PENDLE rONISM.
THE FRUITS OF REPUBLICAN RULE-A DErI-
MILTON OF PENDLEToNIsM
FROM the recent speech of the Hon. George
ii. Pendleton, delivered at Lima. O.. the fol-
lowing closing extract is taken: But after
al, gentlemen, the matter of greatest con-
Germ in the republican government is the
honest and faithful administration Of the
Offices. \ bad system with honest men is
better than good system with dishonest
men. know the republican party claims
daily and loudly that it has purified itself:
and the congressional address SAYS that in
five years IL has discovered and punished i'm
its own ranks more villainy and CORFU ption
than any and all parties since the foundatioD
ofthe government. What boast! The corrnn-
ton must have been there before it could
be expurgated, and if so much has bean
elected, and yet so very much more remain
what foul mass of putridity it must have
oeen! But as 1t so, cleansed itself7 Con-
gress expelled Cakes Ames and he received
an ovation from his constituents. Speaker
Blaine appointed chairmen of five of the
most important committees from men
tainted with the credit mobilIer. Bingham
was sent minister TO Japan. Garfield is
nominated from the northeastern district
Parsons is nominated from the Cleveland
district. Shepherd was nominated by
the president as commissioner of
the District of Columbia, which as
governor and commissioner OF public
works he had despoiled. williams

the moneys paid to Carpenter and Butler
and Chandler and Billings, and then deny.
il you honestly can, that on the breasts of
the representatives of the republican marty
there is branded the word corrupt in charsc-
ters more vivid and truthful than the scar
let letters which glowed on the bosom OF
Hester Prynne. [Cheers.l Gentlemen. If
any fair minded republican is here, appeal
to him. Is not the sense of dignity, and
even decency in public life greatly loweredY
Are not offices valued for their power
and emOiuments? Are thew not con-
sidered the fitting reward of personal
service or ilattery or money? Is not the
public sense outraged by the president when
he deserts the capital and spends months at
the sea shore? is not the public law out
ragged when the president performs official
acts at Long Branch, which, bv law, should
be performed at Washington? ("That's soi'')
l make no eulogy on the democratic party.
Its history speaks for itself. rs acts for sixty
years commend it. And now, chastened by
defeat, purified by experience, imbued with
new vigor, with yet purer patriotism and
loftier purpose, II comes forth again
INDICATING ITS PRINCIPLES
asserting the honesty of its organization,
and asking your suffrages that it may, by
still greater benefcence, add to the luster of
its imperishable fame. [Cheers.l Fellow
citizens, may speak one word of myself
without egotism? believe you will bear
witness that have always been a jealous
and faithful servant ofthe democratic party;
that l have understood its principles and
faithfully maintained them; that have not
unduly aspired to leadershipor attempted to
dictate its profession of faith. To make a
creed has been heretofore reserved for the
high powers of the college of apostles, or the
councils of the church, or the convention of
the party, or the commanding genius
of Jefferson. That day has passed, AMI
now the people make and enforce creeds. 1
never dreamed of aspiring so high, and yet
some republican orators and newspapers,
and notably one democratic paper, have
L entertain, in common with the democratic
party of Ohio, by the name of Pendletonism.

or indifference they may mistake 1t,
