Mr.. Seymour, in the formal speech which We
print this morning, bases his claims to the
Presidency mainly on two grounds. First, Re-
construction is o failure therefore he should be
elected second he couldn't do anything if he
were President, therefore he should be elected
Reconstruction is failure, he argues, be-
cause the Democratic Ku-Klnx make the land
reek with the blood of black and white
Unionsts. We admit the murders-hs, not
ours, is the party which has been first denying
and then apologizing for them-but we reject
the responsibility. Till Gov. SeymOurs asso-
ciate on the ticket threatened revolution, and
Gov. Seymour's platform pledged the Northern
Democracy to the threat, the now murderOus
Rebels were comparatively peaceful. That was
the encouragement at which they raised their
kissing heads But the American people will
not agree with Gov. Seymour in his belief that
this frightful record constitutes claim in his
behalf for their suffrages.
Nor will it seem to intelligent voters high
recommendation for the Presidency that IL
elected he would be powerless. This argument
was first made by Gov. Seymour to prove that
he should not be nominated. He now uses it
to prove that he should be elected. He hopes
thus to convince people that his associate on the
ticket means only peace, and that the Democratic
platform means nothing. What could Blair do
he exclaims, after assassinating me, so long as
Congress was against hmf This is what
Blair himself says he could do: I'VE must
"have a President who will execute the will
:" of the people, by tramplng into the dust the
" usurpations Of Congress known as the Re
construction acts. This is the one thing
I" that includes all that is worth con-
"test, and without it there is nothing that gives
dignity, honor, or value to the struggle" And
he has within a fortnight elaborately argued
that existing judicial decisions place this now
within the power Of the President
OF the minor features Of Gov. Seymour's plea
We need say little. He gives in his adhesion
to the financial rascality Of the platform rather
