DEMoCRACY.-The national prestige of
the Democratic name is gone. The Democ-
racy is associated with treason, rebellion and
civil war. Under Democratic ascendan cy
the conspiracy was conceived and matured.
Under a Democratic Administration it RI
rened. By Democratic politicians it was de-
Tended and excused. By Democratic con-
yention it was declared triumphant. By
Democratic organs and orators, as far as
they dare, the theories from which the re-
belion sprung, are still justified. The
Democratic party has forced its best men
from its ranks. 1t has prostituted noble
name to the basest purpose. At some time
that name may become respectable, but for
the present the American people have had
quite enough Of Democracy.

The Constitutional Amend
lnClHt.

The Milwaukee News of Oct. 10,
publishes the Constitutional Amend
ment in full, with the subioined
comments. We presume the majori-
tv of our readers are familiar with
the amendment or have a copy in
their possession, it says:
+ \ careful perusal Of this amend
ment discloses the following facts:
+ |. Il does not change the basis of
representation except as to states
which excludes the negroes from the
polls.
,. Should the negroes be permit
ted t. yotc-which is the end sought
for-the amendment would leave the
basis Of representation precisely as
it now is.
5. Sh nd the negroes not be ad-
mitted to vote in any state, all the
negroes and unnaturalizcd electors
in such state would be denied rep
resentation.
4. The rights Of states and
federal citizenship are extended to
native born negroes, native born
whites and naturalized foreigners,
twenty-one years Of age and over,
hut these rights are by legal infer
ences denied to all other classes,
including unnaturalized electors.
5. There is nothing III the amend
ment reducing the representation Of
those eastern states which deny the
elective franchise to unnaturalized
residents.
6. There is nothing in the amend
ment which remedies the present
system of unequal representation, or
which secures power to 4 vote IN
western states equal to that Of a
vote in the eastern states.
!. The amendment in effect per-
mancntly disqualiies from official
position, local and national, nearly
all the best educated and most in
telligent citizens Of the southern
states, practically forcing this class
into al attitude Of hostility to the
federal government.

pie come to look at the crimes OF
this party in all their horrible mag,
nitude, then the party will be held
responsible for its crimes. Then
will the people understand that the
negro is an inferior being by nature,
and that he can only live and heur-
ish in civilized society when his
wants are provided for, and his con-
duet watched over by those whom
the law holds responsible for his
acts.
The President has removed Dem
mis- \. Cooley of Dubuque from the
Office Of Commissioner of Indian az
fairs, and appointed Col. Lewis V.
Bogy of St. Louis to the office, the
change to take place on the lst of
November. We know but little of
the appointee, but know enough of
Cooley to know that a change
should have long since been made in
the office. He was one of the corrupt
demagogues Of the State who would
scruple at nothing that would ac-
complish the dismcmberment of
the Union.

THE ELECTIONS. (which were

Gals, as great Victories but We
advise our readers to be patient and
make due allowance for errors il
tcle-raphic reports, bear in mind
that for the last six years scarcely
a single truth has passed over the

has never yet been an election but
what they have claimed no matter
how badly they were beaten.
We are unable to say how the
matter is in some of the districts
but know enough from their own
statements to be assured that they
have lost ground. In Pennsylva-
MIA and Indiana the contest is very
close, and in some Of the districts
it is impossible to speak with any
certainty until thoy get the com
plcte returns, as the majorities on
either side will not exceed from
three to five hundred, and in two or
three instances probably less.
