National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-01-27

THE Democracy are enjoying themselves
Just now over the election Of Gov. Pad
dock in Nebraska, and Judge Christiancy
in Michigan, to be United States Senators.
They don't exactly claim these gentlemen
as members of their party; but allude to
them as moderate Republicans. We
venture the assertion, from what we know
of them, that when the opportunity is Of
fered they will moderate" the Democracy
with a vengeance. Both are thorough
going Republicans, who owe their elections
to faithful support of Republican principles
at time when the issues between parties
were closely defined to be States rights,
secession and negro-hate on the one side
and freedom with equal rights and loyalty
to the Government on the other
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-01-27

The majority party in the next House
of Representatives will put its feet on the
Threats ofthe minority and arbitrarily refuse
to enact laws for the protection of human
life in the South. When it was in power
in the House that party adopted the two
thirds rule, which now prevents the will
of the majority from finding expression in
the form Of completed legislation. The
sbrogation of this rule is now absolutely
necessary, for the reason that the majority
party in the present House must enact the
legislation, which, as we have said, the
next House will arbitrarily refuse to enact.
No man who desires recognition as Re
publican will shrink before this imperative
demand to provide against the positive and
cruel certainties of the future. Human
rights and human life depend upon 1t.

both the Speaker and Mr.. Reid together,
at which last named festivity we are at
liberty to imagine another conflict, in which
Mr.. Blaine struggles to save Phelps to the
Republican party, and bring Reid over.
Again we must wait for the future to show
us the result.
To conclude: Blaine is a Republican.
Reid is not If they agree, one must sur
render to the other. The surrender must
be by the weaker one Of the two. Reid
has assumed to state the Speakers position
on Louisiana affairs, and 'the wing of
friendship mouths no feather" thus far, on
account thereof. We expect at an early
day, to hear the Speaker denounce as false
the charge made by Reid that he dared
not say aloud" what he honestly thought
on the great question of the hour, but
meanly ''muttered" his opinions where
they could not be answered. Mr.. Blaine
has labored faithfully, ably, courageously,
and wisely to preserve the fruits of the war.
His friends know that he has been solicitous
for Republican party success in 1875, on
the ground, mainly, that the defeat of the
party means the restoration Of negro hatred
as the ruling spirit in the nation. But no
man can render success brilliant enough to
save him from criticism when he sits down
ut his own table with man who has pub
licly claimed him as q sympathizer with
negro haters engaged In crusade againSt

position In which the Speaker has been

HAVE wEA SPARTAN BAND ,

On Monday last, when proposition was
pending before the House to suspend the
rules so as to prevent the entertaining of
dilatOry motions pending the considera-
ton Of any public bill or joint resolution"
the following named Representatives hav-
ing or at least supposed to have, a Repub-
lcan constituency voted against the propO-
sition, to wit: Buffinton, Burchard, Bur
leigh, Foster, Hale of Me, Hale of n. Y,
Kasson, Merriam, Parker Of N. H, Phelps,
Pierce, Roberts, Ross, Sener, Smith of
Ohio, Smith of Va, Willard of VT. and
Willard of Mich
In connection with these men, eighty
Democrats, whose devotion to the princi.
pies of the Republican party cannot be
questioned, voted against a suspension of
the rules, and the measure, for the time
being, was defeated. Why these eighteen
Republicans voted with the Democracy is
one of those things ''no fellah can find out.
We have no way of entering the hearts of
these men, nor have we any means at hand
to give to OUT readers in panoramic man
ner, the mighty thoughts and weighty rea-
sons that induced them to act with the De-
mocracy. These things, we say, we have
not, and because we have not, we have to
look elsewhere for solution of the ques-
ton. Three, and only three, reasons were
advanced in argument by the opponents of
the measure to the consideration of the
members of the House. First, that if the
rules were suspended it would deprive the
minority of all power; second, it would
open the Treasury to all manner of schemes
of plumber, and, third, it would deprive the
minority of the power of resisting subsidies
and other schemes, sO-called, of plumber
But one inference can arise from the
reasons given. and that is, that
the Democrats, who constitute the minor
ity, are opposed to all subsidies and schemes
and all plundering of the public Treasury,
and from this inference arises another, that
those who favored such a modification of
the rules as to do away with dilatory mo.
tons, were in favor of subsidies and schemes
having for their object a depletion of the
Treasury. We were, on yesterday, dis
posed to believe that the civil rights night
mare had something to do with frightening
some of the timid brethren but this, it
seems, was not SO, for we found that only
oof the number stated-Sener and Smith,
Of Virginia-Voted against the suspension
of the rules in the first instance and against
the suspension on the civil rights bill.
Thus 1t appears that but two were affected
with the civil rights nightmare. The other
sixteen-Bufinton, Burchard, Burleigb,
Foster, Hale of Maine, Hale of New York,
Kasson, Merriam, Parker, Phelps, Pierce,
E. H. Roberts, Ross, Smith of Ohio, Viii
lard of Vermont, and Willard of Michigan
seem to have been influenced by other
