For all that's bright must tade.
And palnee AMI temple shall ernmole to

And gorgeous statues of brenze shall last.
Aud mines OF gold leave but their crust;
For all mats bright must fade.
And the Evening Star, with Its shining

That iilumes the city night after night,
Shall pass away. and be lost TO sight;
For all thxt's bright must iade.

1t is not pleasant thing to do by any means
to lead a bolt in ones party against a regular
nomination. 70 lead a forlom hope under
such circumstances requires the courag" Of
one's convictions: TO lead it against Mr.. Ben
jamn +. Butler calls for a degree Of patriot
ism and unSclfshncsS as rare as 1t Is praise
worthy. For "a bolt against ones party means
in most instances virtual Acknowledgement
thereafter, as the penalty of mutiry, and con
scnucntly the sacrifice Of personal ambition and
abandonment OF political aspirations; and there
are few men in politics WHO would not rather
.it down under mischievOus and wicked NOM
inaiions than take the chances Of disaster in
cpposing them. A bolt which takes the form
of a ior,nrn hope and only holds out to the
voter The opportunity to put in his hopeless
prote., against the devil and the dcyiitry OF
machinery, is visited with bittcrer hostility aud
intenscr hate, for the very reason that IFS hope
lessncss carries with it an assumption of virtue
which is itself taken as an ofcnsc. TO be can
didate of a bolt against Butler must be
especially distasteful and disagrecabe to Il
gentlemen who knows Mr.. Buffers methods
and the tactics by which that person has man
aged to keep his grOtcsquc figure so long CON
spicuous in politics. Judge f.. lockwood ll0ar
deserves the thanks of all decent and truth
loving people, and he is especially entitled to
the gratitude of the Republican party for
cOnsenting 10 occupy this position before the
country. lie leads a bolt against the Irregular" "
nomination of Mr.. Butler, and accepts the
nomination in opposition TO him with the sole
and simple purpose of furnishing the honest
Republicans in his district an opportunity to
protest formally against the inconsistency and
dishonesty of Buffers candidacy. He does not
expect to be elected. Possibly the opposition
does not expect to be able to defeat Mr.. But
Ter in any event. The idea in the movement
is that the voters of the With District
should have, as Judge IIoar expresses it,
a candidate 4" for whom they may cast their
"votes with the assurance that he stands squarely
on the whole Republican platform, and re-
"pudiates none of its planks." 1t is an I'M
commonly good thing to do in these times.
Whether it results in the election of Mr..
Tarbox. the Democratic candidate, or of Mr..
Butler by an accession of Democratic votes,
or of Judge HOar, which is not now reckoned
probable, the effect is good already, and will
continue to produce good. 1t is fresh breath
of pure air from Concord, and it sweetens
politics at once.
For our own part we desire to thank Judge
Hoar for his action. Immediately after the
nomination of Butler THE TRIBUNE took Oc-
casiOn to urge upon the self-respecting
Republicans of the With Massachusetts
District the necessity of making in simple

4 solid south-what doe, il moan7 Why
Goes it alarm all thoughtful menl Why do
the few former Republicans who now defend
Democracy take so much pains TO satisfy
themselves and others that a solid south
means only reaction in favor OF reform
That the Republican party has lost ground at
The South is not strange, for the conduct ot
those who have secured the confidence OF the
more ignorant and inexperienced c0lorcd yot-
cr, has been such as to drive many white men
to oppose that party. But when it come, 20
pass that no Republican votes are cas- in
counties where the coorcd voters are thc ma
iority, and where they have been more i--
norant and more under the influence OF party
leaders than anywhere else, what does
that mean In Yazoo County, Mississippi,
in 1872, GOV. Amcs received 2,i99
votes. although all the Republicans who were
not thoroughly PARTISAN supported the indie
pendent Republican, Alcorn. But in 1875,
though the Republicans were united they east
ONLY seven votes i'll that county. Similar
startling changes appeared in other counties.
where the colorcd majority is overwhelming.
The recent election in Alabama alarmed tie
country because in counties where thousands
vote of that party was counted by tens. Had
these changes taken place i'll any county of
white population, no matter wbcrc, II would
have seemed almost miraculous. But does any
man living really believe that the least intel
ligcnt class Of cOlOrcd voters, whose hostility
to Democracy is most bitter and obstinate in
counties where they form an overwhelming
majority, have suddenly become converted to
"rcform" $50 unanimously that not one in Il
hundred votes against Democracy!
The bare statement of the question Suiiiccs
for candid men. All the proof that has been
accumulated of fraud, intimidation, violence
massacre, is utterly supcrtluous in the pres
cnce of the results. These speak for them
selves We kaOlc, as well as if we had been
present to witness every detail Of the opera
ton, that in such counties tlc majority was in
some way deprived of its freedom of choice
and ovcrpowercd by the minority. Now it is
the fundamental idea of our Government that
absolute freedom of choice shall be conceded
and maintained, and that maj0ritics shall rule
They may sometimes be vicious, and some
times hOpelessly ignorant, as in some precincts
in this very. city maiOritics are. But it Is none
the less an assault upon the first principles of
free government If these maJOrliieS are de-
prived of that freedom of choice which
the Constitution guarantees to all alike.
Yet this is "the Mississippi PLAN" which
the Democrats openly boast is to secure
them solid South. They do not deny that
means are used which must be held utterly
inexcusable. When the employer ard land
owner says "Vote as bid, or you shall not
"live upon my land, my neighbors Will not
"let you live upon their land, none of us will
"employ you, and you and your children shall
"starve," that is war against the first princi-
pies Of free government. Yet it is not denied
that these and similar means aIc used to CO.
New-York tribune., 1876-10-06

