POLITICAL NOTES
s.yhe dominant party, backed by bayonets |
sEd the powerfuI influence o. an immense fed |
eraf patronage, has for the past ten years been
resfstable.-O Democratic Paper
We remember which side the ebay
oaetss were on in the. early history of
Kansas. The same party that tried to
''bayonet" slavery into Kansas. and fail
ed, tried afterwards to 'bayonet" the
government out of existence. They
are now trying to ''bayonet" Republi-
canism out of the southern half of this
Union. The last Democratic admins
tration run all the federal patronage
to aid rebels. 1t is so amusing to
hear these same rebels now, after
all their deyilish schemes have been
thwarted, howl about federal bayo-
nets" and federal patronage" because
the people won't trust them again with
the conduct of the affairs of the coun-
try.
'sThe question of saving the Union from
dissolution for time engrossed the attention
to the exclusion Of every other subject"
The above extract is from Demo
cratic paper at Springfield, Missouri,
which deprecates the abnormal" con-
dition of the public mind. The abnor-
NAL part consists in the refusal of the
people to hand over the government to
the hands of those who so lately tried
lie four years war to destroy it. This is
entirely wrong, in the estimation of the
abnormal individual who wrote the
above sentence. If we remember cor
rectly, the question of "saving the
Union" did not engross the attention
of Missouri Democrats so much as the
question of destroying it. For speci-
men of cool impudence, commend us
to a regular Missouri Democratic edi-
tor.
In South Carolina a convention of
colored men, to organize a political par
ty of their own, has been called at Co.
lumbia, October 1S.
Laura DeForce Gordon, of Stockton,
California, advertises herself as a candi-
date for State Senator from San Joa-
quin county, and calls on all who wish
to see morality rule in legislative halls
to take due notice and govern them
selves 'Gerdonly. The question is, will
morality gain much if that gal should
be elected?
sour boots are taxed, by the tarlf, 60 per
cent" To put stop to this oppression, let
| every good citizen assist in booting the kadi-
Gals out OF Oflce.-DemocrGtic Exchange.
Yes, and boot the Democrats into Of
fee; let them get up another rebellion,
and then the tax on our boots will be
S1.20 instead of 60 cents. These Dem
ocratic papers never tell how much of
the tax on articles of every day use
they are directly responsible for.
It is not the southern people, or the Demo-
cratic party anywhere, who desire to keep
alive the eXasperating issues of the past
Democratic Paper.
oh, no, of course not. There is moth
ing which Democrats so much desire
IS that their past record should be for
gotten. They don't like to have it al
luded to even. They want to be Judged
by their future record. Having be-
haved so badly in the past, the people
are not willing they should make any
more record in national affairs.
!. Col. G. G. Carpenter, the Republican
candidate for Governor, and Hon. Geo.
&. Wright, U. S. Senator, opened the
campaign at Council Bluffs, Iowa, by a
speech, on the 18th ult. It was the first
political speech Senator Wright has
, made in seventeen years, as his position
on the Bench has kept him from taking
an active part in political contests here

The Republicans of Ohio have OPEN
ed fire sail along the line" and the
Democrats are hunting their holes.
"PUT Me In My LITTLE BED."-An
exchange condenses the resolutions OF
the Ohio Democratic State Convention
as follows:
} WHEREAS, 1t has become painfully
apparent that we cannot carry the North
unless we indorse the amendments to
the Federal Constitution, and cannot
carry the South if we do therefore be
it
RESOLVED, That we cordially accept
the cussed, ill-begotten Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Constitution
al Amendments, and earnestly beg the
American people to elect US to Office, so
T that we can prevent the enforcement OF
, said amendments.
No wonder Gen. McCook, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of Ohio,
has been hauled of the track and pro-
nounced insane by his friends, if the
following, published In the New York
Tribune of the 22d nit, is a sample of
his argument:
| Gen. McCook. in his great campaign speech,
IL said to Lave expressed himself on the tariff
cents bushel on iron-salt-sugar mean.
WorKingmen, think Of that. And the bond
ain't taxed, but your salt is taxed, your sugar
| mean, two cents q bushels pound mean.
And who says that Gen. jackson was not q
great manf Who ever heard OF him taxing
poor mems salt, sugar l mean, two cents .
Eternal sugar should be free from tax! Then

lions, and only two hundred and eighty thou
sand paid on In nve years. Where has the
J rest gone tor The Republicans stole It to en-
rich the iron-masterA."
The Democrats now take the ground
that:
l. There never has been any Ku-Klux
in the South.
2. The Ku-Klux organization has
been disbanded.
8. The members of the Ku-Klux are
all Republicans.
The last allegation is demonstrated
by the well ascertained fact that all the
murdered men are Republicans.
A SPECIMEN OF REBEL TRUrH.-A
Democratic paper published at Wash
ington, called the PatT cot, gives an ac-
! count of Senator Pomeroy's efforts to
obtain Government aid for railroad,
and winds up with the assertion that
the railroad is the property of Pomeroy
and his son-in-law. AS the Senator
: never had any children, it may puzzle
folks TO know how he became pos
sessed of a son-in-law. It is upon the
same principle that relatives are manu-
featured for Grant, and placed in public
offlces.-White Cloud CHIEF.
