also existed in some localities Tor cleansing

and futil mass Of local abuses
which have accumulated in th
rear uf the Republican party while it va
engaged in fighting the rebellion in it
'front.' An organization framed for tn
purpose Of fighting the national bnttls 10
union and freedom, gained, at many points
local strength which made it q convenieu
thing to fasten On md g1ow rich by paur
lenpg. Men who were supposed to b
loyal to the great questions Of unior
freedom, and equal nights, had leasuc
the art Of coming very little patriotism
into very large fortune, in very fe

in some ward OF city. Tho purity, al
