TRANSLATION
There once was a time when certain
manifestations were regarded as indica-
tions of corruptions IN the Democratic
party, but these manifestations are no
longer necessary to announce to the world
the integrity and morality Of the party
by its own conduct it announces TO che
world that it is not only coilupt but rot
ten to the core. If we needed any proof
to subslantiale this position, we think the
course pursued by It's press in relation to
the Treasury DefaIcation as being sufii,
cienlly ample and conclusive. Notwlth-
standing the incontestable proofs that the
Treasury defalcation, or rather embezzle-
ment of the public funds had its rise and
progress under the administration Of the
Democratic party, in spite OF the waru-
ings which Democratic Legislatures ig-
nored. and refused To consuma.e the neces.
sary enactments to protect The people s
money notwithstanding the admissions
of Nj ssrs. Morgan and Medill that they
were well aware that BreslIn was guilty
of embezzlemenl, and defauller not.
wi,hstanding that when examinations
were proposed, they always were de-
clIned or frustrated by the Democracy ;
notwithstanding the incontrovertabe fact
that it was Democratic officers, chiefly,
who produced the disorder, and caused
the deficits. Unblushingly and in the
face Of all these things does the Demo
cratic Press grow raacorous, and even
Morgan's Press is venting its spleen, and
is laburing sedulously to fasten its own
shame upon the young Republican party
and to impule more than an ordinary por'
ZION to Gov. Chase. In all past time the
Democratic party, has presented no indi
cations of such thorough corruption as al
the present.
In other days the reserve guard of the
Democracy still embodied some honesty,
and did some acts in consOnance with
truth and purity {; but now all seems lo
be stepped in vileness, and blows through
the same trumpet the deafning howls oI
shame.
Chase is the first Goernor of OHIO who
has honestly and with whole heart de-
termined to arrest even upon the slight
est suspicion, peculalions and ofica
misdemeanors. To him more than any
n,her State official, are praises due fol
having promptly iuterlered as genuine
patriot, not only without regard to party
affinlties but in opposition to council from
members of his own party. And thus
man is now to be disgraced by the mean
est and vilest of motives which actual,
The human being.
The trio, Morgan, Medill and Trevitt
should hide their heads in shame, for they
were the ones who fully aware of Bres
sins corruption, yet al the same tim
stood side by side in the campaign, AM
not only gave him their votes, but thei
influence by which his reelection wa
secured !; and instead of uniting will
those who really and earnestly desire re
forms. are now found actively engaged
in fabricating The most miserable ant
contemplate subterfuges to conceal Bres
iin's viiany, and so to represent lh'
transactions that the charge Of embezzle
ment shall res, chiefly on Gibsons shoul
ders; and they even seek To cover tn
unimpeaehable Chase with the basest i'm
putalions that ever were coined in ih
slime and filth of this corrupt and corrupt
ing party. Miserably wrelched must b
the man and desperate indeed his cond
ton, who Internationally submits 10 tn
yoke of this party, and who volnntari
obeys its every behesl, whether founde,
