Senator Dolliver, in an extended speech recently defined the differ ence between insurgents and ' those Republican reactionaries whose chief ides of public duty is to follow the organization. He made it very clear thst it is no part of the plan of the insurgents to wreck the Republican party and that they will be the test to attempt such move, but that they do intend to bold the party to its promises and that they resent the abuse they have received at the hands of the regulars. .
