The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-15
VICE PRESIDENT WILSON,

AANSANShO w iAocA 3 NOhoSNAb
V throwing out suggestions for the
benefit of the capable and judicious
statesman" and the administration
that has been such a distinguished
success according to the Ohio Re
publican Convention. Recently he
has been travelling, and at almost
every stopping place he published
his views concerning the future of
''tl:e party" He processes to be
very conservative, and is willing to
do almost anything and to make any
concessions that will save his party
from destruction. He admits that
the President, whom the Republican
Convention of Ohio Endorsed as a
capable and judicious statesman"
has been condemned by the people,
and that the country is suffering
from corrupt legislation and want Of
administrative ability. He admits
that the brains of the Republican
party have been ostracised and in
suited, and that political demagogues
and challatans now control the party
machinery. He admits that too
many notorious rogues and thieves
have been appointed to office, and
still hold on to their places. He adj
mits that there has been too much
time occupied in and out of Congress
in discussing insane projects for the
~cdification of American citizens of
African scent. He admits that the
carpet-baggers, who swarm in the
South as the lice swarmed in Egypt,
are the greatest set of liars and vii
lains that ever went unhung. He
admits that the negroes of the south
have been deceived, plundered and
robbed by tie vagabond whites sent
there by Grants administration. He
admits that Grants connection with
Boss Shepherd and other notorious
thieves and scoundrels, is a crime
against the American people, and in
fact, that the administration, to use
the language of u neighbor of the
Eaton Register, is ''corrupt beyond
precedent" But then he suggests
to the robbed and outraged tax-pay
ers of the country, that If the dis
honest men now in office are remov
ed; If we discard bayonet rule; i
the carpet-baggers of the South ar
discontinued; If Giant discards tn
third-tem project and if we promis,
to do better in the future, will no
the suffering and outraged tax-pay
ers trust us, and give us a few NOR
years of power?
1t is very easy for the Vice Presi
dent to promise that his party wi
do better in the future; easy for .hiT
to say that the rogues in office vii
be compelled to vacate for homes
men, but the people have lost conf
dence in his thieving and "corruE
beyond precedent" party, and the
long for the opportunity to throttl
it and bury it out of sight foreve.
and the Vice President may as we
, abandon his hopes and his ifs, fc
no sick-bed promises, no confession
of repentance can avail now. An
if Mr.. Wilson is the honest man |
i would have the people believe,
too, should assist in wiping out, :
:. with a wet sponge, the foul blot tn;
his party has left upon the escutcI
cons of the country. HOlest men
# all parties demand the uncondition
surrender of the Radical-ring tactic
The thousands of ruined busine
men demand it. The tens of thou
ands of laborers out of employmel
demand it. "Change, change; '
> demand and will have a change" a
y the watch-words of a betrayed al
tax-ridden people. Let those WI
dare oppose the peoples wishes lot
out. They will be crushed.
