The Democracy Of Ohio have

memory OF one of the bravest,
purest and best men this coun-

to show up the record of this
venerable fossil, William AL

In 1910, when General Har-

of Fort Meigs, and the Thames,
was running as the Wing can.
didate for the Presidency, Mr..
Allen invented and circulated
u story to the effect that Har-
rison was a coward at all three
of the above battles, and that
the ladies of Chillicothe, to
show their contempt for him
as a general, prese nted him, in
public, a red flannel petticoat.
So maEiIestly false was this In
famous story, that the people
denounced it as such, and with
one accord they called him

This is about the only con-

as a politician or a man ol

that the cause of such exemp

almost as a specific for the re

time as a preventive of con-

1T is usual with Democratic
Conventions to place peculiar
stress on what are alleged to
be the expressions of labor
No Democratic platform would
be complete without some
thing particularly emphatic on
that subject. But when we
come to look around tor what
the Democratic party has done
for labor, we find precious lit.
tie to its credit. On the Other
hand, we find it charged with
the enslavement of labor f6r
more than half a century, 1t
degraded labor into a beast of
burden, and sold laborers Ike
cattle in the market. We do
not mean, Of course, that the
Democratic organization bot
and sold slaves, but that by
making itself the champion
and apologist of slavery, it be-
l
came morally responsible
therefor, and for all its con.
comitant crimes and miseries.
In this connection it should be
also remembered that the sys-
tenn of Southern peonage to
which the Democratic party as.
sumed the relation Of protector
and friend, degraded the white
race 40 less than the black
1t degraded alike those who
participated in it, those who
connived at it, those who Ell
lently tolerated it. But more
than all, it degraded labor
Once admit that any class of
laborers may be bought and
sold as chattles, as the Demo
cratic party has repeatedly ad-
mitted aad affirmed, and it nee
essarily follows that the same
privileges of ownership may
be extended over every other
class. The shareholders were
not slow to see this or timld
In making use of its logical
force. Mr.. Fitzhugh, a propa-
gandist of pro-slavery Democ.
racy, repudiated the idea that
slavery was defenslble only as
a scriptural curse laid upon 8
particular race, and defended
it on principle, as equally ap-
plicable to all races. "Slavery,
black or white," said he, "is
right and necessary" A South
Carolina paper echoed in these
words the same sentiment:
THE great evil of Northern
free society is that 1t is burden
ed with a servile class of me.
chanics and laborers, unfit for
self government, and yet cloth,
ed with the attributes and
powers of citizens. Master
and slave is relation in socie-
ty as necessary as that of pa.
rent and child; and the North
ern States will yet have to In.
troduce it. Slavery is the mai
ural and normal condition of
the laboring man, whether
white or black"
The Richmond (V.) Enquirer
expressed the same views as
late as 1856. 1t saids
"The South now maintains
that slavery is right, natural,
and necessary While it is far
more obvious that negroes
should be slaves than whites,
for they are fit to labor, not to
direct, yet the principle of
slavery is itself right, and does
not depend on difference Of
complexion"
These doctrines were proba-
bly, not largely entertained By
Northern Democrats, but they
were popular with the South
ern wing of the party, and
were the logical sequences Of
the party's principles ana
teachings. We have not hear j
that the party itself has ever
rebuked or disowned them, III
