THE NEW PRESIDENT SHOWS
HIS HAND.

HIS HAND.
DISGUST OF THE RADICAL SAINTS.
Ola readers of American history will
all remember the outburst OF indlgna-
tion which pervaded the country in
1912 when John Tyler, by the death of
General Harrison. became President OF
the United States and appointed one or
two Democrats of national fame to i'm
por.ant trusts of limited compensation.
The anger of the Wings who had voted
for him for Vice President, knew no
bounds. In later years the case OF An
drew johnson, elected on the same ticket
with Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and who
became President by the death OF tha.
good man, is more familiar to most OF
our subscribers. The doctrine OF that
honest and upright man was, that the
Southern States should be governed by
bona 1ide citizens and not by men who
We're seat there with
FEDERAL COMMISSIONS
Ia their pockets as the only means of
getting livelihood. For this the sleuth-
hounds Of radicalism gave tongue
against him and the whole pack--"Tray
Blanche and Sweetheart-' we're howl,
ing Traitor at his heels. An attempt
to impeach him was made and only fail
ed through the lofty integrity of few
such Senators as Fessenden. Fowler and
men of stamp not easily found in the
United States Senate at the present date
Let us see what has become of those
who sought his overthrow. Thaddeus
Stevens, the arch-demon of the conspi-
racy. died in the arms of his culored
paramour with whom ne had lrved in
adultery for upwards of twenty years;
Schuyler Colfax. who rose to the Vice
Presidents chair through his completely
in the cabal. retired from Office with
THE faint OF BRIBERY
Reeking from his very garments and is
forgotten save as corrupt hypocrite; 4;
Ashley was made Governor of Montana
where he earned few honest pennies
by pardoning criminals for hundred
dollars apiece; Cole came back to Cali
fornla to spend his share of the Pacific
Mail Co.'S China subsidy and has since
lived in merited obscufity; Williams,
who became Attorney General under
Grant as reward tor his share of the
impeachment, was obliged to retire
from office to avoid being impeached
himself and is despised by all decent
men in either party; Morton, stricken
by the hand OF Nature for an early vio
lation of her laws, hobbies about OF
rather creeps like a reptile. with the
leer Of his gone but not forgotten lust
branded into his repulsive features; and
Conness, the servile hunkey of Stanford
Il Co.. is a sort of stool-pigecn lawyer
for Indian claims and Alabama damages.
DISGRACE OR DEATH,
One or the other, has overtaken every
man who conspired to overthrow An
drew johnson in his good work which.
after eight years of robbery and blood
shed under Ulysses the taker of gifts,
is now to be resumed by Rutherford B.
HAYES. His aim will be the restoration
of civil government and a gentle re,
minder to men of The Sheridan stamp
that the army is below the peo-
pie. The South is henceforth to be
governed by her sons. such as Nichols,
and Hampton. in the respective States
tf Louisiana and South Carolina; and
the bayonet is to become an instrument
forgotten at the ballot box. This is the
course laid down by President Hayes
and if he can only withstand outside
pressure for thirty days, he will be SO
thoroughly supported by the
LEADING MEN OF THE SOUTH
That it will not need five hundred SOL
diers to keep peace in the whole south
ern country. Men called johnson a
traitor to the Republican party, but
they should have remembered that Pres
ident johnson neuer aoas Republican.
He vas q war Democrat and was elected
on the Union Ticket. Mr.. Lincoln was
elected ON the Republican ticket in
1860, but not in 1864. The great politi-
cal exigency of that hour demanded an
obliteration of party ine3 and surreD-
der of party fealty up to the good of our
common country. We vo;ed that ticket
and have no cause to be ashamed of it.
for We recognized Lincoln in 1861 as
the constliutionally elected President of
the United States. There were no bay
onets, no corrupt returning boards
made up Of murderers and skin-gam
blers to count in the great awkward but
noble hearted old Prairie Giant.
THE CONSTITUTION
Made him President without the aid OF
an Electoral Commission, hinging on
the vote of a judge who had bought his
ermine with the brlbe of a sea- side cot
tage. johnson never yielded to his
base traducers. On the contrary he
lived long enough to get back to the
United States Senate, where he showed
up the sordid and venal Grant, who
stood wavering between the Republl-
cans and Democrats in 1868, till within
thirty days OF his nomination at Chica-
go and tner sold out to the highest bid
der. The leaders knew that with his
military prestige Grant could be elect
