Keeping Up Party Organization.

The Kepnblican party has bo President. It has only one b.anch of Congress. It has no directing and organizing head unless the National Committee undertake to do so. That is what it should do. It should be the directing executive h ad of tbe party for the next four years. It should maintain an office in New York or Washington in charge of some such efficient man as exCommissioner Dudley,of Indiana. It should work the whole field and maintain Republican clubs and organization everywhere. Now there are many of the Republican dabs of t he late campaign still in existence and anxious to remain so. But they will soon foil away for lack of direction and co-operation and headship. All this the National Committee can supply. It can put itself in correspondence with all clnbs and county committeemen. It can thus organize elobs where they do not exist. It can supply clnbs and persons with documents. There will be no Bepnblicans in office by 1888 and this clnb organization and a small fee the members would be willing to pay would furnish the campaign fund for 1888. The National Committee by that time will have' ready at tbe very outset of the next President ail campaign the party organized in every locality in the country. The list of the members or numbers of the organized clnbs will be on file in the office of the National Committee, and it wBI thus begin tbe campaign with a perfect organization and quite a full canvass of tbe whole field at the very outset We urge the National Committee to take bold of the work we have here outlined. —Keokuk Gate City.
