At meeting of the Republican Pro-

ton last atIrday night, an organiza-
ton was effected as follows:
President-Senator Jonathan Bourne

act"
As nine-tenths of the Republicans of
the country, favor the above decIara-
lion OF principles, the League can eff
feet no division in the Republican par
ty. Indeed, many of the States have
already adopted most of'those princi.
pies, and the rest of the States-Demo-
cratic as well as Republican-are now
discussing them, ii will not be long be.
fore they are accepted by the entire
country.
III must be noted that the League as
organized, does not represent the dis
tlnetlNe views of the 'Insurgent" Re-
puollcans, Their special grievance
was against the high tariff duties. of
which nothing is said in the above de-
elaFation of principles.
There IS no doubt that both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties are
under notifications of principles that
are bringing them more in accord. In
The southern States. which have been
heretofore counted soiidly for free trade
and against protective duties, many of
Them are agitating TO have protective
duties in order that the various manu-
featuring industries established within
their borders in recent years may con-
uuue 10 prosper. They are benetiting
the entire South, bringing in capita.
and giving il new life. This change
Of tarifi views will be one of the trou.
oles that the Democratic House of Re-
personalities will have TO meet when
il assemblies next fail.
Some of the 'lnsurgentp Republican
leaders will prefer to join a free trade
faction Of the Democratic party in pre-
ference 10 adhering 10 their own unless
IL consents TO scale down lis tariff.
Agitation and discussion Tor reforms
Is rife in the eountry-and never more

the people from whichigood 10 the en-.
