tho justice Of Mr.. Birds claim. We find
four DcML Gratis, headed by the great
aud mighty Senator + ON Jarl sou, vot.
ing TO Dust Mr.. :. aud give MIR. Bird III Z
seat. The Republicans voted solitlly
with these men, and the result was thai
Bird was succes sfi,l. The names Of these
Democrats are Jason Is. Brown, The
ringlcader, Di.tom0rc, Ialghery and
Francisco, and we hope they win be re-
mcmbcred by all tire men of our party,
and receive in the future their reward
for What, in our estimation, is crime
against right and justice.
Wo nave never heard any one attempt
TO explain the reasons for thi, sciiOn
upon the part Of the gentlemen aforc-
said; Tut We have hccr,l many surmiscs.
based upon pretty good evidence, which
do not reflect much credit upon them
as HONEST MEN. We arc no apolovist
TO: boilers and disorgan;z RS, but when
man is fairly and legally elected bv
Ill, people, it makes no difference uuon
what ticket, lic should certainly lc al
lowed TO hold the Office to which lie has
been chosen. These mon who voted for
this iccc Of infamous injustice can have
no excuse. II they wished TO rcbukc
disorganizcrs they had no right TO per-
pctratc an illegal act TO vent tLcir spite
upon man Of that Class.
II is freely and openly said by rel able
and truthful gentlemen, who were ut
indianapolis at the time. that Mr.. Birds
money was lavishly used, and some say
mat Jason BazOO Brown received the
Hons share. This demands invcstigl.
ton, and if it can be shown clearly that
this is true. tlisinan Brown should be
cxl oscI and denounced from one end OF
the State to the other, and all hoi est
d. mocrats slould hold him in utter
contempt, and refuse TO associate with
him. Such men arc a disgrace to any
parry, and tho sooner they arc kicked
out Of it the better il is for tho Purity of
the party We understand that many
Democrats have already given him the
cut direct. Jason ought not TO have
gone to see Old Moxa 10 soon after his
arrival at indianapolis. His character
has never been above suspicion. a id his
past reputation only makes people too
ready. now, to believe that he has allow
cd himself to he bought. We think that
his last exploit will bring him TO his
proper level and force h;," :" ~tirc to
private liic-and spend Il balance IF his
lays IN atoning for the disgrace he has
brought upon himself and the party
which he prcsumcs to represent.
We have noticed some hesitancy upon
Inc part Of Democratic journals to speak
Of this thing rs Il deserves. Every one
IL the fraternity should express himself
'.ccly, and act Independently in this
matter, even If Brown docs bc'Ong TO
