UsISi THE OLD MACHINERY.
THE CAIRO BULLETIN issues vigorous
pronunciamcnto, which is both dcclara-
tion in favor of the Oppostion solid
money and free.trado convention of Sep
tombcr ls., and an Indictment OF tho time
| serving Old Bourbon hierarchy. TIVE
BuLfETIN's Indictment of the venerable
hierarchy alleges its guilt of high crimes
stupiiitica and misdemeanors, as se. forth
| In tho following counts:
lcXaudcr-Stephcn>i-m declaring the
| right oiseoession, aud Ju>tifyiug the rebel
| lion t..
'Slniri-m, protesting against accomplished
| iact-, and advocating the use OF the hayonct
| 10 overthrow the Icsult> OF the war
| "Caura,isnpm, speaking with the voice
| Of caste, and advocating the intellectual,
| political md even physical slavery OF the
| negro;
''Lcgordcmalni.m with II. pert voice and
| brisk manners. saying 10 the country
"Ilerc. my friends. YOU see thus little anti
protection ball, Jnd-uuW yOu don't:
"Pcnd'otOnim, promising prosperity that
would be u hubble and u disaster;
"Twecdisln. stutling lmliot-boXes aud rob.

"Fernando-W oodism, iustilying the sal
ary-yrab robbery;
."Nlanv other auti-demo cratieitms, which

Thisis u true bill, which might have
been extended, no less truthiully, a good
tcal further. UIon it, tho old "dcmo
cratic hierarchy has boon convicted and
sentenced time and again. Tho judgments
of tho country against tho offender are of

erased or set asids. " ..HL
The BULLETIN saya it beloved, and
stll believes, that political organization
founded upon tho principles of true dcm-
| ocracy, might and would succeed, IL il
were uncontaminatod By the shortcomings
and mistakes Of tho old or false democracy
\ What tTHe-BUhLKrIS means by the prln'
ciplcs of true democracy tho public Is al.
lowed to infer irom itsspocid cations of false
or sham democracy, givun above. BY
| "truo democracy" is obviously meant III,
roetly tho opposite Of "Alex-Stoph0ns
ism, "BlairisuI,' Cau'asianism, "Pon'
4 dlotoni.m," "rweedism," "Protection.
ism, }" "Fcrnando- w Wooiism," and "Slrmd
doth ofonceism" Of course II requires nl
very isborious examination Of historca
facts 10 convince every voter possessing
average intelligence that tho old political
managers styled tho democratic party
mother have nor represent any "true
ldomoeracy.' rnevsrious sor,s ot "democ-
racy' the old hierarchy represents (as
The BuLLErIu indictment shows) ara al
bogus.
And now tho bogus democrats" the
PondlotonianS and advoGstos of perpetual
shinplsster swinlling, have captured tho
"anti-monopoly movement on which
THg BULLETIN had placed its fondes,
political hopes. The so.oalled farmers
party was its "doar gazslle but alas

and, soizing the haysecd little thing, con,
signed It to the foul embrace of Pcndlo
tonism and communism.
| "Wha,, thon, shall be done? is the do
spsiring cry. That which The BULLETS
thinks it would bs possible to do, seeing
that many OF tho "leaders" and "manag
, ing man of the sham democratic part,
have gone on n hunt for spoils among tn
: hayseed rcpudistors, is to seize the organ
I2stion OF that party (which ia roully al

and purposes OF n new opposition party
"Why not?' is tho question,
No good reason why not aan bo given
