness. The world
was yet young when men dlscov-

PEELED the formation of political
parties, at different stages of
the worlds history and known by
different names. There has never
been a ruler without a censor. save
at the cost of all liberty. The best
governed coun. ries of the earth
are those where the political par
ties are the most evenly divided,
and hence where changes of adj.
administration and responsibility

not likely to. corrupt, and the Re
publican party of the United States
is no exception to the rule. All
parties need watching, and hence
they need the Argus eye of a hostile
organization leveled in their
direction. To be kept in the path
OF rectitude they must have some
one near TO point out their mis-
takes. We submit these observa-
tons for the benefit of our Repub.

there should be none but RepubI
cans elected to office.
