Modern Republication Is nothing. if
not sectional and proscriptive. What
was originally party Of great moral
ideas;" the avowed advocate of univer-
sal suffrage, and the brotherhood of
man, has been absorbed by Grantism.
and is narrowed down to sectional
ism and Know Nothingism. Many of
its leaders to-day were primitive Know
Nothings, and Governor Hayes, its
standard. bearer, is charged with having
been tho Chaplain of a lodge in Cincin-
natl, Ohio. An offshoot of Know Moth
ingism, known as the " American Al
lance" which advocates the election
of American born citizens only, to
official positions. Is now organized
throughout the country. Shortly after
the Cincinnati Convention, the Alliance
adopted series of resolutions endors-
ing Hayes and Wheeler and earnestly
advising all who are In favor of Ameri-
can principles, as advocated and set
forth in the resolutions, to give them
an active and determined support.
"These resolutions were sent to
Governor Hayes, who returned the fol-
lowing reply. dated July 9th, 1876.
addressed to Samuel j. Tyler, sSecre-
tary of the American Alliance:
"I have just received your letter in
forming me of my election as mem.
