On thee, my well loved younger boy,

Drowning Men Catch Mt Strayvs.

When an army is whipped it falls back
on its reserves. Nay, we have read Of bat
ties in which the defeated forces were flying
in confusion and terror, and were glad to
take any shelter or refuge tha. offered. So
is it with the Radical Republican party to.
day. They have bcen fearfully routed in
the contest with Democracy at the polls on
the only principle or proposition they Ind
to distinguish them as party at ALTO wit:
negro suffrage: Where they thought they
were strong, they find that they are weak
where they thought that they would win or
that issue, they have been disgracefully dc
feated. Ohio, Kansas, Minnesota, Califor
mia, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Kentucky, Maryland, and 9th
er States, have voted against the proposition
to give the negro equal, social aud poli,ica
standing with the white race. Under thia
fearful popular protest, all but the real hon
est and strong and resoutc radicals, have
gone under, and are now, like drowuius
men, who will catch at s,raws, reaching ou
for any thin and frail and uncertain thing
that may save them in their extremity. The
drift wood to which they are striking out in
their drowning despair ard trying to cling
TO for salvation, is General Grant. Well, il
this is not a virtual confession that thei,
principles, or rather their policy and plans
are repudiated by the people, and that they
also repudiatc them in order to keep politi
cal power, even at the sacrifice Of principle
then VIC do not know what renegadism ant
apos,acy and abnegation of all professec
political faith and purpose are. Grant il
still cxcrutiatingly silent and non.committal
| But does be not see.ccrtainly he does-
that the desperate politicians in the Repuh
lican ranks Only want'o u2e him as a sort oi
last resort in i hopeless ezisancy? If no,
why were not Tie party papers and the
party leaders, who are now so loud in hiI
praise as the fttest man for the Presidency,
quite rs vociferous aud earnest in recon-
mending him for tho Presidency before The
elections in Connecticut, California, Penn.
sylvania New Jersey, New York, Kentucky,
Maryland, ard ether States? The plain
answer to this question is, that tue dirty
demagogues who are now seeking to use
Grant as straw to keep them from drown
ing, never would have thtnght Of him fol

Democrat Of Cincinnati Ohio, asking why
cur personal choice is for Thomas H. Sey.
mour of Connecticut, for the mex. Demo.
cratic candidate for President, We answer
briefly, frankly. ...
Heis statesman "a Principle Democrat
"A gentleman, a bold, true, earnest patriot
ic l5yc. of his country and defender Of Con-
stitutionsl Liberty. In 1864 at the Chicago
Convention he received twenty-three and a
half votes for the Democratic nomination,
and was the only other candidate named be-
side Gen. Mcclellan. lie was then the
next highest choice for President, was nomi-
mated by Mr.. Stewart OF Ohio, and would
have been nominated then and there
If Hon. VIM. Eaton Of Connecticut had
no. stated to the Convention that Mr.
Seymour was not and did not wish to be
candidate. If Mr.. Seymour had not
been our nominee then, the Democratic
party would no, now be struggling between
the mire of policy and the high ground OF
principle
We lovo Mr.. Seymour for his purity,
ability and Democracy. We think with
him from the East, as President, and a
sound man from the Wes. as Vice Presi-
dent, we could sweep the entire country,
and at ono, restore the country to peace,
prosperity and rights under the Constitu-
ton. Our folks tried an available candi-
date, we are too huniliated to write the re-
suit
Our personal choice is rs aoore-still We
will earnestly, laboriously support any man
the Democracy nominate, unless it be an
other pol;cv auoila5le unknown. We took
an available" and were beaten. The Re
publicans took johnson another available
and were worse than beaten We want no
moro ofsuch tempoviEing. We wish plain,
true, outspoken candidate who is not afraid
to bo Democrat We would not support
Grant, or such man, for all the gold or
position the nation could give us, We shall
only support Democrat of Democratic
autecedents Democra. bold enough and
honest enough to be a Democrat under all
circumstances. Our first choice is for prin-
ciple-the man is nothing And any Demo-
crat nominated by Democrats shall receive
all the support, bo it little or much, this pa
per with its friends, and its almost one hun
dred thousand circulation can give throug h
money, speech, editorials, appeal, argument
and illustration. Victories outside Of prin-
ciple are not victories except for those who
would rob the people LA Crosse Demo
