THE INDEPENDENTS OF WIS

We had the pleasure of cali On
Thursday last. from w Orledge, E..
Of Kenosha, Wisconsin, Chairman ftko
Central Conmittea O. tho Greenbacko1D
of Wisconsin. We found him . v9lf
we'll informed, agreeable gentlema
He tells us that the Independent Party T.
growing rapidly ia that state. Therp
are several Grcenback Clubs in Gran1
county. The city Of Milwaukee has !
club composed of one hundred of TIN
foremost business men of that city:
men worth from SO. 900 to one million
dollars each. In kenosha there is Il
large club. Sheboygan county has sevs
eral clubs. Others are in process OF
formation all over the state.
A state convention OF the Greenback
Party will be held at Milwaukee on the
% Il May to organize the state aud
send delegates to the Indianapolis con-
ven6on.
This is goed news. We had feared
that nothing Was being done in W;scon-
| sin.
| Mr.. Orledge i con6den, lat the con-
vention at Indianapolis will be = grand
success and that it will name the next
president. His theory is that one party
or the other will accept its candidate
and platform and tia. the united vos<
will decide the contest.

THE GREEVBACK PARTY IN RICE
COUNT Y.

The meeting which we had the honor
of addressing on Saturday last at p.
m. at Faribault was one of the largest
we have ever seen assembled in the
state. 1t was made up OF men OF all
parties, and from differ Mt portions OF the
county and in point Of character and in
tel,gence il would compare favoraoy
with any assemblage that could be gath
cred together in any part Of the United
States.
The progress OF the Independent party
in Rice county has been extraordinary.
Commencing two months ago with three
or tour men. it has progressed until it
now contains one third of the voters OF
the county actually enrolled in its mem
bership. 1t has carried the city Of Farl-
bault, electing Gen. Nutting, Mayor.

THE DEMOCRATS are displaying consid-
cradle cheek in the claim to having
provided for the preference being given to
Union soldiers and soldiers widows and
daughters in the Departmental appoint
ments. Gen. Ben. Butler inaugurated the
system last Congress, and Senator Clayton
started in the Senate the 7th of June last.
The Democratic House would not have
agreed to it ALL only that it was supposed
that by this means some Democratic ex-
soldiers and their families might possibly
be benefited through this provision who
could receive it in no other, inasmuch
as the appointing power was Repub-
lican. Had a Democratic Administra-
ton been in power, tie action of the House
shows concIusively that ex-Iebel soldiers,
their widows and orphans would have
been given decided preference in appoint
ments over those of Union proclivities.
Ex-Union soldiers at the House wing of
the Capitol were quickly bounced" last

BELOW we give in parallel columns
paragraph from the St. Louis platform,
and the same paragraph as it is published
in most of the Southern Democratic papers:
NORTHERN VERSION. SOUTHERN VERSION.
Reform is necessary Reform is necessary

whole people the whole people the
Union, eleven years Union, eleven years
ago happily rescued ago happily rescued

but now to be saved
from a corrupt cen
tralism.
1t will be observed that in the North
this clause denounces secession; in the
South it denounces the war as tending to
corrupt Capitalization. Tilden, who wrote
the platform, constructed it SO skillfully
that all allusion TO secession can be left out
and the war denounced. 1t was hoped
that this would pass unperceIved, and thus
Northern support would be secured with
out hurting the feelings of the Southern
'fsecesh." We have examined a large
number of Southern Democratic papers,
and find the same words given above used
in all of them. The editors of these papers
know that their version Is false, but they
have to use 1t to satisfy their readers. Do
Northern Union Dem 1crat', do the Union
soldiers want any better evidence of the
feeling of the people of the South than the
fact that the Democratic papers dNre not
publish that part of their own. platform
which denounces secession? What a com
mentary, too, it is on Governor Tlden's
sincerity
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-09-06

The discouraging private information re-
ceived from prominent Democrats in Indiana,
the Seymour iasco in New York, the terrible
position in which Tilden is placed by his two
sworn statements in relation to his income, and
above all the Scott Lord resolution, followed
by the Presidents order and Attorney General
Taft's circular letter to the United States mar
shals, have had very depressing effect upon
the Democrats of the East, AMI they now de-
spair of success at the November election.
Republicans should not, however, relax their
exertions. A sweeping victory now will make
easier work four years hence.

MISSISSIPPI white ''banditti'' are now en-
gagged in compelling the withdrawal of their
names by bondsmen of Republican sheriffs,
when, under an act of the last Legislature,
the vacancy is filled by special election.
At such an election held in Fayette county
few days since, which gave Lynch ma
jority of CTS for Congress in 1874, the
Democratic candidate, under the protection
of the rife-club system of the banditti, re-
ceived majority of 1919. There was no
intimidation or compulsion about this. 1t
was simple conversion through fear and
rembling.

confidence, and for whom they will vote.

IT generally conceded by the press of

THE General Government has interposed
its strong arm, and the necessary steps
have been taken to protect the weak

not be allowed to murder disarmed and in

If SECRETARY CAMERON had spent the
last eight years Of his life in the Southern
States he could not have formed a more
correct estimate of the people there than
he has. He knows the animus which actu-

them, and has promptly adopted the ne

These four items are absolutely
removed from the category of ex

and therefore furnish the best Illus
tsatiOn of the reckless eXtravagance
which Grantism has introduced into
the public service. They show an
increase Of 100 per cent. in the ag-
gregate, and double as much on
half the great items.
Now, ii We turn to the revenue of
the United States, it will be found
hat the same 10 prac ised IN another
form, and that the cost of collection
increases in the ratio that the re-
-e;pts from customs and internal
pvenue diminish. The plain honest
rule is exactly reversed. Here are
the proofs from the regular reports,
which cannot be disputed or cx
claimed away.
