ExPLANAToRY.-When we say
Black Republicans, we do not wish
to be understood as meaning to in
clude within the designation the en-
tire party. We simply refer to such
Republicans as are essentially black,
This explanation is due, because
our observation and experience
have taught us that about onc-third
of those who oppose the enlighten
ed doctrines of Democracy are nat
urally, and socially, as white men
as ever lived in America. What is
more, their political instincts are as
Democratic as anybody's, but they
lack the moral courage to crown
their manhood with the full meas
urs of the manliness that is in them.
Nevertheless, we rely upon their
cooperation with us in the ultimate
struggle for the Right.--LOgan Coun-

The Test Oath Of Missouri and the
Test Oath Government ofIreland.

"The treaty Of Limrick wos sign
ed October B, 1891, and-says Sid
ney smith-diffused comfort, conf
dence and tranquility among the
Catholics" 1t promised them such
paivileges in the exercise of their
religion as they did enjoyin time of
Charles II, and the King prrmised
them furteer seeurits. But October
%, 1891, the Euglish parliment ex-
cluded Catholics from the Irish
House of Lords and Commons by a
test oath. In 1895, they were pro-
hibited from educating or being
guardian to their own Childred. In
1904 any son who would turn pro-
testant was madeowner of his faith
er's estate. A Catholic was forbid
en- to mary a Catholic, or hold any
office or vote. In 1909 q Catholic
was prohibited from holding an an-
nuity for life, or keep q school, or
sit ON jury. And by the same act
rewards were offered for the discov--
cry Of any Popish priest.
Sidney Smith says: "This code
of laws reflects indelible disgrace
upon the English character, and
explains but too clearly the cause of
that hatred in which the English
name has 30 long held in Ireland.
1t would would require centuries to
efface the impression.
That is the way in which honest
and intelligent minds in England
now view the Irish test oath Gov
ernment set up by Parliament after
the surrender at 1imrick.
But what has been the test oath
government Of Missouri What has
been the policy of the Clovers. the
brakes and Strongs in Missouri
They copied this infamous Irish
code, They have fixed the same
disgrace upon Missouri which black
cned the name Of England. They
not only disfranchised voters, but
they filed the public jails with
Catholic priests and Protestant
minister's, and young girls who com.
mitted no other crime than teach
ing school. They have made a
Government more essentially and
thoroughly corrupt than any ever
known in all North America. The
tcst oath policy in Ireland had the
effect to taint the public heart and
conscience to the core. 1t offered it's
daily rewards for Hypocrisy and
perjury, and the rewards were
eagerly swallowed. The system is
true to itself. It's in Missouri just
what il was in Ireland: Missouri
Republican.

Contesting Elections--A Radical
Sheet on the 0Ontesting Situa-

SNAbSRSAANt1 S4AONSANAP - SseseAASeN@
Sheet on the Gontesting Situa-
tion.
The Chicago Tri6une,a a Radical
sheet, not having the fear of Eggle-
son, Ashley and Julian before its
eyes, thus alludes to the threats Of
certain defeated candidates of the
party to contest the election of the
Democrats who defeated them:
"Mr. Benjamin Egglcson, one of
the present mempers Of Congress
from Cincinnati, was defeated at
the election a few days ago by 224
majority. By comparison Of the
vote, it is ascertained that 227 Re-
publicans who voted all the rest of
the ticket, refused to vote for. Eg-
gleston, and the number of votes
being withdrawn, defeated him.
There is loud talk among his friends
of contesting the election. In the
Toledo, Ohio, District, Mr.. Ashley
is defeated by over 1 1000 maiorityin
District which gave the other can
didates on the Republican ticket
fifteen hundred majority. There
is talk there, too, of contesting the
election. In the fourth Indiana
Congressional District there was a
clear Republican majority for the
State Ticket, with the exception of
Mr.. Julian, the candidate for Con-
gress. Enough Republicans voted
against him or failed to vote for
him, to defeat him by a small ma
jority. He talked, also, OF contest
ing the seat, but subsequently o
shorter means of redress was dis
coveree. The vote of one pre-
cinct, strongly republican but large
ly anti-Julian was thrown out, and
Mr.. Julian was decIard elected
Thus the election of the Republican
State ticket was placed in jeopardy
that a local candidate might. de-
feat the popular will, and retain
his seat in Congress.
"If these pooposed contests were
merely absurd proceedings of par
ticular individuals, their action
wonld be of very little moment; but
in each case the proceedings based
upon the assumption that because
the next House Of Representatives
will be Republican, that body must,
as a matter of course, decide all
claims without regard to their mer-
its, in favor Of the Republican and
against the Democratic candidates.
It is time the Republican party
put the stamp Of reprobation upon
all such assumptions. The last
House strained law and justice to
their utmost extent in order to dis
place General Morgan, of Ohio; the
result is that the people Of that dis
trict have re elected General Nor
gan by majority of several thous-
and. lsallA
aThe Republican party is notjus-
tilted in sustaining a fraud, or in
arbitrarily putting out an opponent
to make place for friend who has
been repudiated by his constituents;
nor can the party affordto give any
encouragement to any contest the
real basis ofwhich is thatthe claim
ant is a Republican.
If Republican members Of Congress
cease to command the respect and
confidence of their own party and
get defeated, let The consequences
Of nominating such menbe born by
those guilty of the folly, but do
not undertake to reverse the pub
lie decision by another, acl Of folly.
The Republicans; as a general thing,
win be stronger with all that class
Of mon out Of Congress than in it.
