Modern sham ssepubiicanism.
The modern sham Republican party assumes
the distinctive name of the old democratic par.
ty of which Thomas Jefferson was the leader
! They are f,nd OF quoting his opinions, and he
claim is percrrcd increasingly that his principles
are indentical with theirs We shall not argue
about this matter, just now; it is enough that
we present series of facts, which defy such
analysis as shall favor the pretensions Of these
new found admirers Of Mr.. Jefferson.
We want the reader TO note that the old
Democratic party OF l796-18O9 was strongest
in precisely those localities where the Demo
cratic party o. 1859 is dominant to. day. Fur.
ther, we wish him to observe that where the
old school "Republicans"Ot 1900 were weakest,
the new-light sham Republicans are strongest.
In other words, the democratic party of 80 is
entrenched, so far as majOrities 90, in the the
same states it held in 1796-1609; and the mod
ern Republican (Opposition) party preponder.
ates in the same states that were carried against
Mr. Jefferson in 1896, and 1900.
Observe, First That the stronghold Of Black
Republicanism is New England The six
States composing that part OF the ConCederacy
are now represented IN both branches of the
National Legislature by solid phalanX of Black.
Republican congressman. Every district has
been carried against the Democrats. How was
1t in 1896, when, for the first time, Mr.. Jefier-
son was candidate for the Presidency? Not
one vote was given him by New England
State-Roj one! John Adams received IL votes,
and Of these, 39-more than halt-camG from
New Hampshire Vermont, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The popular
expression in New England was not more deci-
dedly adverse to Mr.. Buchanan, three years

before. Here is striking coincidence. What
will you do with it?
O5serUe, Secondly, That, in New England,
at the election Of 1900 the result was precise
ly the same as it had 0een in 1906. Every cleo
toral vote--39--was cast Tor Mr.. Adams for
Mr.. Jefferson, as before, not ol.e. Thus a second
time was Mr.. jefferson rcpudiatcd utterly in
that very section that now as emphatcally re
pudiates Alr Buchanan. The old and the new
the man and the party Of 1900, and the man
and the party of lS53--are just alike Will
some OF our modern sham Republicans explain
this phenomenon? Do! Or else shut up your
mouths about Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas
Jeilerson's principles being yours.
In 1904, there was no systematic opposition
to Mr.. JeicysOn's re election In consequence
Of this, the electoral colleges were nearly un.
animous for him. He received l62 votes out
of 116. Nine Of the II given to Mr.. Pindney
came from Connecticut, a strong Republican
State. At this election, Massachusetts-lor
the first, last, and only tilne--cast her satfrag
es for Democratic presidential nominee. Her
sixteen electoral votes were given to Mr.. JEFF
erson, and, here, OBSERVE that this circum-
stances was stigmatized by Josiah Quincy, ir.,
as Sixteen evidences Of the existence of the
Slave Trade in Massachusetysh A harsher ex-
preston could not have been employed.--It
is intensely significant Of the real feeling of
that time, and shows up sham Republican pre-
tension in strong light. This Josiah Quincy,
ir was living in 1885, and gave Fremont
decided and-we will say it--an intelligent sup
port. He knew what he was about.
Towards the close Of JcIterSon's second
term in 1903, a caucus otthe old-school Repub
hcan members OF Congress nominated Mr..
Madison for the Presidency. We notice that
the authority OF his name IS often invoked by
the moIep Republicans. Well, how many
votes did he received in New England? But
six-those Of Vermont. The - votes of Mas,
sachuseits, the Z Of New Hampshire, t from
Rhode Island and from Connecticut were Civ
en- to C. G, Plnkney, and made up 80 of the
II cast for him over all the Union. O5geyre

candidate for reelection? The same story
exactly lie got the support OF but one New
England State-while the colleges Of MasSach-
setts (22), New Hampshire (8) Rhode Island
az, and Connecticut (9), declared for Dewitt
Clinton
Thus, we have established the fact that New
England was a strongly adverse to the old JET,
'ersonian Democratic party as she is against
the party which in 1859 Supports the Admins,
tlation of James Buchanan. GAinsay cur proofs
let him who can.
Having thus shown that the stronghold of
modern sham Republicanjsm was the strong
hold Of the enemies ofold school Jeffersonian
RepublicanSlu, we Shall next demonstrate, by
the same kind Of proofs, that the States which
were reliably "repubcan" from 1876 to 1872,
are as reliably Democratic now.
In 1895, Mr.. Jefferson received 6S electoral
votes for the Presidency-all from the South
except IA given by Pennsylvania. THIS looks
like 1856!
In 1900, his electoral vote was 73--al from
the South, except Pennsylvania (8) and New
York Q2); 20 in all.
In 1904, there was no organized opposition
to him, as stated above.
In 1903, Mr.. Madison, "old school Republi-
can" carried every southern State except Della
ware.
In 1912, he carried every southern State ex-
cept Delaware. Maryland diyided-castng
votes for him, and 5 ior Dewitt Clinton At
the North, he received the support o two States
only; Vermont and Pennsylvania.
From these facts it will be seen that the cold
school Republican" party was as much of
southern party as the Democratic party of to
day And where it was all conquering, the
