Boss Shepherds Candidate for Congress

JOHN ii. KErcHAM, the Republican can
didate for Congress in the Thirteenth Dis
tfict of this State. now represented by
JOHN A. WHIrEHoUsE, is altogether a Mt
exponent Of his party and its principles.
He was driven from Congress for being Il
notorious jobber, n tool of SEcoR ROME
sons ana servile instrument OF the
Washington Ring, in helping to procure
the corrupt appropriations and legislati on
by which Boss SHEPHERD and his crew
ruled the District of Columbia, until they
were expelled in ls!4 by the votes OF both
parties, under the moral coercion of public
Indignation at their outrages.
When the temporary Government was
formed, GRANT nominated SHEPHERD Mt
the head Of the three Commissioners. right
in the teeth Of the exposures Of his venallty
and jobbery. That was too much for tho
Republican Senate, aud he was almost
unanimously rejected, being sustained only
runs the Republican machine. JONES OF
Nevada, and three cIrpet-baggers.
Resentful mt the action of the Senate,
GRANT allowed Boss SHEPHERD TO appoint
his own successor, and no selected JoHN II.
KErCHAM for that place. In Office he has
been the creature and the confederate Of
the Washington Ring, rs he was while in
Congress but with more power for harm.
Through his agency and collision with Job
bers the Government of the District Is
worse now than when in the hands Of
SHEPHERD. He and his associates expend-
ell 1--WE millions of dollars in one year, after
Congress established the commission to
reform glaring corruption.
II Boss SHEPHERD himself were nomi-
mated as the Republican candidate for Con-
gress, n greater insult could not be offered
to the people of the Thirteenth District
than has been in the selection of this man,
who is notorious as his instrument, who
commands no respect or confidence, and
who is allied with the worst lobbyists that
ever infested the capital. In every sense
he is the clndldlte OF the Washington
Ring, is supported with money stolen from
the taxpayers, and Is wanted in Congress
to continue the system by which rascality
has tiourished under GRANT. In the days
of TWEED 5 power KErcHAM was one of his
slaves, and 1t was only natural he should
transfer his allegiance to SHEPHERD.

The Last OF the Bugbear..

The desperate supporters of HAYES have
been fighting n losing battle from the
opening of the campaign. No sooner did
they plant themselves ON position than
they were driven from il and compelled
to fall back in disorder.
Their first charge WINS that TILDEN fa-
vored soft money and an imitation of the
currency. But the 81. Louis platform and
the record of Gov. TLpEN soon disposed
OF this falsehood.
Then they nssailed him on the subject of
the income tax. But the lucid letter of
Judge SINNoTT promptly put this manu-
featured bugbear to flight.
Then they let out another reef of the
bloody shirt in the shape of the Southern
war claims. But Gov. TrLDES's emphatic
letter tore il to tatters.
Then they got GRANT to send troops to
South Carolina with the intent of fright
ening the Southern people from voting
for TILDEN and Reform. But the conspir-
ators soon saw that though they might
perhaps clutch the seven electoral votes of
that State by tins means, IL would cause
the loss to HAYES of twice or thrice seven

made his political plea on tho HAYES side Of

had been advertised that he would all
dress the business men Of New York on
those questions OF the canvass that af-
feet their business interests. But yet he
overlooked the most vital matters OF practi-
cal Importance to tho mercantile, financial. and
business community OF this city-those matters
which really relate TO their welfare and prosper
ity now and hereafter. He pumped up
his worn-out theories. worked away at his
vaguc arguments. and did his best for the
side that had called him out. But he did not
show the connection OF business depression.
commercial stagnation, financial confusion, and
industrial decay, with the corruption and
imbecility OF Grantism, tho extravaganza
and tomfoolery OF the Administration,
the rapacity and stiffness Of our Republican law
makers, or the ruinous conduct OF the Republl-
can party. Our business classes have studied
these things more deeply and advantageousy
than Lawyer EvARTs has done. so far rs appe r

Not Bound to support Nomination.

No man with an opinion of his own, no
man with any self-respect feels bound to
support an unfit candidate merely because
he has been put in nomination. The OPP
posite doctrine ignores entirely the cit-
zens right Of individual judgment. aud
turns over the whole business of electing
our public officers to few self-consti-
tuted, autocratic managers.

JOHN KELLY, if not better, and certainly
better qualified TO select candidate for

compliments Between Carpct- Dugger..

The Republican Convention, which NOM
mated CHAMBERLAIN for Governor OF
South Carolina with "a gang OF notorious
black and white thieves for associates on
the ticket, sat five days aud nights Mt
Columbia. 1t was a war between rival fac
tions for the possession OF Office, as means
of robbing the people CHAMBERLAIN led
one crew, aud PATTERSON the other, each
being sustained by partisans conspicuous
for their infamy in the legislation of the
PROSTATE State.
The negro carpet-bagger, ELLIOTT OF
Boston, who resigned seat in Congress
with n salary OF 5000 year. to become n
member Of the Legislature and grow rich
rapidly on 5000 year, was one OF CHAM

strong illustration, oonsiderius his own
experience and the character of the me-.
who were urging his reelection.
During the discussions In the Convention,
ELLIOTT on one occasion rose aud said: =" l
have papers in my pocket which, II pro-
duce, will brand Governor CHAMBERLAIN
rs a felon, and consign him to the peniten-
duce these damning papers. On the con-
trary, that threat was the entering wedge
of bargain between CHAMBERLAIN and
PATTERSON to bury the hatchet, and to
reconcile their differences for the sake OF
the spoils. and of an agreement to divide
tho Ave years OF good stealing" in the
event of success.
CHAMBERLAIN and ELLIOTT are now nsso-
ciated on the same ticket with CARDozA,
DUNN, aud HAYNE, who have also abused
each other for all that is vile and degraded
in life. There is hardly any difference be-
tween them, except perhaps that CHAM
BERLAIN is a better educated rogue than
his companions, but not n particle more
honest or worthy of credit.
To support n combination of this kind,
the whole power of the Federal Govern
ment is now employed, with arms, moral
coercion, threats, and open intimidation,
under the abused forms OF law and upon
the most false pretences. A partisan mar
shall and his reckless deputies, chosen from
the worst class of negroes, in order TO
provoke strife, rule the State like des-
