More Brutal than the Rarbarities OF
Bulgaria

New York World
A United States judge sent in com.
pany with soldiers from Washington to
browbest Republican State court and
give courage to conspiracy of rogues
bent on stealing the electoral vote OF an
American common wealth; and the house
OF General Hampton set on fire at night
while his sisters and his young children
were quietly sleeping-these are the
first fruits OF President Grants beni n
interference to preserve Flaw and order"
in South CarolinJL If honest men and
good citizens read of these things as hap
pening in Bulgaria or Seryia, there
would be no end TO the lamen-
tatlons put up over the wretched con-
dltion of the Christians oppressed there
by sanguinary Turks. They are happen.
ing in the state within whose borders
Lafayette landed century ago to help
Americans achieve self government.
And they are happening there, why?
Because respectable men in the North
hold their allegiance to the Republican
party more sacred than their allegiance
to the law, and dread the triumph OF
democracy" more than the ruin of the
national credit, the degradation OF the
American name and the overthrow OF
free government.
