EDITORS SENTINEL: Carl Schurz &C.
cupies ar anomalous position in nation
al politics. He take. decided grounds
against Grant and the Administration,
and at the same time advocates the
election Of Hayes and Wheeler. He
advocates Hayes and Wheeler, while
he knOwns that the very convention
that nominated them passed a resolu-
ton indorsing Grantism, and recon-
mending it to the continued and hearty
gratitude of the American people. Mr..
Schurz views are so very peculiar that
his influence, it is admitted by some
of the leading Republican organs, will
amount to very little in the present
campaign.
When he arrays himself against his
party, we can understand. but when
he, at the same time, pronounces him
self for Hayes and Wheeler, we do not
understand. MIR. Schurz belongs to a
race of people among whom economy
in public expenditures is among the
chief of political virtues. He has had
ample opportunity to observe which
Of our two great political parties arc
really for reform. He witnessed the
conflict between the two Houses in the
last session of Congress-; he saw a
Democratic House determined on re-
trenchment and y Republican Senate
fighting against II at every step. He
saw that House, in spite Of every OBJ
stacle, actually cut down apprOpria-
tons fully thirty millions OF dollars for
a single year, and he knows that even
this amount saved every year would
go far toward tightening our taxes.
He saw Congress, with bulldog
resolution, go on, month after month,
revealing to q Disguised people cor
ruption in every department partici-
pated in by the leading men of his
party; all alike, filthy with brides,
and stealing. The German people,
whom Mr.. Schurz is supposed to rep
resent, are also in favor of a quiet,
peaceful government. How do the
two parties compare in this particular 7
For full ten years tie Republican
party has been enacting laws for the
Southern States, has been expanding
great sums Of money, and has been
using the army to establish and inain-
tain control; and yet strife and blood
shed have prevailed wherever the Re-
publican party has had a majority.
One by one those States, fortunately
for the country, have become Demo-
cratic, and just as they so become.
they were restored to peace, quiet and
order. Only two OF them now remain
wherein enmity and bloOdshed pre-.
vail between the aces, and in those
two States only Is the Republican party
dominant. In all of the others the
people have recovered and restored tho
right and powers OF self.g0vernment,
and lust 40 fast as Democracy has been
triumphant the negro has ceased to DO
tho tool OF party; peace and harmony
have prevailed, and prosperity has set
In.
Let MFR. Schurz look with an I'M
jaundiced eye at the condition OF those
States still under the depressing yoke
Of Radicalism. South Carolina, for in
stance, under Republican rule, is the
worst governed State in the Union.
She is almost hopelessly bankrupt, and
is filled with lawless negroes and car
pet baggers, ready at any day to break
out into bloody riots. 1t has been
only a short time since other Southern
States, now prosperous, rescued them
selves from a like condition, and If the
gallant Hampton proves successful in
his present contest for the g%ubornato-
rial seat in that State, every man,
