A Radical Paper Becomes Demo-
cratic.
CHICAGO June l4.-The Daay C2Tier
of this city, which for the past eighteen
months has been an Independent news
paper. has doublc-leaded editorial tRS
morning containing scathing review Of
the history Of the Republican party, and
announcing itself rs henceforth Il repre-
sentative Of the opposition party.
The announcement closes Is follows:
"This indictment of the Republican par
ty is made by the Courier with no pur-
pose to detract from the past glory OF the
organization. The party which was lead
by Lincoln, Seward, Chase and sum
ner has passed away. Its
record Is written on the monuments OF
history. and will be read with pride by
the American people centuries hence, 1t
is now become the sport and plaything OF
politicians and place hunters. The old
guard that gave it birth, succored 1t IN
infancy and brought it mp to Wig
orous manhood, are now in their graves
or in open warfare against 1t
their places are occupied by such men Il.
Grant, Logan, Morton, Cameron and
Butler, all aliens to it, and in no man
ncr identified with its early existence.
The people have weighed the Republican
party of to-day in balance, and have
found it wanting. They demand an
other set of statesmen and other declar-
alton of principles that are not
mere idle words, but have for
their basis honesty and accountability
in our public affairs. The CoTicr, re-
cognizing the changed condition of
things and the pressing need Of the
country for reform, will from this time
forward, unite with all sincere and hon
est men who desire the displacement of
the party in power and the establish
ment of our governmental affairs on Il
new and better basis.
