| COL. SWIMMERS SPEECH.
| After abiding to the late municipal election
he declared that the Democrats must win in
| November The whole country is crying fol
reform and the Republicans are not insensible
to the cry. They have been arraigned before
the bar of public opinion and have plead guilty
and now ask that you believe them innocent.
When u physician is i'll he does not prescribe
for himself but sends to a brother in his profess
sion, and just so the Republican party must be
cured by DR.. Tilden Hayes says he wants re-
form and in his admirable letter strikes at the
very ground work. But his party don't want
the reform which he contemplates and which
provides that office holders shall not interfere
In politics, for such a course would reform the
party out CT existence in the South, where the
Republican cause Is championed almost ex-
clusively by office holders.
If the people want reform they must take an
active part themselves and not leave everything
to politicians.
