LOCO FOCO CONSISTENCY.
FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 3, 1913.

hoSO IotO CO.NSltS L LNCl
While the election in Massachusetts was
yet undecided and the Loco Focos were fear
tul of the success of Governor DAVIS, they |
claimed that the Wings in the Legislature |
were bound to vote for Norton on the ground
that he had received larger popular vote
than either of the other candidates. This |
was urged with great earnestness in all the
papers ofthe party, and those Wings who in
sisted upon voting for Governor DAVIS were
denounced by every epithct which Loco Fo-
co ingenuity could invent. 1t was urged that
Morton, having received the highest vote,
was entitled to an election as matter OF
rieht-thls was the universal cry of the par
ty from one end of the Old Bay Suite to the
other. And, though the Wings have a ma
jority in the House of Representatives, Nor
ton is sent to the Senate in accordance with
this claim of the Loco Focos. Blu, it will be
rccoeced that the Wing Senators in Wor-
cesler county failed of their election by about
200 votes, while they received a much heavier
vote than any of the other candidates. Un-
der these circumstances it is made the duty
oi,he legislature, in joint ballot, where the
Locos have a small minority, to fill the va
caucies in the Senate. Now mark the con-
sistency of The Massachusetts, Tories. Did
they vote for the Senators having the high
est vote at the popular election q! BY no
means. Every man of them rated .for the
minority Senators, and thus gare the lie to
their own prote ssions.
We have selected this specimen Of Loco
Foco hypocrisy for comment, not because it
r is the worst, but the latest. Never since the
first existence of parties have the practices OF
any set Of politicians been so utterly at war
with their professions as those of the Loco
Focos. Processing the utmost regard for
freedom of opinion, they were the first to in
n troduce the revolutionary guillotine, anc
r prescribe every man who dared to oppose
: them. Protesting the utmost anxiety fo
the purity of elections, they have been guilty
: of such outrageous frauds at the ballot box
that they never have even attempted TO cx
g cuse them. lin proof of this, we would re
rs fer our readers to the fact that eighty con
ricts were released from the peni,entary o
&c the evening proceeding the last charter cleo
az ton in New York city, and their votes takrr
" in erery instance, for the Loco Foco cand
dates.) Declaring themselves to be the en-
to emies of Banks, they have chartered thou
d sands of worthless institutions, which, lik
,J houses built upon the sand, have been sweI
as away by the first beatings of the storm.-
at Proclaiming their belief in the doctrine Off
on structions. they have uniformly and alway
X refused TO obey them. Pretending to be tt
~ exclusive friends of the poor, they are II

FAMILY JARS.

The union and harmony ofthe Ohio branch
of the Loco Foco family is in great danger
of being disturbed. A quarrel about Banks
has broken out among the leaders, which
threatens to set the opposite factions fairly
BY the ears. We cannot guess at the merits
of the question in dispute, for the inhamma-
tory appeals of the conending parties are
only explicit in accusing each other of "treach-
cry" "corruption," &c.-The subjoined
extract from letter written by Loco Focc
member of the Legislature to the Eaton Reg.
lister, may serve as an indication of the TEN
per in which the contest is carried on:
II am fearful the present Legislature will play III

The question of the adoption of the plan
submitted to Congress by the Executive, for
the establishment of National Exchequer.

as the action of the present Congress is con-
cerned, by the proceedings of the House Of
Representatives on Friday last. The ques.
ton was taken directly, on the resolve re-
ported by Mr.. FILLMORE, in behalf Of tho
Committee of Ways and Means, which is IN
the following words -
Resoired Tha, the plan of an Exchequer presented
To Con .ress by the Secretary Of the Treasury at the

found regard for the right of suffrage, they
have done all in their power TO disfaaehisc
a most respectable class Of intelligent young
men, the students Of our academies and col
legcs. Affecting unbounded liberalty, they
are the blindest and most intollerant slaves
of party bigo,ry and prejudice. Loud
mouthed preachers of frugality and economy
out of Office, whenever they have been in
they have squandercd the most abundant re-
sources, and plunged the nation in debt of
millions. With professions of democracy ev-
er on their tongue, they are the most inso-
lent, overbearing aristocra,s that ever cursed
the country with their sway. Processing I'M
limited confidence in the virtue and intelli-
gence ofthe PEOPLE, within one short month
the Tories of Vermont have refused to allow
them to choose county officers, or decide up
on amendments to their own constitutions
We might continue this list of inconsistent
cies till the reader should sicken at the dis
gns'ing exhibition of hypocricy and decep-
ton. But we forbear. We can not close
this article, however, without giving utterance
to the pride we feel that our own gallant
State has never listened TO the oily, smooth
tongucd professions of the seducers. The
foot prints of the political marauders have
never been marked upon the high places Of
our Commonwealth. Their barbarian CO.
horts have never occupied the Businesses, or
desecrated the soil Of our rugged mountains.
Our noble State has ever proved as impreg-
nable as Gibralter to the fercest assaults of
the Vandals. While every other State has
been overrun by them, while the adamantinc

GFGENERAL APATHY.-The Washing
ton Globe discourses most eloquently OF the
notable exploits Of this doughty hero in the
late election IN Georgia. Whole acres OF
/" hard handed democrats" according to Mr..
Blair, were mown down at single sweep of
his sturdy" cheese toaser." The old Cen
eral is a real turn coat. He has been fight
ing against the Wings for the last two years,
and, while he was against us, the Locos in
sisted he was no great shakes They then
rldiculed the proves Of this valiant chiellan,
and considered him a 'pusilanimous old
coon.' But since he has taken up arms
against the Loco Focos, they think him the
most potent commander that has hourished
since the days of Agamemnon. The Globe
accounts for the defeat of its party in Geor-
gia in a very natural way. He says the Lo-
CO vote has fallen of several thousands, since
the last election, while the Wig rote has
increased IN about the same ratio. And this
singular resul, has been brought about by the
miraculous exploits of' General Apathy i
