returns and declare the result. The
official announcement will, we pre-

known-that the Democrats have

lana and the other Southern States
back into the Union as speedily as
! possible But, really, this Is by no
means their intention. From the
radical " standpoint nothing is
to be seen on the political horizon,
on, at least, nothing is sought, but
electoral votes. In the Tooly
loil dialect, reconstruction has
/ never meant anything but the SUI
premacY of the Republican party.
To this end every act of legislation
has been directed, not with a de-
cent concealment, but with a
shameless avowal Of the object.
The general theory of the re-
construction laws was such a reor-
ganization Of the Southern politi-
cal communities as would assure
the aseendency of the party In al
lance with the radicals, and there
by obtain the addition of the sew
entY Southern votes to The electoral
capital Of the Republican candi-
date. It was through this alliance
that caFpet-baggery rose into pre-
dominance IN the South, seized
control of the conventions, framed
the Black Crook Constitutions, and
organized the negro vote in oppo-
sition to the rights and interests of
the white race. For itself, carpet
baggery was to have universal Of
fee and unlimited plunder to the
National Republican party were to
be given the electoral votes which
carpet-baggery promised to con-
trol. In anticipation Of this return
the radicals risked portion of
their strength at the North. They
fancied that the deficiencies which
they saw To be inevitable there
would be more than Supplied by
the accassions which they expected
here. and SO, when they found
themselves between the devil of
Democracy and the deep sea of
" trooly loil " carpet -baggery, they
took Greeley's advice c.nd plunged
into fathomless depths Of expe-
dient, from which only superhu-
man fortune could rescue them.
In the mean time as reconstruc-
ton went on the prospect of cleo
toral votes became DINNER. The
elections have been held I'M several
Of The Southern States es-Alabama,
South Carolina, Georgia, North
Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana.
It is probable that in All of these
the Black Crook Constitutions
have been ratified. garpet-baS-
gerry has fulfilled its promises for
itself, but has shown that il is una
bic to fulfill its promises to its al
les by force of fraudulent regis
trations, wholesale lisfranchisa-
ments, and swintlHliing elections, itI 81
has managed to get within sight Of
those pleasant official places in
which It seeks to drop its lines,
But these elections haze disclosed
a truth which ID unpleasant to va
grant and mendicaat loilty I" and
quite astounding To radical expect
ations. It ii PLAIN that, at the very
first elections under the recon
strueked Governments All Of these
States, except, perhaps,
South Carolina, VIII vote the Dem
ocratic ticket Reconstruction,
therefore, If carried 10 its logical
conclusions, VIII simply give sixty
three additional electoral votes to
the Democratic candidate for the
presidency. The summing up of
