GEN. BEN. HARRISON and the bloody
shirt-a C, rpse and winding sheet
h.cUlsciiLe Courier.
The party of illiberality and narrow
ness can afford to wear the bloody shirt,
MS it eminently becomes it.-CtncmHati
Enquirer.
The administration has this peculiar
merritt is so grossly corrupt as to salts
fv any mind, even the most stupid, that
reform is necesssry.-CarL !Sdhurz IN his
speech at Cleveland.
IT is amusing to recall the fact that as
late as March, last year, the New York
Times was talking about Gov. Tilden's
"nstural antipsthy to administrative cor
ruption. "-Sprngfetd Republican.
The Evansville Journal SAYS that
Gen. Ben. Harrison is gentleman and
a scholar, a lawyer of the highest rank
and a statesman in the best meaning of
the term" but being bloody shirtist he
cannot be Governor,
The people are tired of it. Stories of
Southern indignities to the blacks, how
ever authentic they may be, smell of the
outrage mill. Traitor, rebel and Con-
federate have ceased to scare or excite
the old passions.-Ne,o York Graphic,
Rep.
The Philadelphia Times regards the
Presidents South Carolina proclama-
ton, with the advice and consent of the
Cabinet" as revolutionary, and worse, it
is madness. The Times properly takes
the President to task for uttering words
that are not true, when he says the rife
clubs are in instruction.
The New York Herald very Justly re-
marks that the charges of President
Grant against the whites of South Caro-
lima are refuted by the character Of the
canvass they are making. The demo-
Gratis cannot resort to violence without
throwing the negro voters into Chamber
lsin's arms"
When Hayes organs talk obout the
treason of the Southern Democracy in
trying to secure a solid South" they
never explain why it is not "treason',tor
the Republican party TO use the forces of
the government and IFS material to make
the South solid for Hayes - Louisville
Courier Journal
THE iron hand of this Ubiquitous ad-
ministration clutches the throat of South
Carolina, and the breath of the PROSTATE
state will be stifed until after the 9TH of
Louis Times.
THE Radicals feel sanguine of success,
Notwithstanding the reform triumph of
Tuesday. They feel that their case is
safe in the hands of the office holders and
the American Alliance. 1t is true that
both of these organizations are solid for
the Hayes ticket. but if the better sent-
ment Of the people is to prevail IN No
vember as 1t has in October, the power OF
the ring and the Alliance will be broken
and the administration will 60 to the
wall.-Indiandpot1s Sentinel.
THE Democratic platform and plank
offers to the cOuntry the only remedy
and relief from the disastrous state of af-
fairs as they now exist. 1t becomes the
solemn duty of every citizen who has the
welfare of his country at heart, to consid-
or the failures and disasters that have oc-
CURED during the past nine months, and
then ask himself if he can cast his vote to !
in power the party that alone |
is to blame for the ruin and prostration
that have brought the country to the |
verge of bsnkruptcy.-CeUeland Plain
Dealer.
