It la a mistake to assume, as many are doing, that Independence among members of tha great parties la confined chiefly to the demooraoyr The republican party for many years has had batter leadership and greater discipline and ooheadreneaa than Its rival, but revolts among republicans against the polio y of the dominant section of their party have taksst plaoe many' times. Soma of thaaa aohlama have) had important polls. leal consequences. Necessarily a party composed of aa maay Ingredients of vari ous aorta aa entered into tha republics organisation must have carried within Itself largo possibilities for discord, and .these that party had at tha outset. Tha civil war fused it Into an organto whole, but when the pressure of Imminent national peril waa removed the divergencies among tta members- on other Issues sown began to reveal themselves. ' 1 ' In fact, soma discord began to show Itself even before the war closed. A radical fac tion of tho party,. Uilnklus; thai Lincoln wss too weak and too strong! disposed to favor slavery, brought Fremont forward for president, and ha and , General John Cochrane were nominated In a convention which met In Cleveland on May IL U64, a week before Lincoln was renominated. Fre mont had, while In command In Missouri In lttil, proclaimed the freedom of all the slaves In hta department owned by persons In rebellion against the government, but this was set aalde by Lincoln. Although Lincoln a year later, laaued his emancipa tion proclamation, which was . to operate in all the region held by the confederates, the edict to go Into effect on January L 1863, the radical abolitionists were not sat isfied, and Oils was one of the reasons why Fremont was put forward. The bolt, how ever, after Lincoln was nomlnaUid. eoon ceased to attract attention. , Policy of Heeoaatmetlott, What promised to be a much more tor. mldabla rupture In the republican party began to reveal Itself a UtUe earlier than the meeting of the convention at Cleveland, which put up Fremont.

Virtually, congress waa to have nothing- to do directly with the restoration of the se ceded states except ta paaa upon thtr ad mission of their representatives. . Ths ma jority of tha republicans in congress did not ilka Lincoln's plan. They said tha terms were too lenient to tha south, and that they did not exaot sufficient guaran tee for the observance ef even these con ditions. A bill to remedy these defects, or alleged defects, was, aooordlngly pushed through congress, but Llnooln killed It by the pooket veto on July 4 1W, and four days later he issued a proclamation de fending his oottrse. This was a month after his renomtnation. Henry "Winter Davis and Benjamin F. Wade, the leaden la tha house and senate, respectively, replied to Llnooln in a letter, wales was published la the New Tork Tribune, which concluded with this threat: . "Tha . president has greatly presumed cm tha forbearance which tha supporters of his administration have ao loag practiced, in view of the arduous conflict In which wo are engaged and tha reckless ferocity of our political opponents. But ha must understand that our support is of a causa and not a man; that tha au thority of 'congress is paramount and must bo respected a a a s.nd if ha wlshea 'our aupport ha must confine himself 'to his ex ecutive duties to obey and execute, not to make the laws to auppresa by arms armed rebellion and leave political reorganisation to oongress." - Jobasoa Overruled. . Hero, in tha darkest dsys of the war, were tha symptoms of what might prove to be a very formidable schism in the republican party aa,soon aa tha end of the rebellion would make state restoration a practloal Issue. Lincoln put his form of reconstruction In operation in a few Mates, and Johnson, after Lincoln's desth, em ployed it in tha rest of the atatea of tha old confederacy. Congress, however, when it met in December, U6&, denied admlsslen to the representatives of ths seceded states, aad that body, under the direction of the joint committee on reconstruction, whoso leading spirit was Thaddeus Ste vens, gradually formulated the polloy which, in the fight between. Johnson and the republican majority In oongress, be came a law by being passed over the veto. The fight between oongress and president would have taken plaoe even if Lincoln had lived. This was foreshadowed by ths menace In the Davis-Wade manifesto of tha summer of ISM.

