cnANr AnD THE REPUBLICANS.


The Republican party comes before the
coan&ry with great flourish Of trumpets,
and demands the confidence Of the people
because 1T has eepudiated Grant. As a
matter * TACT the statement is the reverse
Of truth. That there is coolness existing
between the President and the party which
elected him is fact. The leaders are
conscious that the people should under
stand that the party have thrown over
board the burden which was endangering
the safety oftheir craft. lThe movement
Of separation which they wish us to be-
lieye in, has, however, been initiated on
the other side. The Republican leaders
are as ever the abject slaves of the Presi-
dent. The President has kicked them
again and again with all the vigor which
he could command. They, however, keep
close to him, clean his dirty boots, for
which service even he does not thank
them, receive his contemptuous rebuffs
with humility, and then ask the country
to believe that they have cut loose from
him and his transactions.
Actions speak louder than words. And
by what actions have the Republicans
made good their assertions Of having at
last released themselves from the domin-
ion of Grant? He has insulteu the party
and it's leaders by every means which he
could devise. Every man in office who
has been instrumental in unearthing the
frauds and villianies Of the administra-
ton he has snubbed and sent about his
business. Bristow is out and his trusted
agent, Yaryan. Custer is degraded,
Though by his degradation exalted
in the eyes Of the nation) and
murdered. Jewell and New are sent home
in disgrace. Babcock is acquitted through
frauds oonnived at by the President. Bel
knap's resignation is accepted with regret
after he had confessed himself thief and
a swiAdler Packard is sent into the South
to manipulate the election with the soldiers
and bayonets. Outrages innumerable not
only have been, but are now being perpe-
trated by the President and with his au-
thority.
And where do we find Republican
protest? In and out Of Congress the repre-
sentatives of the party, by their silence,
acquiesce in all this wanton abuse Of trust.
They dare not censure the agent Of the
mischief, and the deed themselves they
cannot denounce. In the presence Of an
aroused and indignant people, they now
indeed make pretense Of discardiug the
author, but this is done only in order that
they may supply his place with one who
will be a more pliable instrument in their
hands. With Hayes in the place ofGrant,
they hope to be able to carry on to greater
extent, and with more personal profit and
advantage, the system which Grant has
inaugurated. Grantism, with all it's deplor.
able and base accessories, is with Hayes te
be preserved and extended, with most o.
the Presidents personal interest made over
to the party leaders. The great consola.
tion, existing under these lamentable cir
cumstances, is that the people are now
thoroughly alive to the nature Of the iniqui
tous compact that has been made, and are
determined to Illustrate its censummatior
by the election of Samuel ]. Tilden.
