threatened by the greatest dangers
(which we can hardly conceive vi to-
day after the danger is over won the
support of the monied men OF the
north by offering them financial priv
ileges in return for which they sup
ported the government, they became
the nations creditors.
AS Wycliff in the fourteenth CEN
tury, like an able statesman as he was,
profited by the strife between the no.
bles and the church. AS the reform
ers of the sixteenth century accom-
plished their object by division Of
their enemies, for the mobiles and pap
acy alike oppressed and robbed the
people. And as division in the
democratic party enabled Lincoln to
be elected by minority, SO dissen-
sion in the ranks Of the oppressors of
the people will cause division in the
republican party which will enable a
national party of the people, by the
people, and for the people to be elect
ed. For President Roosevelt and
Grand Vizar Hanna have not agreed
very well in times past and may not
again. The opposition is weakening,
crumbling under the weight of its own
rottenness. Pride Is poor substitute
for great principle and pride goeth
before a great fall" The republican
party has fallen into poor hands. The
mean jealousy of it's small-souled lead
ers shows itself in making war against
their ablest men. Blaine was disre-
garded and snubbed while secretary
of state under Harrison. Sherman
was froze out of the cabinet during
the Spanish war for not groveling to
these men. Reed, the ablest man In
the republican party, was ousted be-
cause he would not be the tool OF
Hanna and his accomplices. Their
love of power and their jealousy and
hatred of merit and worth was shown
during the Spanish war by, placing
Dewey under the orders of the COM
mander of the land forces in the
Philippines, who was tool OF the ad-
ministration and superseding General
Miles, commander-in-chief Of the
army, with such a man as Alger, sec
retary of war; In both cases the navy
and army disregarded the insane Or
ders, that were issued, and the admin
istration did not dare to enforce them
The course of the republican party is,
and has been for some time, suicidal.

A Brave Stand

+ Editor Independent: The stand
that The Independent takes on poll
tics is identical with that Of all true,
brave men. The fusion and campaign
of $50 was no means a failure. In
deed in that great fight the enemy re-
ceived his deathwound, as like ship
in a storm they had to throw every
thing overheard in order to win. The
fusion platform Of '96, reaffirmed in
1900, was a step forward, and it will
be the basis, the starting point for
the next forward movement Fusion
is all right if the dog wags the tail;
wrong if the reverse.
In the fourteenth century Wycliff
supported by public opinion allied
himself with the mobiles of England
in MS fight against the encreachments
of the papacy. Wycliff's aim was a
noble one, that of the mobiles was con-
fiscation of the church lands for them
selves. Wycliff believed in union
against the common enemy. 1t was
the same at the reformation. The
mobiles of northern Europe who COW
eted the lands of the church joined
with the reformers against the pap
acy. ..-.-.-. .-.-

THE REPUBLICAN WAR

 REFEREE.
The. Naming of a Eourth, and He 8 Member of the Lily White Faction, is
 Rumor.

Birmingham, Dec. 2.-(Speclal. .)-Repub- lican political talk is again active and the latest is that President Roosevelt is to be urged to appoint J. w. Dimmi of Montgomery. a leading lilly white Rs- publican, a fourth referee of Federal pat ronage in this State. This, so it would seem, means that some recognition may be given to the opposing forces to the sd- ministration. There is vigorous deni il among the lilly whites" as to the truth of these rumors.
 According to the talk to be heard now Chairman W. I. Wellman of the State Republican Committee will go to Wash ington next week to be present at the meeting of the National Executive Conn., mittee.
 There appears to be no doubt but that unless something Is done to bring the two interests together before the national con vention there will be two delegations to the convention from Alabama The ac- ton in the Fourth District will be fol lowed 1t is believed in all the other dis tricts.
 Unless some steps are taken looking to settlement of affairs. Republican poli- tics in Alabama promises to be the warm est ever known after the meeting of the National Committee in Washington this month. It Is a fight for control and each faction will exert every effort to win out
