be expected when the time is proptious

viii be uttered by many lips which have
formed nothing but curses for Regu-
liar Republicans. But an OF these ef-
forts, whether threats or Establishments
should be calmly received and duly
weighed. The character of the party
and the men back Of them must be
lcarefully considered.
And Regular Republicans should not
forget for an instant that they have
their battle almost won. For them to
yield am inch after having fought so
heroically for twelve years would not
only show lack of courage. but lack
Of sufficient intelligence to accurately
grasp the situation.
The Union Republicans know that
they cannot count ON dollar for cam
paign expenses from the source from
which they have learned to expect It;
land without it, their organization goes
TO pieces. II may yet materialize, but
the uncertainty Is worrying them. Soon

Possibly the oniceholders could raise
this sum- but they win hardly give

In this campaign 1t is possible to
lcleau up and clean out the dirty mess
which has afflicted us, but it cannot be
done by anillauon with the very ele-
ments we despise or affect TO despise.
And, too, good sense and good politics
are not always antagonlstic. Both
