THE INTER-0CEAN|
ron 1874.
Established less than two years since as q
representative Republican paper, pledged to
maintain and defend the principles and or
ganization of the great N RATIONAL Republican
party, the Inter-Ocean has attained a circu-
lation and influence with the masses of its
the commencement of a new calendar year,
and to prepare for the preliminary work OF
the next campaign, the shadow of which is
the confident belief that its friends viii
need no other specific pledge for the future
than has been given i'll its columns from
day to day during the past eighteen months.
Since its first publication it has maintained
the position OF
The Leading Republican Newspaper
In the Northwest,
To which il has assigned by universal as
sent in the excited canvass which resulted
in the second and triumphant election OF
President Grant. Fe-
The Enemies Of the Country
Are vigilantly at work. Despite the over
Whelming rebUke administered to them in
1872, the opposition are skillsully massing
their forces for a more determined onslaught
upon the Republican organization at the
aged by the apathy of Republicans in the
"OH year, Selling the unprecedented f1nan-
cial stringency as pretext, and using as q
hoodwink the deep feeling among the agri-
cultural classes for better and chea per modes
of transportation than now exist.
The Democracy,
Under as many names as there are hungry
DemagOgues eager for Office is getting itself
into readiness to become once more the
Ruling Party of the nation.
In the south
The old Democracy of Secession and Rebel
lion is being warmed into life by the appa-
rent reverSeS Republicanism has suffered in
the North. The election of Allen in Ohio,
| the triumph of Tammany in New York
come to Anti-Repub1ican tickets in various
States of the West and Northwest have in
| spired the rebels of 1861 with the hope that
| the day is dawning when the Lost Cause is
| to be voted into victory they failed to
achieve by means of the bullet and bay
| Onet. Already r. NJ. T. Hunter, a former
| Cabinet of jeff Davis, has published his
| scheme for the virtual payment of
Four Hundred Millions OF DOllnrs
for the Emancipated slaves Of the
| South.
/ The Richmond, Va, Wing and Governor
Gilbert Walker are urging this plan 9th
all pertinacity; and there can be little doubt
| that a large party of Southern Representa-
E. uVes in the Forty-third Congress will be pre-
pared to advocate the payment of this mon
ey by the General Government. The past
| history of the Democratic party gives no
warrant that it will oppose this infamous
robbery of the people of the North for the
benefit OF traitors; but If the party is true to
| itself and its instincts, the South will find 1t
| ana Its representatives q subservient ally.
The Payment Of the Rebel Debt
| in many parts of the South, and is, without
doubt, one of the projects to which the lead.
| ing Democrats of that section would address
| themselves if the time should ever come
| when majority of the Northern states and
the General Government should be in the
hands of the parSe which helped the rebel.
These i are not :" fancifuI issues e Thax arr
| real dangers, either to be met face to face, OF
! else to be squelched in their inception by
the continued success OF that organization
| to the slaves, and destroyed the slavehold
| ing Confederacy.
