THE Republicans have been too

The Republicans have been too
long in power; in a free government
no party can be safely trusted to rule
for SO long term. They have also
had too great majority in the country
and in Congress, leaving them almost
without responsibility. They have
grown tyrannical and they have grown
corrupt beyond all precedent. Their
moral decay cannot be exaggerated in
words. They must be turned out.
That is the only prescription that is
adequate to the disease. The worst
Democratic administration will now
he better than the best one that the
Republican party can give us.-[New
York Sun.

+ -OED Sam. Tilden was "a traitor to
the Democratic party last year, and
united his efforts with the Republicans
to defeat the Democracy Cynthiana
News. .(s
That's so. He was such a condemn
ed traitor to the Democratic party that
he accepted its nomination for Cover
nor of New York in 1874, and so base a
Benedict Arnold to the Democracy
that he led it to 81 fifty thousand ma
+jority victory over the most popular
Radical in the State. His treason to
the Democracy last year was the break
ing mp of the Radical "canal rings
which had been pluntering the people
of enormous amounts for years past
Another act of treason was his "bust-
ing up" the Tweed hand of thieves in
New York city. "Old Sam Tilden's"
life is full of just snct acts of treachery
TO Democracy. And we confess to an
affectionate regard for the old traitor
for them. With him In the White
House, and in the full exercise of his
treacherous powers, the thieves that
have been having all their own way in
Washington ever since the induction
of Grant into the Presidential office
would soon be scattered AZ far and
wide as the members of the Tweed
ring. Well wonld it be for the coun-
thy; and the Democratic party, if both
were 'ull TO overlooking of snch traitors
AS cold Sam Tllden." y [Owensboro
