What do you think washington meant by the comment he said "the baneful effects of the spirit of party."

I honestly think he was addressing how dangerous he believed the political parties were. Washington recognizes that it is natural for people to organize and operate within groups such as political parties, but he also argues that every government has recognized political parties as an enemy and has sought to repress them because of their tendency to seek more power than other groups.
