the REPUBLICAN, LEADERS. 7
The Credit MobIlier venality Of the foremost
Republican Congressman IL the greatest shame
70 which the country has ever been subjected j
The corruptions OF the Tammany Ring by which !
the City OF New York was plundered OF $4,000 {
900 the coIruptlons OF the caTpet-bag govern |
ments imposed upon the Southern States by
which they were pIundersd OF more than $780,
O00, 900. were no such shame TO the United States
as the less profitable venalty Of the Credit Mo-
bller COngressmen. Neither of these public
scandals incupated the real or the reputsd lea
ders OF great political party. The Credit No
bIler scandal ineupates the very foremost leaders

nent Democrat IN u single municipality. lie |
grasped az power In the State, and the DemocrA- |
tic party denied it TO him. He grasped at power |
IN the city, and by the purchase OF Venal Kspub- |
can legislators at Albany obtained it and held il
long enough to consumate his robberes, but there
upon was denied recognition in the Convention
OF the Democratic party and within three years
was expelled IRON power, sued for his money,
and prosecuted for his crimes. In the field of
Federal politics he never figured nor attempted
to figure, and upon the principles policy OF his
party III the city or State he exercised no inGu-
ence. He wore the Democratic livery because It
} gave him better opportunities OF plunder, the
Democrats being majority in Nav York.
The carpet-baggers vi the South were confined
to u iew SIatss, and although imposed upon those
q States by the votes of the Republican party in
Congress- 1t was indirectly, by the dental of pow
