Tho Republican party will probably Ililli Its last national light, as thu orguid- , gallon which it ls today, in the cmupalgu Which lt will make for *'ie presidency this year. Its leaders will, of course, struggle to maintain tho individuality of tho party, j hut if il is defeated thia year, its only hope fo. salvation will be In its recogni tion of principles which have been hereto fore foreign to its policy. In other words, the Republican party, if defeated tine year, must merge with other organiza tions to even hold Its own ns the second I in political strength. The success of tho ? Democratic, ticket this fall will bo tho everlasting doom of the Republican party and tho slow hut certain disintegration, which it has been undergoing for the past few yearn, will give Way to the hasty col lapse of the fabric which has supported the parly for so many years. The spoils of office and tho bloody shirt have heretofore been the two great ele incuts of strength of the Republican party, anil these having lost their beneficial in- ' fluence, now sources of strength must ho , found or the party must forever succumb to tho popular indignation which has re buked ii by depriving it of its patronage, and by renouncing tho policy which at tempts lo rekindle a Haine out of tho ashes of sectional nnimosity. If tho Republican party were to abandon these pillars of the faith w hich has kept il in power for so ninny years, !' would he no longer the Republican party. When sectionalism is completely obliterated there will lie no further use for the Republican party, whose mission is one. not of peace, hut of discord lind discontent. As long as suth a party exists, so long will it cling to the bloody shirt doctrine. Day i hy day tin; protest of the people against the narrowness and bitterness of such a national policy grow stronger and .stronger, and thc time will soon arrive when no party will tiaro go before tho people on such an issue. This is tho point to which the Republican party is drifting. When it reaches the stage where it sees that it has nothing to gain by sui h a course, then the party must no to pieces.
