Lessons i'll Politics.

Whatever of disappointment has come
to the Republican organization in Ohio
and Pennsy lvania WAS due to the selfish
ness of a few party leaders, who thought
they owned every Republican in their
respective states 1t is idle aud almost
diotic to claim great Turning from the
Republican To the Democratic side in
such cases. Unless truthful men have
turned liars of a sudden, Quay rule IN
Pennsylvania aud Hanna rule in Ohio
were not of the purest kind In both
states the miuorites have made frequent
and emphatic protests, but 80 skilled
were Messrs. Hanna and Quay in pre-
sentng their virtues and in concethng
their sins that they were supreme while
they lived But when their weakling
successors tried to stand in their shoes
and attempted the tricks of their old
masters, they were conspiculously unfit
for the tasks and made Illuminating fail
ures
From the beginning this paper has
commended for purity in politics. 1t has
asked for honesty and decency and fair
treatment for all men. AS a rule, we
believe that the Republican party is cap
able of purifying itself without having
W dbh lOI any dlu ITOID lDt ObInocTdCN,
but when the situation becomes acute
and dangerous, even an application of
Democracy is better than death. This
was an off year in politics. No members
of congress were to be chosen. No
great issues of national importance were
to be decided. The right time was
chosen to teach the overbearing Repub-
lican bosses in Pennsylvania and Ohio
some lessons which they should have
learned long ago The returns would
indicate that such lessons have been
taught. 1t Was most unfortunate
wholly uncalled for-that such condi
tions should have existed, but as they
did exist and as the cancer was spread
ing and becoming malignant, November
1905 was very opportune time for per-
forming the operation No vital organ
was affected. The patients, though
" eak, will recover, and by the time the
election of 1905 comes around, the Re-
publican parties of Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia will be as strong as ever. and much
more healthful.-Bdna0r NelrS.