Tha few republicans In con gress Doollttle Of Wisconsin, Cowan of Pennsylvania, Van Winkle af West Vir ginia, Lane of. Kansas, Rousseau of Ken tucky, Raymond of New Tork and others re-enforced by a few prosaTaent republicans outside of congress, who, "Johnsonlzed" In 1S6&-68, would have been multiplied many times by the number of republicans who would have "Lincolnixed" had Lincoln lived. Several republican ' senators on tha trial of Johnson under the articles of Im peachment Fessenden of Maine, Trumbull of Illinois, Fowler of Tennessee, Grimes of Iowa, Van Winkle of West Virginia, Ross of y""' and Henderson of Missouri voted with tha democrat in 186$ against tha conviction of Johnson, In 1W6 Henry J. Raymond of Now Tork, the chairman of the union national com mittee; N. D. Sparry of Connecticut and O. R. Banter of Ohio were removed from the committee by reason, as tha committee said, "of their abandonment of the' prin ciples of tha national union party and afallation with its enemies." Tha national union party waa tha name assumed by the republic ana and their allies, the war democrats, la tha canvass at ISM, when Lincoln wsa renominated, and when John eon, than military governor of Tennessee, a demacrat, waa put In tha second place on the ticket. Of course, an overwhelming majority of the votes cast for Lincoln and Johnson in IK were oast by republi cans. "All of the national union party's national committee who Jo'lnod in tha ex pulsion of Raymond, Soerry and Senter ware republican Raymond was back in tha republican party before his death in 169, but most of the republican members of ths tws bran oh aa of congress who wont to Johnson's support, either before or after his Impeachment by the house and trial by the senate, entered the democracy and remained there. ' Liberal Bopnbllesua Bolt. Of course, the liberal republican bolt was the most formidable schism which over took place in tha republican party along to that time. Receiving its start in Missouri in tha canvass of 1170 for gover nor, it spread all over the country la the next two years, and at one time made republican prospects for carrying ths coun try in K71 look dark. The liberal republi cans, under the lead of ex-Senator Ben jamin Grata Brown and Senator Carl Bchura. carried the state in 170 through the aid which was given to them by the democrats, who refused to make nomina tions of their own. Brown being eleoted governor. In January. 11112, tha liberal re publicans of Missouri, at a gathering in Jefferaon City, issued a call for a national convention to bo held In Cincinnati on May 1 of that year, any one being eligible to representation at Cincinnati who was a republican and who was opposed to the polloy of the dominant section of the party on tha southern and other issues which .

Among- the republican chiefs tains who Jed In this movement or who sympathized with it were Horace Greeley, George W. Julian, John M. Palmer, David Davis, Benjamin Grata Brown, Carl Schurs, Lyman Trumbull, Jacob D. Cox, Charles Francis Adams, David A. Welles, William Cullen Bryant, Salmon P. Chase, Andrew G. CurUn and Cassius M. Clay. On the surface of things, the presence of all these leaders in the new movement meant the making of a big hole in tha re publican party. Soma of these were among the party'a founders. All had been leading spirits in it. The secession of such a formidable contingent seemed for a time to portend the party's defeat Probably if the Cincinnati convention made a better nomination tor president than the one it actually did select the republicans would have lost many additional votes. Missouri wanted tha nomination of Brown for presi dent He was the pioneer in tha revolt from the republicans. The movement which he leU placed him in the governorship, a post which he held at the time of the Cin cinnati convention of 187 Browm stood fourth on the list on the first ballot, being led, in this order, by Charles Francis Adams, Horace Greeley and Lyaaan Trumbull. After the first ballot, however, aim oat all of Brown's followers abandoned him and want to ether aspirants, and Greeley got the candidacy on the sixth ballot Brown was nominated for vice president Much dis satisfaction with the Greeley candidature was shown by an element of the liberal republicans, and a bolting section, promi nent among whom were Carl Bchura, Wil liam Cullen Bryant and Jacob D. Cox, put UP William S. Groesbeck of Ohio for presi dent and Frederick I Olmstead of New Tork tor vice president Greeley, though, had regularity on his side, he was accepted, with the platform on which be stood, by the democrats, and for a few weeks many republicans had serious fears for the Grant ticket The enthusiasm among the demo crats for Greeley, however, began to evap orate early, and although his popular vote 2.834,060, as compared with 8.637,000 for Grant was large, the number of electoral votes obtained by the coalition was small. Many of the liberal republicans entered the democratic party after the canvass of 1871, but some of thesn returned to the repub licans. ' riaht on Blaine. Smaller probably in point of numbers, but much more serious in its effects on the republican party, was ths bolt among its members which took plaoe in 18&4 against Blaine. Some of the mugwumps of- lm were the liberal republicans of 1872, who had in the interval re-entered the repub lican party. One issue of the earlier re volt, civil service reform, figured in the later rising. The particular antipathy of the republican Independents in the conven tion of 1S4 was Blaine, and their especial favorite was Edmunds. Blaine led In the balloting from tha first and was nominated.

