Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-05-30

The party which repealed the Mis-
souri, Compromise under the Admins
tration of President Pierce for the pur-
pose of removing all restrictions to tho
spread Of slavery; the party which under
Buchanan undertook to force slave
Constitution upon the people OF Kansas;
the party which. through John b. Floyd,
As Buchanan's Secretary Of War, and
Jacob Thompson. Secretary Of the Inte-
rior, robbed the Government Of every
thing in their respective departments IN
order that the Government might be
rendered powerless in fighting armed
rebellion; the party which, in 1864. de-
clared tho war for the suppression OF the
rebellion failure and called for Con-
vention to settle the difficulties between
tho North and South, again appears
upon the political stage and makes proc
lamation of its purity and intentions
regarding governmental affairs. Even
in Democratic State Conventions nova
DAYS resolutions are passed recommend
ing civil service reform. This was done
by the Democratic State Convention OF
California which met last week in San
Francisco, tie very city in which, only
. few weeks ago, DIR. Gibbons-one OF
the best physicians in the country-was
turned out of office as County Physician
to make room for Democratic disciple
of Esculapius whose skill was entirely
unknown. The disintegra!ion Of the
Democratic party commenced under
franklin Pierce and was continued
under James Buchanan, until finally the
whole Southern portion of i: joined IN
the Confederate rebellion and made war
upon the Government. Failing to dis
rupt the Republic by bullets, the De-
mocracy now seek to rule it by ballots.
BY the lethargy of the people two years
ago the Democrats succeeded in electins
majority of the House Of Representa-
tives. Owing to divisions in their own
ranks they have matured no legislation
which will benefit the country. Upon
only one subject have they been.agreed-
that Of investigations. They unearthed
the frauds practiced in the War Depart
mens in the matter of the selling Of post
traderships. And beyond this they have
done absolutely nothing. They are
striving to tear down in order that they
may build themselves up. But so soon
as they quit investigating Republican
officials, they are like ship at sea with
out charts, compass or rudder. When
the nation. in its dire extremity, issued
legal tender notes. the Democracy OF the
whole country denounced the Act au-
thorizins such issue as unconstitutional.
Now that the preliminary steps have
been taken by the Government to redeem
these greenbacks and retire them from
circulation, about one-half of the De-
mocracy declare that they are the best
circulating medium in tie world and
that the uOVeIDHleul eAoOii AeooS 'n~A-A
indefinitely. There is no cohesion
among the Democratic party to-day
throughout the country except the one
desire for public plumber. The Demo-
Gratis of New York will not vote for
rag-money candidate, and the Democrats
of Ohio will not vote for candidate who
stands on a hard money platform. This
division in the party will be as fatal to
it as was the split in 1860 between the
supporters of Stephen A. Douglas and
John c. Breckenridge. But for all this
thew will marshal their forces as they
did in 1S64-S and 1872, and with no
more chance OF success now than then.
Whether a hard or soft money platform
is adopted at st. Louis the result will be
the same-dissatisfactio and the fur
Their disintegration of the party. Ait
indications point that way. st. Louis
will contain as irreconcilab!e Democratic
elements as assembled in Charleston and
Baltimore in 1850. Without unity sue
cess to them is impossible, and this ap-
pears to be utterly out of the question.
