POLITICAL SCAVENGERS.

Even infants have reason ana 'pst'bct
enough 10 make them dread FIRE after once
being burned a monkey refuses to touch
spirits after once being made drunk on bad
whisky. and dog that has once attacked a
skunk can never be made to do it again, but
The wild, crszed black and tan fanatic. it
would seem. has less sagacity than all these.
They are sverlastingly concesliug their pr'n"'
Piles bunting some dishonest traitor to hood
wink the masses With and catch their votes
OF doing some other foolish thing that even
dog would not do the second time.
The old Wing party commenced this sort
of policy 10 1910. We wish it distinctly
understood that in speaking Of the old Wing
party we have reference only to the dishonest
abolition wing of that party which did con-
troll its actions as early as the campaign Of
1910. At that time Henry Clay was the
great embodiment Of the honest portion Of
the partys priuci pies, but the policy, double
dealing and dupIici'y wing carried the day
and threw Clay overheard and put 10 nomi
nation General Harrison and John Tyler.
This accomplished, they passed resolution
that it was iuexpedisut to declare their priu'
cip'es TO the public and adjourned. John
Tyler was southern anti.bank STAKEHOLDER,
and was put on the ticket with the full
knowledge Of his principles to catch votes
They succeeded. Harrison and Tyler we're
inaupurated and in one short month the
hungry hounds harrassed the life out Of the
old man-Iiterslly murdered bin by inches
through application for place, and be died
and was gathered to his fathers. Tyler be-
come President and in three months they
were Offering rewards for his assassination.
And whyi Because lie was honestly carry
ing out the very principles be was known to
hold to when he was nominated and elected.
In 1913 they run general Taylor and Fill
more, and elected them, barrassed the life
out Of Taylor, Fillmore became President,
took the true Union stand, signed the Com.
promise measures Of 1851, and has been
cursed by the mad creatures ever since. This
sort Of tao,icA they continued to pursue with
variations until, in 1860, through the division
Of the Democracy, they got The man they
wanted.
They then refused all overtures for com.
promise and drove The country besdlong into
war. The war become odious through their
stealing bu'chering and abolition procIama'
lions, and the State elections were going
against them everywhere. In this emergen.
cy they, to secure the reelection Of the tool
Lincoln, placed Andrew johnson on the tick
Of and through the army and terrorism they
! succeeded. johnson became President and
has literally and honestly carried out the pro-
claimed doctrines upon which be was chosen;
declaring, both before and after bis election,
that secession was a uuli,y, illegal and void,
that when the rebellion ceased that all the
States we're 10 the Union, entitled 10 represen.
tston and perfect equality with every other
State. For this johnson, the man of their
own choice, has been bounded, prosecuted,
vili6ed, shoru Of the legitimate functions Of
bis office and we'll nigh impeacbed and ex
PEELED from Office, through perjury Of United
States Senators.
But the country is yet safe. Seven honest,
conscientious republicans refused TO commit
perjury and the mad destruc'ionists have
again been made 10 bite the file. 10 those
their bitter days Of anguish, they return
again to their old tactirs They nominate a
man for President who has no history, no
known principles or politics, in the hope that
enough simple people will support him to
secure his election by the aid Of negro votes.
Well, should Grant 10 elected. Of which there
is not even a possibility, be would most ss.
suredly rebel and then we would have the
same mad scenes rs-enacteI that have just
transpired with johnson. This time how.
ever, they have got one Of their own stripe
on the ticket with Grant and there may be
a little more method 10 their madness. They
may have concluded TO dispose Of Grant in
case be should be obstinate OF have any
conscience left, as Lincoln was disposed Of,
and thereby secure the place for Cofax wao

selves. How gladly these radical carron
birds welcome TO their embrace oil corrupt,
thieving tyraunical scsmps who have once
tainted the Democracy by their seeming

Of those who left our party for its good and
