The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1875-12-17

Of tho Moses OF the Boston Metho-
disls can leave no doubt in the minds
Of any iair-thinking person that II is
an ingenious bid..for a re-nomina-
ton for the third term. There is a
vein Of egolistiCal sOlI-laudation per-
vading the document which will
admit Of no other construction. The
attempt 10 show our peculiarly
friendly and amicable relations. just
at this timO, with the other nations
Of the world, the way "our govern
ment" had made thOm "come to
Limerick " whom they didn't do the
square thing with us, and the great
unexampled prosperity Of our coun-
try just now, are Oxpatiatod upon at
an unusual length, and the impress
sion sought to be left that this happy
and fslicltous state Of affairs could
not have existed under any other
Administration than the present.
The Cuban question is handled in a
kid glove, yelvsty sort OF fashion, 80
as to catch the Quaker element and
loving portion Of the people,
while it is we'll understood that Grant
himself is extremely impatient to
recognize the insurgents government
and prscipitAte our nation into war
with Spain.
Recognizing the popular pulse in
the result Of the recent elections, he
proclaims himself the special cham
pion Of hard money and free schools,
and nearly slops over in his new
Asdgod enthusiasm on these ques-
tons.
Knowing that the moral sentiment
Of the country looks upon Mormon
pOlygamy with disgust and abhor-
snce, he throws in a ghbly uttered
protest against its continuance, and
asks rigid legislation upon that sub
ject; but forgets to tell why he has
just appointed Zach Chandler to one
Of the most important Cabinet posi-
tons when it is well known that he
ia q polygamist in practice il not in
religion.
In the light afforded by the Prosi-
dents Message we think it is about
time that those who have been pooh
pooling the third-term talk should
quit il and view the question in a
serious aspect. There is no doubt
Of Grants aspirations in that dirOc-
ton. He is desirous and even de-
tsrmined il possible to hold the
reins for another term, and the
sooner the people realize that he is in
dead earnest in this matter, the better
for them. They may be assured that
every cnrd in his hand will be played
to win the third tsrm prize, and, like
other professional gamblers, hs will
spare no pains or scruples TO hold a
rood hand. After his Message shall
nave been well digssted he will make
his clncqusrs fling the bloody shirt to
he breeze. the Ku-Klux outrage mill
will be started TO grinding ont a nsw
list Of outrageH, and bayOnet rule will
be again proclaimed throughout the
Democratic States Of the South.
Every government official in the
country will be made to see, as do
the Boston Methodists, that to elect
him is salvation, and that failure
10 do no will cause war and everlasting
ruin.
We have had in the United States
! series OF calamities, fires, floods,
wars, financial panics, rumors Of war,
riots, and dire disasters Of oil kinds,
including the grasshoppsr plague,
and it would be in keeping with all
.hese calamitioS to have Grant, Chan
iler, Morton, Logan, Cameron, Hsr-
IAN, Delano and the rest Of the
thieves and plunderers inflicted upon
as for another four years; and 10
syert such scourge upon our land
Dvory thoughtful American should in
no uncertain language condemn
hose men engaged in the deep laid
plot who seem TO think the govern.
nsnt is made for their especial
bdnsft and use; that it is their right
10 get oil the plundOr they can, that
,fRcss are spoils, that black Fridays
ire legitimate sources Of revenue.
II these Long Branch lOafers are
made to lot 60 it must be by dealing
heir fingers hard and telling blows,
and every voter must do his part II
he just sits around and says guess
t's all right" and leaves the whole
matter to professionals" he viii be
inflicted with the horde Of corrup-
,ionists, which has been inflicted on

TeaFs more.
DYE SEE IT.
