colored people to band together in a
hostile camp, provoking antagonism
and keeping alive the separation of
races. Above all there must be no
intimidation, but every voter must
act freely without eonstraint from

will it be when the two political par

SKETCH OF A GREELEY ADMINISTRATION


from Speech by Judge Stanley Mathews.l
And now, what have we on the other
hand? The Democratic party in the dis
guiso of Greeley and Brown and the Gin
cinnati platform
"The voice is Jacobs voice, but the
hands are the hands of Esau."
d And what is the mess of pottage for
which We are asked to sell our birth
right?
What rational expectation of any re.
form in the public service is to be found
in the success of this unnatural and un-
principled coalition Let every citizen
pause and reflect and answer for himself
that question.
The Democratic party, we may be as
.eured, has changed, not in its nature, but
It's situation. If it succeeds in electing
Mr.. Greeley to the Presidency, it is upon
the understood condition that, as hereto
fore in similar cases, he will bestow the
Offices of the Federal Government at
Washington, New York, and all the
country over, as rewards to those who
have efficiently aided in his elevation, or
to the friends of those who have that
claim upon him. We shall see at Wash.
ingtsn, as we have seen in times past, the
same disgraceful scenes, Of crowds of
Office seekers besieging the White House
and every head of department., to turn
out the 1nEambent in every subordinate
position to make room for Greeley Dem
ocrat. We shall see the same recommen-
dations from politicians Of every decree,
based, upon the consideration that the
applicant has rendered important services
to the party during the preceding cam.
paigu, We shall see the newly elected
Congressman, who are to purify our polls
tics, cringing in the ante-rooms at the
Capitol, doing the dirty work of office
brokers in pay of the services rendered
them, in their nomination and election,by
the professional lobbyists that control the
wards and townships. slali r. aes
In this trading and scrambling, what
earthly guarantee have wei do not say
for improvement or reform, but for main
tanning things, even in as good condition
as they are @ 9s4 Y5 sisa
If lam asked to justify this prediction,
do it upon the general expectation
among The Democrats themselves, as man
ifested in the zeal and unanimity with
which, fingiDg to the wings the princi.
pies, traditions and prejudices of their
historical party, they rushed to the en-
brace of a candidacy which gives the lie
to every profession ever made in the Dem

next morning, the burnt plain was dot
huts, and all idea of useless despai,
seemed to have given way to vigor.
GUS impulse of restoration. But the
amount of misery, although not con-
spicuously visible, must have been
very great. The government contrib.
uted large stores of rice for the relief
OF the sufferers, and private contribu-
tions were offered in abundance and
gratefully received. Although the pride
OF the native officials withheld them
from soliciting aid from strangers, they
gladly accepted the little that the for
eign residents of Yeddo were able to
. offer. Tho people of Yokohama
neld q meeting upon the sub.
ject, and, after an elaborate in
vestigation, decided that, inasmuch as
the authorities had supplied, food
for II, 600 people, leaving only 5000
unprovided for, they found it unneces-
'sary to interfere further than to "ex
press their deepest sympathy" For
this heartless indifference sluggish
shame is just now beginning to appear,
but the time has gone by when any aid
could be Of practical. benefit, even if
any were contemplated, which is not
probable. The entire pecunisry loss
by this fire is estimated at over one
million and = half of dollars Eight
persons wete killed outright, and some
So S, others were desperately wounded.
The list Of houses destroyed includes
II large Government Offices, 60 temples,
2S7 small public Offices, and 753 pri-
vate dwellings,, shops, &c. With all
frequent devastations by fire, plaques,
and earthquakes, but two greater pub
lie calamities have occurred in Yeddo:
since the time of it's foundation.
