THE REPUBLICAN PARTY lMpGACHED.

The letter Of William Lloyd Garrison
TO Judge Pilman contains much that 10

But this remarkable document cons

DISTINGUISHED long enough to give the
republican party, as it thought, n

the nation, it was for this that the
strong, victorious and rich republican

trust was committed to its hands, and
instead of using it for the good of the
country, it was used only to the advan-

Of it which was corruptly engaged in
credit mobilier work, or coming money
in the departments of the government.
Mr.. Hayes and those of his school of
republicanism resolved to put stop to
this sort of thing, and realizing that
the blow would have more force under

use extraordinary means to get con-

it is we'll for the cause OF
truth and justice that they did. Any
how, owing to this split between ultra
and liberal republicanism the world is
in q fair way to get glympse ut the
deeper and more perfectly concealed
purposes of ultra radicalism. We can
always rest assured that any adminis-

Lloyd Garrison and those of his politi,
cal school, is on nearly the right track,
is working honestly for the good of all
the people, and not for class or sin.

Mr.. Garrisons letter is q timely one
and we hope it is but the first of long
series, from the same pen, because all
we want is for the deeper policies of III
ira radicalism to be laid bare, and such
letters as his to Judge Pilman do that
in the most eiiectual way.
