The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1876-12-21

The House investigating committee,
composed mostly of Democrats, which
went to Florida to look for frauds, is not
meeting with much encouragement. All
the frauds yet found were perpetrated by
Democrats, and the committee refused to
investigate the counties where the Demo
Gratis perpetrated the greatest frauds. 1t
is to be jug-handle affair. If they can
find Republican crooked, they want him,
but crooked Democrats will please keep
out Of sight. In Louisiana the Democrats
are testifying to intimidation, with vim
and brass that makes even an average
Democrat who understands the situation
smile incredulously.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1876-12-21

1t has been pretty generally circulated,
that the Democratic leaders, the ones who
want war, are trying to organize that par
ty throughout the entire country into rife
clubs, to help in the Inauguration of Til
den by force if the votes are counted for
Hayes. That this matter is not all a
canard, we have only to cite the action of
the Indiana Democrats, who have had
meetings all over the State, passed reso-
lutions in favor of inaugurating old sin
come tax Sammy" at any cost. Clubs
are being formed in response to circular
from Democratic headquarters, and al
though we have not heard of any in this
State, the attempt will probably be made.
The New York Tribune, in speaking of
these proposed meetings, says:
THE real purpose of these demonstra-
tons will be, it is alleged, to alarm the
business interests Of the country and
cause them to insist upon the Republi,
cans giving way as the only means of
avoiding a civil war. 1t is assumed that
if the alternative Of Tilden or war were
presented to the public there would be an
irresistible demand for the acceptance Of
the peaceable way out of the dilemma.
This theory proceeds, of course, upon the
supposition that the Republicans would
be terribly frightened by the menaces of
their opponents. IF they should treat
them as buster and bluff, the scheme
would prove abortive. Wcll-informed
persons arriving here recently from diff
ferent parts of the North and West say
that two or three weeks ago there was a
disposition among Republican business
men to favor the Inauguration of Cover
nor Tilden as the easiest and safest settle
ment of the dispute, but that they haze
more lately come to the conclusion that
Coz. Hayes ,oas fairly elected and must be
indugurated, and are about as stubborn an
this vie,o as are the partisan politician"
The Democratic party certainly ought
to know by this time that it canDot bluff
and scare the party that saved the nation
from its bloody clutches in l86l-65. On
the contrary it is likely to run against a
good sized snag if it keeps up its at,
tempt at buster.

Democracy is in trouble. 1t has been
many long days since it received such
shock as it did when the Southern mem
bers refused to accede to the fre-eating
element in. the North, who are so willing
to sacrifice all their distant relations in
another war. The Northern element
fondly expected the Southern members
to come up eating fire, shouting war and
aching to 'chaw somebody up" Strange
as it may seem, the Southerners repre-
sent about all the decency and discretion
in that party, in Congress, now. When
Randall & Co., wished to impeach Presi-
dent Grant, the leading Southerners put
themselves squarely against the move and
dictated it. When Hewitt, Democratic
National Chairman, wished to issue an In
fau mable address to Democracy, calling on
the members of the party to rally to the
front and inaugurate Tilden by force if
necessary, the Southern members declar-
ed they had had war enough, and if Hew-
lit and his Northern tools wanted war,
they (the Southern members) would look
on. They even 60 so far as to say that
they will be very well satisfied with Mr.,
Hayes, if he is declared elected, as they
think he will be, and they think, that
with the prospects of the next Congress
being Republican, that Hayes, if inclined
to be liberal, can do them more good
than Tilden, hence policy and personal
interest, would cause them to at least
peaceably acquiesce in his inauguration.
The rabid Tilden men do not know what
to do in this juncture, and are wildly
beating the air, bowling and urging, and
begging and crying, but all to no purpose,
the Southern members are not to be
moved. Now is the time for the Repub-
liean leaders to show little good sense,
and exert little judgment and capture
these southern Democrats cas- they waver
between the old party and desire
for peace and better government at home.
If this can be done without compromising
or forsaking the friends who have stood
by us South, we believe the cause of JUS
tice and mercy might be served by some
such measures.
