NEW MRNs NO, NO, LYMAN
LYMAN TRysdBuLL sofsnlA, the rene
cade who has been buried for years,
resurrected himself few days since, and
came forth from the ;obscurity that has
hidden him since the Republican party
kicked him out, and made speech. Like
all Republicans who take up the Demo
cratic side, he finds it uphill work, and
says many foolish things. He tries to
excuse the Democracy, and among other
things said @the Democracy is composed
of new men" New men since whenf
Since 1872? No. The same force as
then, except that it has not the Liberal
support of that year. but has the sup
port of all the rebels who have been en-
franchised since that time. New since
1868. or 1864, or 1860? No. 1t isthe
same old clement; in fact when wecome to
count the noses that supported Buchanan
in SO or Breckenridge in 80, we see but
few new faces and no new leaders. The
roll call is responded to by the fre-eating
Southron who SO beldly declared for So
cession, in 1860, and by the Northern
doughfase who patted him on the back,
as Tilden did, and said "God speed you;
''you cannot be coerced; our fathers left |
Gus the government with revolution or
"ganized, and any soldier of the Union
"who molests you can be arrested by any
"justice of the peace, for trespass.' Yes,
those old mossbacks are all there, and
when their roll call is completed, the end
is about reached But hold here is an
addendum, so smalland insignificant, and
worthless, that even Democracy count
nothing upon it; it consists of the names
of soreheads, and is headed by Lyman
Trumbull, tailed by Farnsworth, and the
head and tail form about all there is OF
the body. t
We have called the roll and not found
the snew men," now let us investigate
with microscope and see if we have
overlooked any. Our examination reveals
(as did our roll CALL the rampant rebel.
Remember that every rebel was a Demo
crat. Democracy has them yet. Every
copperhead, fre-in-therear, northern, cow
ardly, city-burning doughfaee, was a Dem
ocrat during the war, and is still. JEFF
Davis, was Democrat when he was elect
ed President Of the Southern Confedera-
cy; was Democrat when he ordered his
brutal tools to starve and murder the
Union soldiers at Andersonville, Tyler,
and every other rebel prison; was Dem
ocrat when in petticoats he attempted to
escape from the Union cav Try; and is
Democrat of the loudest kind to-day, and
SAYS he believes the "Lost cause" is not
dead. Robert Toombs, Ben Hill, alpha
betieal Lamar, Reagan, Jake Thompson,
Gov. Vance, Forest, Wade Hampton,
Butcher Butler of Hamburg were all
Democrats and are now, and the latter
when he helped murder the unoffending
blacks at Hamburg was but carrying out
the plans Of the Tilden Campaign Com
mittee. In the north the same old crew
is gathering for the fray. Tilden and
Hendricks, two as mean Copperheads as
ever disgraced our land take the lead, and
they are followed by such sympathizers
as Pendleten, Voorhees,, Mcdonald, Sey-
mour, Bayard,l Cox, Randall, Henry Clay
Dean, Hendershott, and their lesser lights.
The same old crew, singing the same old
tune, and all in the same old boat. New
men, forsooth. If new, why such leaders.
Not one single solitary leader of any
prominence, who was not blatant rebel,
a cowardly Copperhead, a fire-in-the-rear
doughface, or sneaking sorehead, of
which latter class, Lyman Trumbull, thou
art one. No, no, Lyman, new men do
not go 10 what your organ, the Chicago
Times, calls aaputrid reminescencc. MOI
no Lyman! 1t is the same old party,
aud the same old crew, and not a single
hope of success outside of "solid Demo-
cratic South" just as it used to have,
just as it had in 1860; just as it had in
secession; just as it has now if you take
out the negro vote and those who have
moved in since the war closed. If these
are new men, where are your old ones.
Not only the same old crew, but they are
practicing the same old games they always
played, numbering men in every Southern
State because they are Republicans, just
as they did in 1860, and all previous
years. No, no, Lyman, the addendum is
all that is @1new,S and that is old enough
to be quoted as stale. fsnsb ngG .a0u
