" The Evils OF BLACK REPUBLICANIsM.-
Since the disclosures of the bribery and corrup-
ton of Matteson and his coadutors I'm the
House, the party to which they belong has
made iearfully rapid strides in imitation of their
corrupt leaders. Wherever they have obtained
Office at the hands of the people, whether State
or municipal, they have discharged their duties
so faithlessly as to bring the very name of Black
Repubilcan into disrepute. In Ohio, the frauds
OF Breshn have turned bis own party against

Recent developments show that the laadors
