National Republican., 1876-08-11

IlICtultu WIN ulSLOJ ATTY NC HAS Utcu reQueSItu
to go South by thewar Democrats of this State.
The leading Democratic paper of Nebraska
has declared for Hayes and Wheeler, saying
"that this was the only course to pursue after
the fatal action of the st. Louis convention"
In 1872 the Republicans cast AS ,S01 votes,
and elected Dix by over so 900 majority. This
fall they will poll 475, 900 votes. Tilden and
his fat money bags cannot counterbalance this
majority.
Ex-Postmaster General Jewell has been in
terviewed on the House report, and he criti-
| cises the action of the committee in severe
| terms, and denounces great deal of evidence
as false and partisan.
The Wisconsin Republicans have nominated
| Charles NJ. Croswell for Governor and Lonzo
Sessions for Lieutenant Governor. These are
| strong men and will win victory in Novem-
Der that will compare well with the great
national triumph.
This great country, abounding in good, ro-
bust, noble-hearted. married men, does not
want a thick skinned, whey -blooded old
bachelor for President. The Ohio State
Journal says that we have had one su ch, and
it cost us a civil war. Celibacy has no joys.
The Okolona Ciiss.) Southern States says
of recent Republican assemblage in that
town: "The Radical party is not dead, and
they may attempt to organize for the coming
campaign, and Democrats everywhere must
be on the alert" On the alert for what To
prevent organization for the coming campaign'
Is this, then, crime to be avenged by Demo-
| cratic ''banditti?"
Read Tilden's letter and then read Hayes
| and see the difference between a statesman
and political thingumbob.- Post.
1t is said that the Governor gets furious when
| he is called Sammy, but to have the Post call
him thingumbob will kindle the fire of wrath
in his bosom until it consumes hours in coun-
termanding his orders to pay that paper so
much for each editorial insertion.
The great question for the people to decide
next November is whether they are ready and
willing to at once surrender the Government
of this great country into the hands of the very
men who, few years since, sought to destroy
it by rebellion. This cannot be gansaid, for
it is well known that the main reliance for the
success of the Democracy is upon a solid vote
from the States forming the late Confede racy.
Without this solid vote of the South they see
the handwriting on the wall-Defeat defeat
The House receded from the Indian transfer
proposition, and by doing so it has done the
first respectable and sensible thing of its long
session. No honest man desires the transfer
of the Indian Bureau to the War Depart
ment. No fair mind will say that it would have
resulted in good. On the contrary, there are
scores of the best gentlemen in the land who
have devoted years of study to the Indian
question, that are protesting against the un-
wise measure. By this recession of the House
humanity has been well served, and the Presf-
dents magnificent policy protected from the
grasp of its worst enemies.
E1speaker Galusha A. Grow has been
unanimously nominated for Congress by the
Republicans of Susquehanpa county, Penn
sylvania. This district is famous the country
over as the Wilmot district where the cele-
brated "proviso" first saw the light. Mr..
Grow was at one time perhaps the best known
politician of the day, and was strongly urged
for the Vice Presidency in 1868. He is one of
the old anti-slavery guards who prosecuted the
cause of abolition with a courage and ag-
gressiveness that won from the lovers of hu-
manity the highest encomiums. In the coming
contest he will be overwhelmingly victorious,
and when he returns to Washington he will
find hearty welcome awaiting him.
The Buffalo Daily Courier of the Sd instant
has an article roundly abusing Mr.. German,
of Marshall, Michigan, Assistant Secretary Of
the Interior, for issuing a notice to the en-
ployees of that Department informing them
that the appropriations for their pay were ex-
hausted. There are several gormandizers in
Marshall all sound and reliable Democrats,
but there is no Mr.. German there. Hon.
Charles 7. Gorham, formerly United States
Minister to the Hague, has been resident of
Marshall for many years. He is now the
affable and competent Assistant Secretary of
the Interior. Mr.. G. is a first-class business
man, as we'll as Republican, and if the rebel
lious House were disposed not to appropriate
money enough to pay the clerks it would seem
very proper that the notice referred to should
be sent.
The Democratic House, instead of throwing
Democrats out of employment who will only
help to swell the innumerable caravan which
is already suffering from the evils of involun-
tary idleness, should iudiciousy employ these
needy people on our public buildings and
grounds, on our rivers and levees. Now labor
is cheap, but when the revival of business
comes, as it must soon come, their labor will
demand a higher price. The Government
should give employment to as many as posi-
BILE now, and when commerce once more be-
comes prosperous all but absolutely necessary
work can be stopped, and the new industries
that will then arise from the impetus of new
era of prosperity will afford ample labor for
the men who will thus be discharged from
Government work.
The Republicans of Indiana are having every
thing their own way. Hendricks record
during the past fifteen years is all the cam
paign document they need. His Shelbyville
speech, on February 5, 1864, and the poster of
the meeting which he addressed at Seymour,
on September Il, 1864, are bonanzas, and every
war Democrat and old soldier who reads them
will vote the Republican ticket. In the speech
he advised resistance to the forcible drafting
of soldiers, predicting that the rebellion could
not be put down if negroes were allowed to
tight, and said, " did not advise anybody to
enlist, because 1 was not going myself, and
would not recommend any one to do thing
would not do myself" The poster of the
meeting said: democratic mass meeting.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks will address the
people of jackson and adjoining counties at
Seymour, on Wednesday, September IA, at 10
O'Clock. Let all who favor peace-all who
desire to be free from the death grip of this
infamously wicked, imbecile and tyrannical
Administration, its arbitrary and illegal ar
rests, and its drafts and conscription laws, by
which neaceful citizens are drapped from their
