THE ELECTIONS, ETC.

great campaigns lies in the two former 1t is
important to know how they are held and
whittier they arc moving. By the terms of
his contract entered into at Wormley's Res
taurant, President Hayes has satisfied the
South for and in behalf of the Secession De-
rnocracy. This leaves the problem of future
national contests to be figured out IN the dl-
vided North. The present appearances lndl-
cate only too plainly that the Presidents
agreement and purpose to destroy the Repub-
lcan party has been carried out with effective
ness His policy is a syllogism invented by
an epithet- maker. The three points of this
syllogism can be briefly stated thus The Re-
publican Party is run Fly political machinery );

fore the Republican party must be destroyed.
Behind him stalks cold hearted commerce.
Commerce would open the slave-trade if it
could, and such trade were profitable. When
Jefferson Davis decreed the starvation of thir
teen thousand Union prisoners at Anderson
vile he was merely pursuing, in a relentless
way, the means to the end. The ways of com
MERGE are not less MEMORABLE The adherents
of the Lost Cause owned, and still own, the
lands of the South. This gives them an in
calculable power. In a barbarously ostenta
tious way, the Southerners are spendthrifts.
New York and Boston are pawn-shops. When
the South rebelled, it left its pledges unre-
deemed. 1t cut off its Northern debts with
the drawn sword of civil war. Mercantile

means to the end, just as Davis did They
have demanded man in the Presidency who
should starve to death the Republican party
of the South. Hayes, over-anxious for a sal
airy of 900 a year, and seized with pusil
luminous zeal to asperse the character of
Grant, made indecent haste to enter into an
infamous agreement with the agents of the
Confederacy The heart of the North is an
gered at the development of the Presidents
policy. They of Ohio spewed it out of their
mouths. Not so the button makers and sugar
dealers. These hail the discomforture Of the
scalawag and the overthrow of the carpet
Dagger, allies of the Republican party Of the
North, tho they were, with satisfaction. The
spendthrift Southerner, will come into his
portion and huckstering will revive. Mean
time the President, affecting a platonic love
for all mankind (othcr than the Machine), has |
outdone the late Reyerdy johnson in the |
eagerness of his indiscriminate hand shaking |
The comprehensiveness of his gushing senti
mentalism has flooded the press and the TO-
rum with bathos, knee-deep. Pecksnif has |
come again, and Maworm sits triumphant. Is |
it any wonder the Republican party seems to
be destroyedl In one entire section of the
Union, Repubicanism is as impossible now as
abolitionism was before the war Of the rebel
lion. The first act of the last Republican
President was to summon about him burial
party for a Cabinet his next was precipi-
tous movement looking to the humiliation of
the Republican organizations in the Southern
States. Then, after many Sights and insults
to his illustrious predecessor and all the faith
full men who had stood by his administration,
he began his tour of the country. Disheart-
ened Republicans from Tennessee, Louisiana
South Carolina and other parts of the South
look aghast when they report the fact that in
his journeyings through their section Hayes
has made his bed with the rebels and quite |
gaored all Republicans. This was to have {
been expected of man who put Key, an I'M
washed rebel, in his Cabinet, while James c
Longstreet lived to represent repentent and
confederation. The fact is only ,
TOO evident that we have seen the last Repub- y
lean President. Of Grant will accept the !
