The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1872-03-16

Even Republicans acknowledge that Judge
Davis can carry Grants own State against
him, with the support of the worklngmen.
From the Detroit Union.
The Radical press are Just now engaged
in sneering at the National Labor
Convention and abusing the candi-
dates it put in nomination. Judge Davis
was a good enough Republican few short
days ago. Governor Parker was not bad
sort of man up to within few days. But
now that they have been placed In nomina-
ton for the Offices Of President and Vice
President, they are, according to Radical
papers, anything but decent, or reliable
citizens. This seems rather singular, in
asmuch as they are not nominated by either
Of the great political parties, and, as
matters stand now, are not likely 70 seri-
ously interfere with the pet scheme Of re-
nominating Grant. The cause of this oppo-
sitiOn and apparent fear must be looked for
in some direction than in the numbers or
inherent power of the Workingmen's party.
There il but one way Of accounting for it,
and that is this They are stricken with
the conviction that there is imminent dam
ger OF these two men being taken up by
the two opposition conventions that are to
be held within the next few months. They
look upon The Columbus Convention ~ one
of the great clements Of the opposition to
General Grant that il likely to unite in a
great political party, before which the Ad-
miniStration, with all its patronage and
power, viii be poweriess TO stand. We hive
in time when old party men are divided.
The radical party fear this com
binstion, ~ they have cause TO do. They
look upon the least demonstration OF

In the Printing Job of the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, we have a
reproduction of Tammany fnanciering
here in Mississippi. The popularity of
the Tammany management was the du-
plication of salaries and perquisites in the
same persons. And so Pease orders his
own iobs-revises his own accounts-and
votes himself his own pay; and when the
Conservative members of the Legislature
ask to be informed of the amount of the
cost to the people and by what authority
it has been opposed upon them, tyran-
meal majority composed in part of mem
bers who VIGOROUSLY were rejected by the
people at the polls, refuse to permit the
question to be answered or the matter to
be inquired intol In this latter proceed
ing they have out-Tammanied Tammany.
The men implicated in the New York
frauds never presumed to call in
question the right of inquirySby the tri-
bunals to which they were legally respon-
sible. Our people of all parties must
follow the precedent which was set by
the plundered New York community in
dealing with the authors of the Tammany
enormities, by visiting upon Pease and
his coadjutors their severest judgment,
and hurting them from power.

TmE PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS
From tl,e Holly surines Herald.

From the Holly Springs Herald
The aspect OF the political horoscope, just
now. Is somewhat cloudy, and hard to de-
fine, but the most reliable indications are
that the coming struggle for Supremacy IN
the Union will be confined TO the two great
factions of the Republican party-that Is,
the honest men of that party, who are saLls-
fed with the great object, and who are sick
of seeing Ihe South oppressed. on the one
hand. and the Off1ce-hOlding extremists, who
would further grind, and rob- and Cypress
US. on the other. II is probable that the
former will put some worthy man ike
Trumbull, in the field; and the latter VIII
re- nominate L. 5. Grant, the corrupt des-
pot. The Democratic party will. in all pro-
liability, not nominate candidate, ana IN
that event il is clearly the duty Of all DEM
ocrsts and Conservatives 20 support the
Liberal candidate who viii be pledged 10
the securing of amnesty TO the South, and
cleaning of the Augean stables of the Gov
ernor.
1t is becoming every day more apparent
as the settled policy Of the representative
men of that party, TO make no party Demo-
cratic nominations for President and Vice
President, thus yielding the Conservative
and Liberal Republicans the ground 10 ngnt
Oh, with tacit assurance OF the support OF
Democrats along the whole line.
We have published the foregoing from
a respected contemporary who has lived
''aftsr the straitest sect" of the creed, a
Dak ,crat-to show the drifting of the
popular current. 1t would seem that the
patriotic forces of the country are all
tending towards the same direction, viz :;
a combination of the reformatory ele-
ments for breaking the rod of the Cen
trslized Despotism which rules and ruins
in the name of Radicalism1 which substi-
-tutes the terrors of Martial Law for Civil
Government and pinions with the bayo-
net the intelligence and patriotism of the
Southern communities in order not to
preserve peace, but to plumber them for
the benefit of its agents and TO hold them
in subsection to its atrocious partisan
DEGREES. But we of the South can only
abide the movement. We cannot hasten
it by active participation. We can only

An Enormity.

We will see if the House adopts Pease's
amendment to the Senate bill authorizing
him to employ himself to execute the
printing that he himself may decide to
be necessary for the Department over
which he himself preeides; and relieving
him from the obligation to give bond for
the faithful and honest execution of the

This morning protest was offered by
the Conservatives and Democrats against
the indecent haste with which the Con-
gressional apportionment infamy bill was
passed the House yesterday. The Radi-
cal majority refused to permit the protest
to go on the journal, although the rules
of the House allow protests to be en-
tered, andit requires two-thirds vote
to suspend the rules. We have not time
or space for the protest in this issue, but
will produce it in our next. During the
discussion one or two Republicans sprang
to their feet and asked if anything per-
''sonaP was meant, though nothing per-
sonal had been said After the vote
was taken-to allow the protest to be en-
tered and declared lost. Mr. Hyer, of
Marshall, arose to the point of order that
it required a two-thirds vote under the
rules to prevent the protest from going
on thejournals. ct was decided against
him. While he was upon the floor he
stated that he considered the action of
the House yesterday infamous, and as
certain members on the Republican side
of the hall had asked if anything per-
sonal" was meant, he had only to say
that if the cap fit they could wear it.
That during his life he had learned that
when men did any infamous action, they
had great objection to its appearing in
print, and the refusal to spread the pre-
test upon the journals to-day was no ex-
ception to the rule. He was responsible
for what he said
In this connection we will say that the
members from Carroll (Messrs. Arm
stead and Streeter) voted against permit
ting the protest to be entered, and yes
terday voted to prevent the Conservatives
and Democrats from further participa-
ton in the actions of the House until
they pay an unjust and Illegal fine. II
is said that one, at least, of them has
formally connected himself with the
Radical party by taking part in their
caucuses.

On Wednesday last the resolution of
the Senate to adjourn on the 9Th of
April was concurred in by the House.
The Conservatives and Democrats stood
to their posts and prolonged the session
until the majority opposed to the resolu-
tion had left their seats. When it was
called up and action about to be had upon
it the opponents of the adjournment
seeing they were in the minority left the
House without quorum, but instead of
adiourning the session, the SergeaLt-at-
arms was instructed by a vote of the
House to bring in the absent members.
Then followed the most disgraceful scene
it was ever our misfortune to witness.
Negro members of the Legislature fleeing
down the streets with Sergeants-at-
arms in hot pursuit. One negro mem
Der crawled out of a window and en-
sconced himself upon the parapet around
the building fully thirty feet from the
ground and it was quite quarter of an
hour before he could be induced to re-
turn. The white opponents of the reso-
luton were not so conspicuous in their
attempts to defeat it, but some of them
rushed out of the Capitol and were driven
rapidly away in hacks. Finally, about
$50, P. NJ, quorum was had by the
Sergeant-at-arms bringing in three or
four members, and the resolution was
adopted.

to permit the investigation, and thus ad-
mitted the fraud and assumed on behalf
of the Radical party all the responsible
ity which attaches to it.
