The Message.

We have delayed the publication OF
the REPUBLICAN one day, so as to
enable us to lay the Presidents Mes
sage before our readers, in supple
mental form not for any special
merits contained therein, but for the
purpose of enabling them to learn
from his own mouth what consu-
mate humbug we have for President,
His pet scheme, that insignificant
negro Eden, ST. Domingo, receives his
largest attention, while the great war
cloud (the Alabama claims) which has
overhung this country and England
for five years past, is discussed in two
dozen lines, thus again bottling Beast
Butler as effectually as he did in hi.
war report in 1864. We will refer to
the "Government" again at some
future time.

Jusr So.--A late issue of the Wash.
ington Patriot contains the following
paragraph "Ono of the FIRST duties
OF the Democrats, after the meeting OF
Congress, should be to demand an i'm.
mediate reduction Of the army. II
national troops are only to serve as a
political police, and to be transported
from place to place, at the peoples cx
pensc, to promote the Jehcsts of party
then the time has come when the army
should be cut down to tho actual
wants Of proper military service, OF
be disbanded. This is the day and
the hour to strike down usurpation
before il becomes formidable by habit
and dangerous by abuse"

gushing from the base of a mountain
where running water was not before

kept on the increase during the dry
weather. When the late rains set in
it passed away suddenly, in six hours
time, leaving greasy dark colnrod
matter, which adhered to everything

TUE Missouri ELECTION AND GRANT.
The Cincinnati Gazette, (Rcp. } says;
When President Grant concluded 10
interfere in tho Missouri elections he
yielded to bad advice. The contest
there was one that he could well af-
ford TO lot alone; but he was made to
believe that he could control il, and,
unfortunately, he undertook chat job,
The election Of Brown by forty thous
and majority is the result. 1t is to
be hoped that this lesson will be heed
cd by the President, and that among
other things, it viii convince him that
the class OF men who led him into the
Missouri snare, are not snfe advisers.

STILL WHIsTLING - The Radical
leaders are evidently in trouble over
the result of the late fall elections, al
though they seem to be pleased. But
they are only whistIing TO keep their
courage up. They give no figures
which is the true test Of loss and gain.
Their strongholds in the East and
West seem TO be greatly demoralzcd.
To illustrate; Massachusetts, gave
Grant 1876 majority in 1868, and
Illinois 57,l53; now the former State
gives but 30,SG9 for the Radical can
didate for Governor, and in the latter
State their majority is but 24,G72.-
Michigan gave Grant 81, ,433, now the
Radicals have but 1920 majority I;
and the word "white" is stricken out
of the State Constitution by only L.
32O, and this small majority is count
ed, not voted, by the Radical rascals
who are terribly frightend over the
result. We might refer to score of
like instances The tide is against
Radcalsm.
The Democratic majority in Ken
tucky this year, is 33,l45 to $3.50
last year; this reduction occurs iron
the fact that $1,000 negroes voted the
Radical ticket this year, something
the halfof them will never do again
because scalawags and carpet.bag
gers in that State are just as charac
terless as IN the other Southern States
and "Sambo" will fully realize that
fact before six months more rolls over
his kinky head.

AFTER THEIR ScALrs. Michael
Scanlan, the ostonsibe editor of the
IRISH Republic, Radical paper in the

The Republic was established for the
purpose Of securing the Irish vote TO

TREMENDOUS TEA TRAIN.-On Sat
urday at noon a train of nineteen cars
loaded with tea, direct from San Fran,
cisco, passed through here, on the
way to New York. This is the lar.
gest cargo of tea that has ever been
transported over the Pennsylvania
railroad Tho train was to run on
the Pacific express schedule, but the
many hot boxes prevented this pro.
grammo from being carried out. Not
wilhstanding this drawback the time
made was good, and the tea arrived
at its destination quicker than it would
had il been sent by way Of the New
York Central. 1t is estimated that
the cargo was worth between $500.

white voters, who are opposed to
amslgamaliug and herding with ne.
grocs, The Journal in question in al.
luding TO the late election in Michi.
gan, says:
"The constitution Of Michigan is
now in accord with that of the Uni.
ted States, the word "white" having
been stricken ont by a vote of The
people at the recent election. This
action was of no practical consc.
quonce, save II demonstrated that
Michigan, like the rest of the States,
has large number OF fossils among
her population. These, it is unneces
sary to state, voted NO"
Itappcars that the number of "fos
sils" was so large in that excessive
Radical State, that the word "white'
is stricken out by only 1900. 1t il
really claimed by the 'fossils' that
that was lie majority against strik
ing it out, but the Radical election
officers have perpctratcd frauds
enough to count it on the other side
Let the ncgrophobians try that
question in Pennsylvania and they will
find large majority of "fossils7 in
the State, and if the Forneys, Gamer.

bed, wash and vote with negroes, lc.
