The Republican Party Disintegrating

All the political signa of the year poiut unmistakably to the fnot that the republioan party is surely and rapidry disintegrating. In Pennsylvania and New York the party is divided into irreconsilable factions. In almost every state in the union there is open revolt against the republican bosses. The dietorial, lawless, corrupt and extravagant couree of the party in power has at last succeeded in alienating the support of thousands of republicans who place the interests of onr common county above the behests of a few political ring-masters. The situation of the republican party to-day flnds its only parallel in the situation of the democratie party in 1860. Then the pro-slayery and the Douglas union element, infiamed by sectional and factional hatreds. refused to co-operate together, and consequently two democratie presidential tickets were placed in the field, the result bemg of course the unchallenged electiou of the republican candidates. In 1882 the stalwart and the half-breeils, the two great winga of the republican party, are arraj in open arms agairmt eack other. Tli questions whick divided them are no ephemeral; they are vital and abiding It is literally a contest between radica ism and conservatism - between the Bo ToombB and the Stephen A. Douglas o republicanism. The unscrupulous stal warts have the prestige of the govern ment power anp patronage and they ar using it boldly and boastingly to stifie eminent of all the instrument for the &ggrradizement of the few. If it were not for the baueful influence of the federal 'machine," in New York and PennsylvaniatheoandidacyofFolger and of Beaver would be simply ridiculous. But backed by the money of the monopolista and the patronage of the government they are able to make a tolerably effective campaiijn. A long suffering peopie, however, are everywhere raising in their might to overthrow the Jay Gould monopolists and the Don. Cameron ringsters from the seats of power and restore the government to its pristine honesty and purity. And they will succeed. - (Ionia Standard.
