Make Him Tell Iou!

When Radical asks you to vote the
Republican ticket, make him tell you
what has become of the millions upon
millions of dollars that have been paid
into the public treasury since the intro
duction of his party into power-that
there is ne account of now.
MAKEHIM TELL YOU why it is that
with all the taxes and tariffs that are
wrung from the people annually, the
public debt is still increasing at the
rate of ten millions of dollars per month !
MAKE HIM TELL YOU why his
party makes negro voters in all the
States of the South, and then denies be-
ing in favor of negro suffrage here IN
the North.
MAKE HIM TELL YOU what justice
there is in the Radical doctrine of taxa
tion-which exempts the rich from all
taxes and places them upon the shoul'
ders of the poor.
MAKE HIM TELL YOU, how it is
that three years after the war has
ceased, the Union, for which we were
told it was waged, is further from being
restored than it was in the beginning
MAKE HIM TELL YOU why the
bloated bondholder, who robbed the
government and invested the money be
stole in exempted bonds, should receive
gold for his interest, while you are
compelled to take greenbacks for your
work.
MAKE HIM TELL YOU why the
laboring men of the North should toll
and sweat day after day, to feed lot
of negroes and fatten pack of lousy
Bureau officials, who yearly take from
the public treasury over FORTY million
dollars
MAKE HIM TELL YOU what good
will arise from voting for Grant; how
much it will lesson your taxes-lower
the prices Of the necessaries of life, and
how soon it will restore the Union, and
make our Government government OF
white men, established by white men,
for the benefit of white men.

WHEN the Republican party was first
formed it Incorporated in its platform a
resolution rebuking Congress and the
Federal Government for its interference
with the people of Kansas. The mana
gers and organs of the party endeavor-
ed to secure their prominence by charg-
ing that the Government was trying to
force upon the people of that Territory
a constitution against their will, and
was travelling outside of its jurisdiction
by interfering in the local affairs of the
people. Since that time that party has
thousand times over eaten its own
words, and is new resorting to the use
of the military to enforce the same
principle on the South that it repudiat-
ed in its early organization.

A Radical Dem agogue

. In his speech at Lafayette, Indiana,
Mr.. CoLFAX said:
In 1860 you know men dared to stand
up in the South and denounce secession,
and declare their devotion to the Union;
now no man can do SO without being in
danger of his life. Speakers in the
South teach people to estracise those
who speak in defence of the Union.
1t is by statements like these, state
ments as utterly devoid of truth and
full of malevolent intentions as if they
had coma ced hot from the forge of SA-
TAN, that the candidate of the Radical
party for the second Office in the Gov
ernment attempts to delude the North
ern people. 1t is by means such as this,
means to which those noted as the
least scrupulous demagogues of a past
age and of other countries would scarce
have stopped for the attainment of a
political end, that the Radical candi-
date for the Vice Presidency seeks to
accomplish his own and his associates
election.
The exercise of the largest amount of
charity does not suffice to induce the be-
lief that SCHUYLER CoLFAX really him.
self credited that which he has d0liber-
ately stated as fact. He is not SOL
ONION by any means, but then it is certain
that he is no fool; and, possessed as he
is of the means of correct information
regarding the situation of the country,
it is absolutely impossible that he
should believe in the truth of what he
so formally and positively asseverates.
Can he make anybody else believe it y

A Contrast.

Kentucky, like Tennessee, was, during
and at the close of the war, filled with
heterogeneous elements. Those States
were to remain discordant and thrift
less, or to become harmonious and pros
porous, accordingly as bad or good
counsSls should prevail in their man
agement. Union men, secessionists and
negroes, abounded in both. In the
former, the Democratic policy of con-
ciliation and good will prevailed, and
a seat of war is turned into a garden OF
peace and prosperity! In the latter
the will of Stevens and Brownlow and
Congress prevailed; and the oldest of
the reconstructed" States is but little
better than Pandemonium.
Behold the contrast Cincinnati En-
quirer.

Right VS.. PRIVILEGE.

One of the prevailing fallacies, and
productive of practical mischief, in the
attempt to adjust the vexed question OF
suffrage in the South, is that which
treats its exercise as an inherent right
belonging to every one, and not as a
privilege, which, as an examination oi
the early constitutions of the States
will show, was extended by the commu'
nifty to the voter with great care and
discrimination. Under the sound doc.
trine which prevailed in Congress and
the State Legislatures of 1877, suffrage
was regulated with reference to
the stability of government and
held as privilege to be extended
to the intelligence, virtue and
personal worth, except that women
were excluded from its exercise. If,
however, it was right inherent, there
could have been no reason for the ex-
clusion of women, or indeed of the Grim
inal and infamous. Whilst even in
granting a privilege, there ought TO be
justice and impartiality, still, if the
public welfare requires arbitrary dis
tinctions to be made, if in providing in
good faith for this object it is necessary
to make distinctions of sex or of merit
there can be no question of the right
to do so. Certainly the fathers of the
republic showed no doubt upon this
subject, and the question of suffrage
was one which they bestowed more
care and anxiety upon than any other.

AFFLICTED.-A farmer friend, who
had often spoken of the fine form of a
certain young city cousin, was on a re-
cent trip shocked at her condition upon
returning from one of the seaside re-
sorts. She was bent over, and seemed
to be in pain, although her face looked
as pretty and healthy as ever. He call
ed the attention of his wife to her, and
then for the first time learned that the
complaint the fair one was troubled
with was the 'Grecian bend colic," or,
as some term it, the improper circum-
bendibustrosity.

The Price of Gold

why, under present circumstances,
should gold be maintained at a premi-
uul which damages the Interests of the
country, deranges its business, pro-
uuces confusion in the finances, and
anects the life and industry of all
glasses in the community IN. Y. Times.
Solely because of the extravaganza
and corruption of the party which rules
The country. Gold, as We all know, is
higher to-day than it was three years
ago, business more deranged and un-
certain, finances in a more confused
condition, and the lives and property
oi all classes less secure. All these fact
are strong arguments in favor of
change.

MENARD, the negro candidate for Con-

Irish or English, can reach the Presi.

FREE institutions rest upon popular
affection. When rulers abuse their
trusts and oppress the people, that af-
fection is alienated, and the govern

the sword, the bayonet and the cannon,

be asserted by revolution, or the dark.

Planchette is all the rage yet. A few
evenings ago a young married lady,
with several friends of both sexes, mar
ried and single, was consulting this
mysterious little instrument, when, in
reply to mental question by the afore-
said lady, Planchette wrote out, in a
large, legible hand, "a fine, large boy "
As a matter of course the question was
obvious; the blushing was confusing
and there were no more mental ques-
tions asked that evening.

ONE of the questions to be decided
November Sd is, whether the United
States army shall be the peoples SER
want or its master. Radicalism now ex.
cuses its enormous additions to the pub
lie debt on the ground that it is neces'
sary to support large standing army
to control ten States in the Union. De-
mocracy does not believe in so govern
ing States, and dispensing with troops
for that purpose will diminish the debt
which now presses so heavily upon the
people.

The Ghost Of Revolution.

The Radicals are making precious lit,
tie by their Misrepresentation of the
"war and revolution" programme false
ly attributed to General Blair. In every
speech which that gallant soldier makes
he exposes with new cogency the brazen
effrontery of the Radicals, who have al
ready revolutionized the Constitution

Union, and with military despotism
have LAID the foundations of negro su.
premacy from the centre to the verge OF
the republic.
Nobody believes in the ghost of revo'

to conjure up. Even capital, proverbial'
ly timid, finds its eyeballs quite un,
scared by the horrible vision.
