of last winter fully estabiisled
many of the charges. Yet added
to that followed the buck-payz

for a measure which is
evoking o hiss of contempt from
every part5oft the country These
mismanagements-th these com
plaints have now become serious
matters. They have become
more 9tlian grave charges; they
have assumed the shape aud inn
portance of principles that the
people, by their own voluntary
action, are called upon to act-to
approve or disaPproye-to sane
ton or condemi.2to perretuate
or correct. They are sn=h evils
that the people cannot Iiye under
them. They have madeup thor
minds as to that fact,,and they
propose Ito iemakea.a correction,
while the Administration and
Radical Party they shall
not. Now the issue Is the cor
rection or continuance of existing
evils, and such issue is made,aby
the Administration and Radical
rulers uron one side, and the
people upon the other. In less
than three months the parties in
the Northern. Central and Wes-.
tern States viii have commenced
the campaign ferthe September,
October and November elections.
Insomego frthe States the contest
for nominations has already be-

The Republicans are now in
power in nearly oil the States
referredto and it is for such evil
Radical rule. TO be corrected and
changed by the people, or the
people to continue to. suffer .un.t
der the evils now complained Of.
Therefore viii the people make
the change? VIII they assume
the authority to take the man.
agement of matters into their
own hands, dispensing with shisa
tiers and evil doers? We say Ties,
will. ..ss "a - 80 4sa
The people proposeto ignore
past party differences aud act to-
gether for good. They propose
to fake the side Of right against
wrong, and they will do it. Can
the Radical party bear Ill the
burdens now resting upon them
and go before the people aid. be
sustained! The people are in.
formed upon these matters and.
with such information, will they
knowingly snstain existing evils?.
We say no.. We cay che people
are capable of self government,
and, when free from the evil i'll
fuence of party prejudice and
passion, VIII e things for the
right and act right upon them.4f
We have cnntiieneet IN. the mass

they are honest AMI fair minded,