cree voters; the Democrats only deny, what
overwhelming evidence proves, that IN some
quarters whipping, assassination. and massacre
are resorted to when other means fail. BE the
methods what they may, solid South means
complete denial to the colored voters OF that
freedom of choice which the Constitution guar
antees to them as to ali other citizens.
What difference does it make whether the
Fifteenth Amendment is nullifed by states or
practically defeated by coercion with or with
ont intimidation and murderR In either case
free government does not exit and the SUI
preme law of the land is deied. 1t Is time
for the Southern Democrats to understand
that neither the Fifteenth Amendment nor
any other part of the Constitution can be
nulifed with impunity. The people OF TINS
country added that amendment to the Constl-
tuition very deliberately because profoundly
convinced of It's necessity. They will rot per-
NIT it to be set aside, whether by refusal OF
employment or by massacre. Because they
understand that solid South means defiance
of the Constitution ana war upon free govern
ment the answer will be a solid North.
New-York tribune., 1876-10-06

aud other Democratic journals The whole
Democratic party went pell-mell into the
French camp-why' Because it wanted to
please the Irish voters because il is essentially
the ultramontane party; because it could not
forgive the loyalty Of Germans IN suppressing
Democratic rebellion here When pubic
meetings were held, the hearty sympathy OF
Republicans was fully shown, while even the
most cautious Democratic leaders, ii they did
not openly take sides against the German
cause, acted as Gov. Hendricks did when in
vitcd TO speak with Gov. Baker at such ameet-
ing at IEdianapOi5-he replied that it was a
pretty important question, and that he had not
had time to make up his mind. Gov. Baker,
not afraid of the Irish vote, spoke warmly
And so it was oil over the land. Americans
remember these things, because they showed
so clearly the spirit and tendency of the Dem
ocratic party, and we do not suppose the Ger
mans have forgotten them. To party Of such
tendencies the German voters viii not be trans
ferred, like a flock of sheep, by the shallow
tricks of dcmagogues.
It will be quite as hard to make the Germans
support the party of repudation. They know
very well that in our hour Of trial, when the
public credit was sinking, when our own saw
ings grew scanty, when England would not
lend dollar, and when France was watching
across the Mexican border for chance to
stab the Union in the back, that it was the
German people who came forward, took our
bonds by the m ions, and proved their faith
in the Union. The party which threatens TO
impair the public credit makes war upon
German creditors. Democratic repudiators
would like to PUNISH Germany for its faith in
the Union, but they viii never be able to do
it by the aid OF German votes.

GERMAN MEMORIES md DEHOCRiTIC
TRICKS


The Democrats at tie West continue the
most desperate cXcrtiOns to capture the Ger
man vote. Their chief appeal is based upon
the fact that the Republican candidate for
Secretary of State IN Ohio happens to he Il
man who does not drink beer. This disgusting
piece of demagOgi'm will fail, and for very
simple and obvious reasons. The German
voter does not cOniine his attention to the
beer question; he thinks of several other
things, aud especially of the debt which this
country owes TO German citizens, and OF the
conduct of different parties and classes here
during the war between Germany and
France.
Five years ago the Democrats, who had not
yet recovered from their disgust because those
whom they called 3" the id Dutch" were
generally true to the Union here, were fond
of sncering at the ardent and dnmonsratve
affection of the Germans for th.m Ed,her'and.
Yet this affection, so far nom LcinC di,clcit-
able, is one of the most p1;scwOrthy. as wen
as the strongest, TRAITS Of German character,
and it would have been more polite aS well
as more decent in the Democrats not 10 wan

tally an Irish and ultramOntane party, and
during the great struggle of Germany its real
spirit broke through all restraints of prudence
or decency. Probably every intelligent Ger
man remembers the sneers and ailrOnts which
mt that time met him so often in streets
and other public places, and if he did not re-
sent he has not forgotten the unfair spirit
and untruthful statements of the leading Dem
ocratic papers, which seemed ANXIOUS only to
earn for themselves distinction as French
organs. We do not forget them, because,

felt, it was continually berated and vehemcntly
