The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-10-12
Campaign Notes.

BROOKLYN argus: a colored voter in
Georgia has just been kicked to death by
amule. II would seem as if President
Grant had not sent troops into the
Southern States moment too soon.
The Scandinayians of Illinois, Wis.
consin, and Minnesota are almost all for
Tlden and Hendricks. They have here
tofore nearly all been Republicans, but
they want a change from Republican cor
ruption and misrule.
ALBANY Argus: The only Southern
Republican States are Louisiana and
South Carolina. And those are the only
States in the South in the securities OF
which the Trustees of the Peabody Fund
will not invest. on the ground that they
are 80 badly governed.
MILWAUKEE Meas: If the South
should array itself in solid column
against the Republican party at thenext
Presidential election, and for all time to
come, it will occasion no surprise in the
minds of intelligent observers of passing
events. A solid South is the natural pro
duct of Republican misrule, and it is a
protest against the most loathsome
tyranny that ever was imposed upon a
people acting under the name of free.

BOSTON Globe Ind. Rep.): The &C
cusation against the present and Other
recent administrations is not that money
has been directly embezzled, but that il
has been extravagantly expended, and
often to the profit indirectly to those
who have had the disbursement of it
1t is no credit to a public official that
he has not stolen money as it passed
through his hands, if he has wasted ii
or used it for the profit of himself and
friends.
BOSTON Post: Disgust is rapidly
alternating the better class of Rspubli
cans in this community from their party
and its candidates. The organs do moi
tell about it, and not lisp of disaffec.
tion is heard on the platform of Faneui
or Music Hall. But the time has come
when men who have but to reach out
their hands to receive honor and Office
from the party do not hesitate to an
nounee in private conversation theil
detestation of the party methods ant
their disposition to vote for Tilden anG
Adams.
CONGRESSMAN SAYLER: 1t was Pops
who used to swear "God mend me,n anC
swearing his fayorite oath one day il
the presence of a little boy, the boz
looked at the diminished and misshapeI
form of the great poet and said: "GoC
mend you, indeedl l think it would b,
good deal easier to make a new one.
You talk about mending the Republican
party, about reform within its limits.
tell you, my fellow-citizsns, that in thi
October and in this November election
the people of the country must make
new one.
NEW YORK Nation: When we remem
Der how the inherent difficulties of th
Southern situation have been aggravate
by rascally officials, under the form of
Republican Administration at Washing
ton; when we remember the Freedmen
Savings Bank and its Republican Tru
tees; when we look at Casey, Packard
Spencer and their compeers; when, in
word, it is considered that the Republic
ans have controlled the general govern
ment since the war, and that it is undt
their own administration that the Sout
has come to its present condition, tt
efrontery with which the party leader
confessing no errors and offering no ne
ideas, demand new lease of power sin
ply on the ground that they alone Al
fit to take care of the South, is simpl
amazing.
1T is now simply question wheth,
public opinion will tolerate the enforc
ment by the Executive of laws whiC
the Supreme Court have declared TIL
Congress had no power to pass. 1t
simply question whether the Presidel
of the United States shall be confined
his execution of laws to those whit
Congress had constitutional power to e
act, or shall be permitted to make Ia
at bis own pleasure and enforce it
