Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1872-06-27

sought amalgamation with the spurious,
of the Republican, there is possibility
of some good coming out oft But "who
can bring a clean thing out of an unclean"
''can the Ethiopian change his skin or the
Leopard his spots? Then may we expect
to do good who are accustomed to do
evil"
| What has the custom of the Democrat
ic Party for fifteen years past been, but to
do eUd 1t attempted to force slavery on
the people against their will. 1t attempt
ed to quarter the union. 1t has always
been the leader of political corruption
from Jackson gifts to secure office, down
to James Buchanan. That it has some few
to be wondered at.
But how few in control with the party
that attempts to shed its copperish skin
| upon a few disaffected Republicans. I'M
agine the creeping, fawning, so called
Liberals, crawling in at the tail, as Tom
Hendricks. leaves his Shiny record, and
looking back says ys:-"Gentlemen had no
expectation of being the nominee of the
convention" and then after spewing out
his old state rights doctrine, contradicts
| himself by saying: "W6 ha0e turned our
backs up0n the past We stand in the pres
ent and look to the future The past is
lost to u.s. In saying we have turned
our backs upon the past how does it tai
ly with the second resolution of the con
vention? viz. "All the political right and
| franchises W hich have been lost through
that conclusion should, and must be
promptly restored and reestablished so
that there shall be henceforth no proscrib-
ed class"
How this con be done with the conclud-
| ing sentence Of the resolution remains yet
to be seen. How W. at has been declared
on the stump by every Democrat speaker
that the ''nigger has no rights, the white
man is bound to respect and the rights
of the southern ant ocrat, can be restored
and impartial suffrage" shown without
respect to color can only be done by Dem
ocratic instrumentality by making black
white f.nd white black The Democratic
southern rulers have been remarkable
success formerly in this business, now
they of Indiana propose to reverse the
operation for them and make white black.
Sumner says Grant can't rule this ma
| tion." Hendricks says: he is not afraid
OF the one man power, but the ring by
which he is surrounded. Wen may he be.
1t was ling that Hendricks j ohm G.. Da
Wis and every enemy TO his coun try in time
OF war feared and that ring will generally
vote as they taught.
How do they propose to cha uge this
ring they so much fear? By putting their
copperIsh skin ON Horace Greeley who
can wear war placards OF the Tribune on
one side, and bail JEFF Davis on the other?
| How do they propose state rig ht to
work? only in the manner hat the Dem
ocrats ofthe state shall have the offices by
an election ofa straigh out and out Dem
ocrat ticket with new Republican dress.
This wont win. Corruption has been
known in broad CLOTH and though it ap-
pears choice to Julian to go home and wait
an appointment from Greeley on the
strength Of his humiliating figure and
BaylesS Hanna and the Marshall County
Namesake of Greeley, Horace Corbin, di-
rect Indiana in the Baltimore convention,
this is all done as an example of the
rights which means in the example of In
diana convention, the rights of Democrats
to hold the offices of the State, with an
old man in his vascillation and dotage
like Buchanan to play the tool with. All
folly. No Buchanan at the helm, no
Scott at the head of the ring, Hendricks
fears. Nor must there be another traito-
rous Senate to carry our State as was de-
signed, nor Morton, or much less Tom
Hendricks in the Governors chair the
very man whose influence largely went
against the loyalty oflndiana.
The evil that men do live after them"
said the Roman orator and how nice the
record of Hendricks will sound when O..
P. Morton, whom he fears as one of the
ring around Grant. shall show itup. Now
The campaign has opened and the name of
Browne is published for the north, we
shall be glad to see the record of the
Genl and Tom Hendricks contrasted.
