REPUBLICAN PARTY POLICY.
The party policy in the matter of submitting the constitution framed last September to the people, seems to be fixed. That being the case, papers that are Republican will abide by the fixed policy of the party. That is all there is of it and all there is to it. At the same time, it is proper to remark, that this is a free country, and if there are papers claiming to be Republican, that will not support the constitution, well and good. They have a perfect right to do as they see fit in the matter, but of course the party is not bound by their utterances. At the same time, they should be sufficiently fair to accord other papers the right to act as they see fit. As far as this newspaper is concerned, it will be bound by the expressed wishes of the great majority of the party, and will stand by Republican principles as it has unswervingly in the past, stands by them to-day and will stand by them in the future.
