This article focuses on several socio-political developments around the world. The Republican party was, in the beginning, the product of moral forces which ministers rightly have a large, perhaps the largest, share in directing, and greatly to their credit, they have in all the stages of its eventful existence contributed in no in considerable degree to its triumphs. In fact, there never was a political party in which clerical influence could so legitimately show itself. "The New York Times" commented in a very sensible terms on the " Strong Man cry," as recently raised by ex-Postmaster-General. " The need of the hours" said he, "is the presence in the White House of a man whose past acts would be a guarantee that fraud and corruption in elections could not exist--a strong man in whom every one would have confidence."
