Ravolntion In the National Administra-
ton Indispensable.
Republicanism, pure and true, can never
be revived under the rule 81 the Radical orl
war party. The peace and prosperity OF the
people cannot be secured by the rule OF that
party--the party Of war, and the party that |
must live upon the hates and rancors me
spired by war, being the parry hostile to
peace and alien 10 that spirit Of trust and
confidence which alone can find shelter and
health under the wings Of peace. The Radi- |
cal and bloody-shirt party must be over
wheimed and dragged from the places OF
power which they use Tor their own good
and the ruin OF the country. There can be
no restoration OF true liberty there can be
NO recovery Of the feeling Of trust and con-
5edence amongst the people, either in one
another or in their Government, so long as
that is in the hands OF s sordid party such
as the Radical party, which knows no: obi
gationto God or man higher than TINT OF
filing their own pockets and catering to
their own greedy appetites.
This should be seli-eyident to all men
and it is a bad sign that the passions OF
party should blind the eyes OF so many
people to facts that are so clear and which
have. existed so long. The Government
has been for years administered with de-
gree Of dishonesty and an amount OF cor
ruption certainly unexampled in this land,
il not in all Others. It is impossible, there
fore, that the administration should pro-
mote either public harmony or public pros
perity as long as it is in such hands.
Look at the whole nation. In every
phase OF lie in agriculture, in commerce,
In manufactures, and in finance, there never
was before condition so oppressive, so
iiscouraging, to all men Of all vacations.
Those only who have the opportunities for
robbery OF the public treasure are really
growing rich. The spirit and actions OF
the Government have caused this dreadful
condition Of the nation; and OF course this
condition cannot be improved until its
cause is removed, until the people turn out
the party in power and place the Govern
ment in other hands.
Never, therefore, had the people Of the
United States such strong reasons for de
voting themselves, soul and body, to the
effort OF reforming their Government.
The only way to get out OF the deep ruts
in the Slough OF Despond is to throw down
the worthless Radical power and set up
new administration Of the Government
II there were no better reason, the fact that
the great majority Of businessmen and
nearly all the intelligent, rejecting men in
the land believe that there can be no i'm
proYement in the business and enterprise
of the land without this change should be
entirely sufficient to hurl every Radical OIL
Ger from the place he has abused. To think
SO, even, independent OF the reasons for so
thinking, is quite enough to make 1t So
Especially in finance the public faith is
positive power II the belief OF the men
who conduct the. pursuits and chiefly man
age the business and trade OF the land is
that the defeat OF the Radicals and the cleo
ton of TILDEN will restore confidence and
revive industry and enterprise, these effects
will most assuredly follow his election.
But, then, this belief is caused, as we
have said, byan amount Of official Yaithiess-
ness and corruption in the Radical party
unexampled in the previous history OF the
nation. The idea that relief from the rule
OF such party will restore prosperity and
Harmony to the land Is philosophic. 1t
would be entirely consistent with good
logic to suppose that the strong motive OF
any party that might succeed the Radical
party would be to avoid the vices and pro-
fiigacies that had marked its bad career.
But, then, the Democrats have presented to
the nation men to fill the chief executive
Offices who are not only without stain and
without reproacb, but men OF tried and
established ability-men eminently qualified
for the duties OF the high positions to which
they are nominated.
4 This, then, is the grand opportunity FOL
the nation-for its peace and order, for thu
restoration OF the general thrift and tina
happy condition OF national economy which
affords occupation and subsistence to all
and encourages virtue while cherishing TIT

Government. And it is matter for public
rejoicing that most worthy and excellen
men are named to take the places so Ions

and peace, and harmony. 1t win greviv'
confidence and trust. The people will tgus

that will promote personal as wen as ma

OF laws and constitutions. Above all, VIZ
shall hail that nobly just administration O.

national fame. and promote the nationa
