Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-09-28

lust one word in reply to the continu-
al croakings of Democratic orators
and papers about the undue influence
Of New England, just all the people
Of the great west have to do when
they get tired of it, is to vote against
it. New England is powerless against
your wills.
AN UNFAIR STATEMENT.
Mr.. Pendleton in q recent speech,
said that the Republican party have
collected S2S00, 100000 IN taxes, and
have paid off but $251 000, 600 and he
then asks what we did with it? leav-
ing the impression that vast amount
had been squandered
/ will answer this. At the close of
the war, our liquidated national debt
was about S2,7S0,000,000, The pres
ent debt is 2,270, 100000. so that we
have paid off $5OS, 100000. Besides
the SS12, 900, 900. of unliquidated debt
we have in about six years paid anu
ally S130,000,0 interest on the
principal of this liquidated debt or
$3.50, 600, 600 of interest on the public
debt. Now adding these sums and
them from the original
debt we find that we have but
720,000,000 left with which to
pay the expenses of the government
for the last six years. 1t has cost
less under the Republican admins
ton to pay the expenses in greenbacll
per capita, than it cost in gold under
Buchanans administration.
Mr.. Pendleton was too intelligent
not to understand what had bccom
of the money, why then did he not
like an honest man, say that it had
cost but 5720,00C,0 900 to pay the ex
penses of this government during the
last six years, instead of unfairly
leading people to believe that 4 great
wrong had been perpetrated against
them.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
General Grant, had seen too many
brave men dead upon the battle field,
to consent that the country should
be plunged needlessly into war. and
therefore while determined to do
nothing that should compromise the
name of the nation, he adopted
a policy that resulted in the adjust
ment of our difference with Great
Britain, with honor to ourselves
and to the English people. The
course taken in this matter will furn-
ish precedent by which European
governments may adjust many de.
ciences, which heretofore they have
left to the uncertain and disastrous
arbitrament of war. The same con.
servative policy has been pursude
toward our Indian tribes, with like
happy result.
SOLDIERS HoaE.
The last Republican Congress:
inaugurated civil service reform meas
ures, which undoubtedly will produce
happy results, and 6,000,000of fine;
and forftures imposed on deserter:
has been devoted. with sort ofpoetiC
justice to home for wounded sol
diers. So that to-day there are a
Dayton, Ohio, 1900 disabled soldiers
surrounded by every luxury that only
the largest wealth can purchase. A
Xenia, there are 300 children, tn'
orphans of our soldiers who fell for
their country, These little ones, a Re
publican party took in its arms anC
will provide well for them, and We
the democrats voted against it-tht
''soldiers home"
The Republican party that in tn
short space of ten years, fought :
great war and has so far reduce;
the debt is certainly fit to be intruste(
with the affairs Of the nation i'll til,
time of peace-and is this a recor,
from which Republicans shall turI
away and 60 with the Democrats
party, Where will that party lea'
them?
LET Us SEE!
That party expects its support from
the South The Southern vote viii
go far to put it in power, and there
fore must be conciliated. The Sout
ern leaders will say to the Ohio Dem
ocrats, when we went into the war
you promised us that 100000 Demo
Gratis would oppose our coertion, thi
was not done. You must now stan,
by us, take care of us and put us on
footing of equality with the north.
They may with indignation nov
disclaim that such q course is furthes
removed from their intentions, bu
nevertheless. with just such a polio,
they must fall, if they would retail
the support of the only constituenc,
that they can look upon as anyway
nearly reliable and you may depent
upon it that they will come to thes
terms. / do not want the Southerl
debt paid. / am not ready to oblit
crate all distinctions between a patrio
who fought for his country, and
traitor who fought to destroy hi
country, and yet, they profess to hav
taken
NEW DEPARTURE.
If what they profess, be true, the.
have come over to our side, and ther
is no need of them keeping up thei
party organization. But, they ar
not honest in these professions. /
simply amounts to this that the wire
pullers of that party to impose upo
their followers by stulifying them
selves, in order that they may hav
the ''loaves, fishes and wine, for whicl
they hunger and thirst and for whicI
they are likely to wait these man
years.
This New Departure bill opens th
wants of the Democratic party wh'
were really honest in their professions
principles, like q blanket soaked i
ice water:
THE KU KLUX BILL.
What is it? A law to control
band of four hundred thousand wei
