Free speech is no longer allowed by
the rebel Democracy of Vicksburg
Mississippi. They give a Republican
speaker a gentle reminderin the shape
of eggs, and, if he fails to heed the
warming, the rifle or pistol will be
brought into requisition. Oh, no! the
Government mustn't interfere to pro-
tect citizens in their right to speak
and vote that would be an invasion of
State rights, as well as an impertinent
interference with the right of the
rebels to shoot down all who do not
vote their way. What a jovial state
of affairs they will have down South
when the Democracy get into power
again. Every Northern man who
has helped with his capital and his in
dustry to rebuild the wrecked States
will be driven North, and his prop
erty confiscated for the use and enjoy
ment of the rebels who were forced to
sell it at the end of the rebellion
Pittsburgh Telegraph.
The Chicago Times is a Democratic
paper, but it doesn't like the "reform"
platform. 1t speaks of it as ''inaccu-
rate and reckless in some of its state
ments," and says: Reform" is the
word that runs all through it and
stands conspicuous in nearly every
plank. In this particular, it protests too
much. 1t is Il very easy thing for Il
party to promise great things in the
way of reform, but promises and per-
formances are very different things.
When the Democratic party promises
reform it must expect to be judged, like
any other party, by its record, by its
known principles, if it has any, and
by the character of those who compose
it. The party that produced Tweed
and his crowd of Tammany thieves,
and similar men wherever it has been
in power, and which attracts to itself
almost the entire body of ex-slave-
holders and secessionists, together
with the class of men of whom John
Morrissey is distinguished repre-
sentative, need not expect that its
promise of reform will be accepted alb
solutely without question.

While Governor Seymour is a very
popular man in his State, he is not in
vincible. In 1862, he defeated Gen
eral Wadsworth, Republican, for Gov
ernor, by small majority, but i'll 1864,
he (Seymour) was defeated by Hon.
Reuben E. Fenton. His majority
over Grant in New York in 1865, some
ten thousand votes, was due to the co.
600 majority he received in the city.
Since then the Republicans have de-
tected the manner of the frauds of the
Democracy, and in 1872 the majority
Of the latter was kept down to near its

Our Washington special to-day
furnishes some further testimony to
the Democratic integrity of the past,
which is just now interesting reading
in the face of the professions of that
party. 1t seems that an examination
by the Indian office of the questions
pending between North Carolina and
the Western Cherokees has led to the
unearthing of Democratic swindle
extending through three administra.
tions, and amounting to over $3,000,-
000 The money stolen was appropri
ated by Congress at various times in
connection with the removal of the
Cherokees from Northern Georgia and
vicinity to the Indian Territory. A
good portion of the money appropria-
ted under the treaty of removal went
into the hands of those in the Demo-
cratic ring which managed the affair,
and which through the Administra-
tions of Presidents Polk, Pierce and
Buchahan continued to press claims,
present bills and secure appropriations
for expenses incurred in the removal.
Where the actual cost of removal in
many cases was only $40 per head
from $l50 to 5000 was charged, and in
the bills for removals fictitious num-
bers of Indians were submitted and
allowed. The investigation thus far
has involved number of Democratic
politicians of the administration
named, and has shown that the money
stolen outright was not less than $3,'
100000. The party of reform" has all
ugly record, and the above is only one
case out Of many that will be de-

A VERY large and enthusiastic Hayes
and Wheeler meeting was held in Gin
cinnati Saturday evening. Elk. Gov.
Noyes presided, and in his remarks on
taking the chair he said that Gov.
Hayes is in full sympathy with the
spirit of reform which has taken posses
sion of the people, and that if elected
President, rascals will moi grow rich at
the expense of tie people. He VIII
moreover labor for the pacifcation and
prosperity of the south, the enforcement
of the laws and the honest payment Of
the public debt. Ex-Secretary Bristow
followed and was received with great en-
thusiasm. He said that the Convention
had done its work well; that the plat
form is one upon which every patriotic
citizen may securely stand; that it COM
mits the Republican party squarely to
the resumption specie payments. and the
punishment OF all faithless or corrupt
officials. In speaking of the ticket he
said that no other names better calcu
lated 70 secure success could have been
selected, and no language was too strong
to express his confidence in the patriot
ism, purity, and true worthinegs of the
men.
This is p most emphatic endorsement
of the Republican platform and ticket,
and will leave the friends and supporters
of Mr.. Bristow no choice but to give
their unqualified support TO that ticket,
for If they be SO satisfactory to the man
who has been put forth as the embodi-
ment of reform and an efficient and pure
pnblie service, his friends can not criti-
else them without disparaging his intelli-
gence or honesty. There is now every
prospect that the Republican platform
and ticket will thoroughly unite the
party, and bring back to it most of those
who have left it during the last four
wears.

THERE is a certainty that at least one
branch of the Henry Ward Beecher hti-
cations will be lively again. Mr.. Moul-
ton has won his appeal to the Supreme
Court In Moulton's suit against Mr..
Beecher for defamation of character, the
defendant demurred, on the ground that
there was no actiOnable cause for dam
ages against Mr.. Beecher in the proceed
ings under which Mr. Moulton was in
dicted. Mr.. Moulton took the ground
that the proceedings which we're subse-
quently quashed by the District-At
neys nolle prosequi, constituted libel.
The lower court accepted the view Of Mr.
Beecher's counsel, and granted demur-
rer. The General Term has set aside
that demurrer. And now the fat is in
the fire once more.

THE TWO PARTIES.

The Republican party has been upon
trial for the past fifteen years, and what
has it shown The grandest record of
good deeds, substantial reforms, and
official integrity ey er presented In the
history of government. Its response
bilities have been greater than any party
was ever before called upon to bear.
Tt trusts have been scared in their
character 1t has held in its keeping
personal liberty, the rights and priv
ileges of individuals, and the very ex-
istence of the nation. 1t has ex-
pended and collected thousands of
millions for the common defence and
general welfare, and has shown in all of
its transactions regard for the people
who trusted it, and for whose protection
it was organized. Surely if noble deeds
and great achievements entitle a party to
consideration, the Republican party has
earned by its splendid career the thanks
and gratitude Of the civilized void.
Look now at the record of Democr acy!
It's repeated betrayal of public conf
dence; its reasonable sympathies and
open aid to rebellion; its affiliat1on with
such plunderers as Tweed; its lily con-
cealed sympathy for the lost cause;
and its total want of appreciation of the
public wants as shown in its stupid
transactions in the present House of
Representatives stamp it as the worse
possible organization that ever courted
public favor.
Is it a difficult thing for the loyal
citizen to choose between the two par
ties2 Can any man who wishes well for
his country hesitate to support the one
and oppose the other? MOI With the
history of the two parties so clearly
written, and so well understood, every
citizen can draw the line for himself. If
he favors good government, the peace
and security of all, the development of
Or national resources, and the growth
of our free institutions, he must of neces
sity advocate and support the Repub-
lican party. If these have no charms
for him, and he seeks evil rather than
good, then he belongs to Democracy,
and should be found with it.