Edmunds stood third on tha list at the outset in the convention, and lost ground steadily to the end. By a fortunate cir cumstance for the mugwumps the demo crats put up the very man beet calculated to command their aupport, Cleveland. Some of the newspapers belonging- to the repub lican independents had, for several weeks ("before the republican convention, been threatening- to refuse to support Blaine and been telling the democrats that the man for them to nominate against Blaine was Cleveland. Probably the antl-Blalne re publicans had some influence toward put ting Cleveland forward, tor he had a longer lead on the first ballot in, the convention than any of his supporters had predicted, and the second ballot gave him much more than the requisite two-thirds. Unquestion ably, the republican secedera contributed much more, in the decisive state of New Tork, than the 1,047 votes by which he led Bialne and won ths presidency. Probably Cleveland received many repub lican votes in U8 when be waa elected the second time. Very likely he would get some republican aupport if he should be nominated in ICOi, despite the antagonism to the third-term idea. In all of Cleve land's canvasses after he came prominently to the front for mayor ef Buffalo in 1SSL for governor of New Tork in 1883 and for president la 1884, 1888 and IBM he received much republican support He still has many ardent admirers in the republican party, though the chances are that against Roosevelt and in the present republican conditions he would be beaten if he should be nominated in U04. Another secession from the republicans took plaoe in 18S4, when the republicans declared for the gold standard. Hundreds of thousands of re publicans tn the states west of the Missis sippi and many in these between that river and the Alleghanlas abandoned McKlnley on the money issue and supported Bryan. These seceders were fewer in 1900, though even then they were a formidable element. They were largely outnumbered in each canvass, however, by the democrats who transferred their support to McKlnley. While it is true that In the past few years there has been more coheslveness among ths republicans than la the ranks of tbolr opponents, the Independent spirit has been and la sufficiently developed In the repub lican party to make the party's leaders cautious about the candldatea they aeleot, the policy they pursue and the creed a they formulate. Democratic Dlvislona. Tha historically greatest divisions among the democrats were in tha tight of the Barnburners and the Hunkera of New Tork In 1848, tha spilt of the Charleston national convention in lseo, the union of the war democrats with the republicans in 1SS4 and the transfer of the support of the gold democrats to the republican side in 18!j6 and 19u0 in the Bryan canvaasea Out side of Now Tork the democratic fitht of 184 did not accomplish' much and attracted I Saturday Specials The latest novelties In' Ladles' Neckwear on sale, at 5c, 10c, 15c and 25c $1.00 Veils, S,!.; 25c eai 25c Veiling, per yd 75c Fancy Ribbons, per yd ...7ic 29c 25c Novels, TW . each , X iw $1.00 Copyright 45c 5.25 ..10c 39c Books.

In New Tork, however, In that year the Barnburners, or - element which disliked the Influence which the southern section, had in the party coun cils, composed tha nucleus of the free soil party, which had ex-President Van Buren as a candidate. By this demooratla split Van Buren received more votes in the Em pire state than were given, to Case, the reg ular democratic candidate for prealdent, and thus that state's electoral vote, and with it tha presidency, went to Taylor, the whig. Notwithstanding Buana Vista and the rest of his victories in the Mexican war, which were still fresh la the minds of the people, Taylor would have been defeated by Cass had it not been for tha demecratlo schism in New Tork. Of course, the convulsion at Charleston in U60, which led to the placing of two democratic tickets In the field, rendered republican success certain in that year, but there is a fair probability that under the condi tions prevailing- at the time the repub licans would have won, even If the demo crats had been united. All the great par ties have split on one issue or another. All may be relied on to do this again when adequate provocation offers Itself. Charles M.

Recently a commercial traveler for a big Boston shoe factory gathered la a large order for his wares in the City of Mexico and hurried home to ail them. Three months later a consignment ef shoes marked "Jose Smith, City of Mexloo," fell into the bands of the Mexican officials at Nogales, and after passing through the formality ef confiscation they were publicly auctioned off. There was a large crowd on hand to bid for the shoes, but an examination ef the conslgnuaent revealed the fact that they were not mates, but all "rights." la con sequence the bidding was light and the en tire lot was finally knocked down at a ridiculously low figure to a stranger In the town. About three weeks later the Mex ican officials in the customs offloe at Juarea seized snother consignment of shoes, and In due time tbey were put up for auction. In tending bidders, however, were startled by tha discovery that all the shoes, about 4,000 in number, were "lefts." Naturally ths sale was a failure from a financial stand point and ths goods went to an unknown bidder, who bought them In for a handful of Mexican dollars.
