Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1872-09-12

CoEnuprroN At UoMr.--The Literal
continues on the war path with no.
spect to this subject. The last issue
responded to our call for names as
figures. 1t names W. II. Stivers and
tho "star." We publish the figures
in another column. The comments
Of the Liberal are uncalled for. The
Liberal would demarr if We should
point out delinquency, however
glaring, Of some Insignificant mem
Der Of the Alliance party as evidence
OF the prevalence Of corruption and
wickcdness Of that party as whole.
The Literal ought to know that Mr..
Stivers is not representative, IN any
sense, Of tho Republican party, and
that the Republican party is not 70.
sponslblc for his delinquencies. Be-
sides, we are not certain that the do.
linquencics charged are true. The
showing gives prima facie evidence
that an explanation IS possible. At
best, the charge only affects the bust.
ness ability Of Mr.. Stivers, and in this
respect it SCENE that he is an humble
follower Of the Liberals candidate for
President. We think Mr.. Stivers
can make the thing clear to even the
Liberals apprehension.

This Republican party bases its
clam OF record of things already
done. It offers not only promises tor
the future. but refers tho public to a
history Of accomplished facts. A ma
ton saved That of itself ought to
be sufficient. But it adds wise laws,
faithful administration, individual lib
erty preserved to all classes; the ma
tlonal debt rapidly reduced, taxes re-
lieved, the civil service reformed,
homesteads given to the poor, and
the interests of labor everywhere
protected. These arc some of
the behefcent results that
have come from Republican
rifle: On the other hand,
what has the Greeley party done
that it should be elevated to power ?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They
offer promises only. In some Sec
tons the elements composing that
party still holds to the perlicions
doctrines from which came the rebel
lion. They give no history 10 COM
mend them to tho favor Of the pub
lie. Their entire stock consists in
promises. only. The people will not
be likely to give certainty for an
uncertainty. They have tried Grant
and found him true Centerville
Cttisen.
