VOICE OFTHE GERMAN PRESS.
The Detalcation-Morgan, TreyiH ana
Mediu brought up wiM "short turn"
The following article is literal trsnsla-
ton from the Cincinnati Volks Blatt, the
leading German paper in Cincinnati, and 8
paper too that supported Morgan and
Trevitt at the last election. Read it,
things are working:
There once was a time when certain
manifestations were regarded as indications
of corruption in the Democratic party, but
these manifestations are no longer necessa
rp to announce to the world the integrity
and morality of the party; by its own con
duct it announces to the world tina! it is
not only corrupt but rotten to the CORE
If we needed any proof to substantiate
this position, we think the course pursued
by its Press in relation to the Treasury
Defalcation is being sufficiently ample and
conclusive. Notwithstanding the incon
testable proofs that the Treasury Defalca
ton, or rather embezzlement of the public
funds had its rise and progress under the
administration of the Democratic party
in spite of the warning which Democratic
Legislatures ignored, and refused to con-
summate the necessary enactments to pro-
tect the peoples money; Notwithstanding
the admissions of Messrs. Morgan and Ne
dill that they were well aware that Breslir
was guilty of embezzlement, and default
er; Notwithstanding that when examina
tions were proposed, they always were de
clined or frustrated by the Democracy
Notwithstanding the incontrovertable fac
that it was Democratic officers, chiefly, who
produced the disorder, and caused the def
cts. Unblushingly in the face of all these
things does the Democratic press grow ran
corous, and, even Morgans Press is
venting its spleen, and is laboring sedul
ously to fasten its own shame on the young
Republican party; and to impute more
than an ordinary portion to Gov. Chase
In all past time the Democratic party ha:
presented no indicationg of such thorough
corruption as at present.
In other days the reserve guard of Dem
ocracy still embodied some honesty, and
did some acts in consonance with truth anG
purity, but now all seems to be stepped IL
vileness and blows through the same taum
pet the deafening howls of shame.
Chase is the first Governor of Ohio who
has honestly, and with whole heart, de
termined to arrest, even upon the slightest
suspicious, all official misdemeanors. To
him, more than any other state official, are
praises due for having promptly interfered
as genuine patriot, mot only without regart
to party afinities, but in opposition tc
counsel from members of his own party
And this is now to be disgraced by the
meanest and vilest of motives which actu
ate the human being.
The trio, Morgan, Medill and Trevit
should hide their heads in shame, for they
were the ones who fully aware of Breslin';
corruption, yet at the same time stood side
by side in the campaign, and not only
gave him their votes, but their influence
by which his reelection was secured; and
instead of uniting with those who areally
and earnestly desire reforms, are now found
actively engaged in fabricating the most
miserable and contemplate subterfuges te
conceal Breslin's villainy, and so to repre-
sent the transactions that the charge O
embezzlement shall rest chiefly on Gibson:
shoulders; and they even seek to cover the
unimpeachable Chase with the basest i'm
putations that were ever coined in The
slime and filth of this corrupt and corrupt
ing party. Miserably wretched must b.
the man, and desperate indeed his condi
ton, who Internationally submits to tho
yoke of this party, and who voluntarily
obeys its every behest, whether founded
on right or wrong.
