sherman on Thurman.


Senator Sherman made an able
speech at Alliance on Monday, from
which we extract as follows:
My colleague, Judge Thurman, pre-
sents in ample array, the Credit Mobi-
lier, and salary grab, and though the
Democratic party did it's full share of
both these iniquities, yet, with singu-
lar unfairness for man in his posi-
| ton, he seeks to make them party
measures, and with th e full knowledge
that his own most intimate and trust
ed personal and political friends and
associates participated in them, he
charges them to the Republican party,
and therefore that the Democratic
party of Brooks, Boyer, jameson, Van
Trump, etc, should be entrusted with
political power. These
two matters are in no sense political
They are questions of individual re-
sponsibility between each member of
Congress and his constituent. The
attempt to pervert them into accusa-
tons against either party is uncandid
and unfair, unless party is holden
for the individual rascalities of its
members. If so, what power would
save the Democratic party Nothing
could be more unfair than the speech
of Judge Thurman at Waverly, in
which ignoring all the great political
issues of the past, the present and the
future, he arraigned the Republican
party for the salary bill and the Cred
it Mobilier. Every Democratic Rep
resentative in Ohio either voted for or
took the back pay. The majority of
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives voted for the.salary bill and near
ly all OF them took the back paw.
Judge Thurman alone of the Demo.
cratic party from Ohio did not take
the back pay.
The best evidence that the salary
bill is not a party question, is that
Judge Thurman and ] voted alike
against the bill in all its stages, and
each declined the back pay Onparty
questions we were not apt to vote to-
gether.
And so with the Credit Mobilier.
OF the eleven members arrafqned for
taking stock in the Credit Mobilier.
two of them-Brooks and Boyer
were Democrats, and that is about the
proportion of the parties in Congress
in 1856. The case of Brooks, now
dead, was worse than all others, for
he was not only member of Con-
gress, but Government Director un-
der law which positively forbade
him having any interest in the compa-
ny.
The founders and managers of the
road were of both parties. Whatever
fault you find in either measure is the
fault Of individual members of Con-
gress. The Republican party of Ohio
has expressed its unequivocaI reprov-
al of both the Credit MobiIier and the
salary bill, and heartily assent to
this Judgment.

Party Responsibility.

The Republican party is responsible
for those measures and acts which it
endorses or defends. To hold it ae-
countahle for every act of its servants
is to condemn community for every
transgression of the law No code of
laws can make men honest; no organ
ization can be entirely free from ras-
cality. Laws can restrain the disor-
derly and punish rascality when found.
Beyond this, neither law nor organiza-
ton can be Justly held responsible for
the shortcomings of those who are
dishonesty inclined. Human judg-
ment is often in error; confidence, ap-
parently well founded. is abused men
who hold good regulations fail the
trusted turn out rascals. This has
been found so from the foundation of
time, and will, in all probability, con
tinue to the end. The best we can hope
foris that bad men, as soon as known,
shall be driven from power; that ques-
tionaole public II measures shall be de-
nounced that good men shall be Sc
lected to right the wrong done; and
that sharp watch be kept upon those
who are for the time being called to
represent and protect the peoples in,
terests. The purest individual that
ever lived has made mistakes; has re-
posed confidence in unworthy men.
To expect otherwise is to look for per-
fection in human nature The best
party that can be organized by the
wisdom, intelligence and patriotism of
the nation will at times be led into the
| af yho
worthy of public confidence. To en-.
dorse the acts Of these men would be
to transfer their iniquity to the party
itself; to promptly repudiate them is
to elevate the party above reproach OF
censure. We should draw broad line
between the bad faith of a servant and
the good intentions of his master
The Republican party has had its faith
less servants, but in no case has it at
/ tempted to shield them from the pun
ishment they earned. AS soon as dis
covered the party has repudiated them.
and entered before the people its earn
est protest against their acts. The
record of every Republican State con
vention gives evidence of sterling
morality among the mass es of the peo
! pie. Never in its history has its stan.
dard Of public integrity stood as high
as it does to-day. 1t demands hones
men for public positions and is deter
mined to have them No measure, ne
act, no character can hope to be white
washed by the Republican party. Boil
man and measure must stand upol
their merits. If they are just and tru
the party win be quick to support ant
advocate them; if unjust and dishon
est. they will be consigned to Oblivion
We have faith in party that stand
guard over the actions of its servants
that is ready to repudiate whatever i
wrong; that is independent enough t.
exact from its leaders the highest quail
:, tiles of personal character and officis
integrity. The Republic can never

power guides the administration of il
affairs. Republic.

OvatIonn to N1r. Colfax

A special dispatch from Freeport Ill,
says the Stephenson county Fair is prov
ing grand success. The display is ex-
cellent and the attendance larger than
ever known before. The Hon. Schuyley
Celfax addressed an immense crowd of
5000 people yesterday, and was received
with great enthusiasm. He was introduced
by L. R. Scofield, President of the society,
and spoke for about an hour, the crowd
listening with the most wrapt attention
After Mr.. Colfax had finished his address,
thousands pressed forward to shake him
by the hand. At night he was serenaded
by the Freeport band and waited upon by
large concourse of citizens. Among the
latter were Mayor Krohn and Mr.. j. Pat.
terson, leading Democrats. Mr.. Patterson
introduced the ex-Vice President in ;
warm and eufogistic speech, and the
scenes on the fair grounds were again re
enacted. Mr.. Colfax left for home at mid.

had not erred in my first and last i'm
preston of Mr.. Haris's disease, neither
had DR.. Solly, although he certainly used
very extraordinary mode of treatment.
The facts of the case are these:
Harris had weakness. He could not
taste wine nor strong drink without being
tempted into excess. Both himself and
friends were mortified and grieved at this !;
and they by admonition, and he by good
resolution, tried to bring about reform.
But to see was to taste to taste was to fall.
Atlast his friends urged him to shut himself
up at home, for certain time, and see if
total abstinence would not give him
strength. He got ON pretty well for few
days, particularly as his coachman kept
well filled bottle for him in the carriage
house, to which he not unfrequently re-
sorted but too ardent devotion to this
identical bottle brought on supposed apo
plexy.
DIR. Solly was right in his mode of treat
ing the disease, after all, and did not err
in supposing that it would reach the pre-
disposition. The cure was effectual.
Harris kept quiet on the subject, and bore
his shaved head on his shoulders with as
much philosophy as he could muster. A
wig, after the sores made by the blisters
had disappeared, concealed the barber's
work till his hair had grown again. He
never more ventured on wine or brandy for
fear of apoplexy.
When the truth leaked out as such
things always will, the friends of Harris
had many hearty laugh, but they wisely
concealed from the object of their merri-
ment the fact they knew anything more
than appeared on the supposed Illness
