Radical Honesty.

Senator SBUcKALEw, of Pennsylvania, is
discussing the policy and acts of the Radi-
cal majority in Congress before his constit-
uents. In recent speech.at Williamsport,
he showed how the majority In the last
Congress disposed of contested election
case from Indiana, in order to get two
thirds vote. D. w. VOORHEES,, Democrat,
held the seat and his contestant was Rad
ical. VOORHEES, had some six hundred or
seven hundred majority. 1t was claimed
that the contestantdid not have all the votes
counted for him in certain Democratic pre-
cincts that were cast in his favor ;
so the committee went behind the
returns and struck the entire vote
of these Democratic precincts from
the aggregate result. They then
footed up the vote and VOORHEES, still had
a majority. Here was dilemma. They
had stricken from the returns all the pre-
cincts in which the Radical contestant
claimed there was any fraudulent voting,
and yet their man was not elected. The
point could not be surrendered, and so
they recanvassed the votes-counting all
the votes given for the Radical contestant
in the cast-out precincts and throwing out
all cast for the Democrat. In this way
they made out q Radical majority, and
upon that infamous basis they erected a
Democrat from Congress and put Radi-
ical in. Twenty years ago such step
would have consigned those guilty Of 1t to
infamy. Now the crime is not only wink
ed at, but applauded. -.-r.F

LO! the Poor NegrO-tiis Former

The darkies are now catching it from all
sides of the Republican camp. All the
misfortunes OF, the election are laid to their
charge and to those who forced him, on the
platform and iD the proposed Constitu.
tional Amendment. .ti e..
1t was the Negro they say that defeated
them. They never ought to be allowed to
vote, and the men who forced such an issue
on the party only did it to destroy it.
Such are the common expressions of men
who on Tuesday last voted for the suffrage
amendment, declaring that suffrage was q
natural right, and that the blacks had as
much right to it as the whites, and that
they were, as class, better informed on
political subjects than the mass of foreign
ers. IN. a.s
The idol of the party is now cast down
and broken. Like the negroes in Africa,
