The Chicago Post, the only republican
sheet of that city, in remsrkiug upon the
recent election, says:
| In the last session of congress three men
were specially prominent as friends of mo-
| nopoly. MIR. Mccarthy. of New York, was
| the champion of the salt boilers. That q
few manufacturers of this prime necessity
Of every household might make inordinate
profits (they have been making from two IN
three hundred per cent J, Mr.. Mccarthy
IN wisely, unnecessarily and wIckedly KEEP,
up the tariff on this article, and BY 'log
rolling" with other monopolies succeeded IN
preventing as much reform as ststesmsnship
and the people demanded. Mr.. Mccarthy
has failed of re nomination.
Mr.. MCCARTHY vas supported by the voice
and vote of Lord John in this, Is the Post
says, wicked action of the leader of the sal,
monopoly. AS matter of consequence,
he people dispensed with the services OF
Mccarthy, and just SO surely will the people
| condemned alike by the voice of his party
and the people.
Again the Post condemns
| Mr.. D. J. Morrell, OF Pennsylvania, the
representative of the Bessemer steel monop
oily. He voted to put money in his owe
| pockets, and was not ashamed OF the
shameful record. Mr. norrel is elected by
the people even Of Pennsylvania district &c
stay at home.
| Another of the representatives of the
chsste republican party, one who wa.
especially prominent in the robbery ofthe
people of the west, to put money in the
pockets, already filed to depletion, of the
| capitalists of the east, is elected to retire
from the scene of his victorious legislation
| Lord John supported him in his rascalities
and will also be elected to retire by az
indignant and aroused people.
Again, from the same paper:
-pecial Legislative robbery, but the apologize

The darling of the republican tariff mo

Here are three representatives. par crcel

coincidence here is remarkable, inasmuch q,
the result goes to show that the people have
considered the action of these tariff ROBBERS &c

east, and in the defeat of the leaders to give

smallest of the small, the tail end of the
whole concern, has in every case, e1erted
himself, as far as he is capable of exerticn
10 carry out the schemes of the tariffties
and in their defeat he can read his owr
doom in the ensuing election, for the peo-
pie of Illinois will follow the example of ths
States of New York, Pennsylvania sne
Ohio, and return no more robbers to pursu.
