DISCoRD AMONG REPUBLICANS
some Things which Go tn show That
All u Not Lovely in the
Opposition Camp.

The republican brethren and their
organs are not mixing well these
days and are talking back at each
other, telling some plain truths that
hitherto 1t has been difficult to get
them TO acknowledge. The smaller
fry have been making faces at n
another for some time, even those
edited by the p~ostmasters getting
occasionally mixed up in the mess.
but their insignifcance was such that
hardly anyone took any notice OF
them. But now comes that stanch
and reliable organ of republicanism,
the Chicago Inter Ocean, and bella
bors Grosvenor, of Ohio, for his
speech at the Ohio republican con-
vention, when he said-but what ID
the use in quoting Grosvenor, he
would say anything. But what the
Inter Ocean says. however, is of con-
~equcnce for after falling foul OF
Grosvenor for saying what we Will
do" it declares that the 1--WE" in this
case means David Il. Henderson, John
Dalzeil and the delectable Grosvenor
himself, the majority of the house
committee on rules, who constitute
the house machine and dictate legis-
lation as long as their fellow-mem-
bers and the people do not revolt
against their domination"
But this is only the beginning Oh
the SHINING the triumvirate will get
at the hands Of the Inter Ocean ed
itor, for he wants to know what
gave Porto Rico free trade and pro-
duced the splendid results that the
boastful Grosvenor speaks Of, and
then This republican organ inquiries;
"Was it the Observation-Disclosures
Dalzell triumvirate?" And h an
swer IS: Certainly not. Its aims
were free rum md taxed bread. Only
by a moral revolt of the people
against this programme we're Tree
trade and a measure of prosperity Sc
cured to Porto Rico"
But this is not all the sad tale o.
pickering between the brethren, 10
that Independent republican newspa

enjoy the telling about it, and com
ments as follows:

put this in stronger shape. And he
is more plain talk from the sar
