The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1874-09-19


candidate for congress.
-, We assert now, that upon this all
important question, the Rcpublicsn
party and Mr. Clement. have rlaYad
double with thg people. I. The civil
rights bill is the grcas mess're the
senator says it is, why DID not the
Republican congress enact il? The
Republicans had the necessary major
It's to do so. Did Radical politicians
pass it through the senate, 30 dat the
Republican party might say to the ne
groes I'VE are your friends and
refuse 10 pass IL through the house. 50
that the party might say 70 the white
people of the country: we do
not intend 10 enact this outrageous
measure 1t seems 50. Senator
Logan whose term runs three years
yet, voted for the bill, while Mr. Glenn
onts who is seeking reelection to con.
gressthis fall lodged the vote on the
bill three times-.ciusel TO vote for
Senator Logan great al.-iu.all meas
ure, aud is now denying in tho district
that lac f,vors IL while at the same time
| he stands upon platform endorsing 1t 7.
Senator Logan must get his man into
a corner and stilT,n lis backbone on
this question.
On the financial question ITO en-.
ator W., at sea. The Radical leaders,
who listened to him-Pope, Fisher and
Liuegar-dil not endorse him. H. fact,
We may well doubt d 10 knows his
own Posi,ion'i in thi- question.
But upon the rebsitou IN Louisiana
Senator hogan was q, home. Ga this
subject he soared--went up il ball

I Wei, SO be i,aclia We know that
the senator l. correct in much Of his
deauaciatory lolu.aso on this sub.
ject; but We charge that. 10; upon the
! Opposition party bu; upon the Rapub
lican party, rests tho responsibility for
the blood that has been shed ia L9ui.i-
ana. Senator Logan Is the witness by
whose evidence We intend to prove his

( he report? This That but for the IN.
justidlblc Interference Of Judge Dlrell
whose unjust orders oc4e eAguu.cd b.
! United States troop the McEnery
government would have entered quietly
upon the exercise e the sovereign
power Of the state, This also Senator
Logan reported: That the kellog.
government was in possession wrong
fully Of the ate-h1use, records, &c.
that there were two bodies oF men in
| Louisiana, ono claiming to lie the sen
ate and the other house ofIepresen,a
tiyes, recognizing Kellogg that Their
never was quorum Of either hous'
having any pFeicnac Of having beer
elected and that this pretended leti,
laturc was daily passing laws and Kel
logg was approving or yetoiug them
| This also the senstor reported tia
great injury was thus being done to tht
state, aud that should congress adj OUR
without providing a remedy for these
evils, collision and b,ooishcd you'd
inevitably result, or else the rrc,idon
would be compelled TO MAINTAIN tn,
Kellogg government by bayonc,-.
A wise report but the Republican
congress to which 1t was made refused
to provide any remedy for the evil
complained Of, ana b.oolshel ha, been
the result. Upon the congress of tn,
UDited States, Republican in boil
branches, must the responsibility o
the blood,hcd rest 50 says Senate.
Logan aud 30 sag all ofus.
We have not time 70 further discus
the able and yet very vulnerable spcecl
Of Senator Lognni but we are con
strained to ask the R.puble,ns who
listened 70 him 70 invcstigats the mat
tiers Of his speech for themselves before
they acquiescc in his conclusions and
: give credcuco to his energetic asseT
tons
