OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

of Elector Cronin. A man doesn',
amount to much in their eyes un-
less it is his cheek that is prom
inent.
The Springfield Journal declares
that we give the leaders of Radical
ism no credi; for honesty. Well
since they haven't got the honesty
what the dickens do they want with
the credit.
"a clean shirt" says the Chica-
go Journal, sis a blessing to any
man." Why is it, then, that you
never seek to enjoy that blessing
yourself2"
"The Camerons," says an ex
change, Gown the Administration. "
And it is mighty worthless piece
OF property they own, too.
Grant may attempt to play the
Napoleon with coup d'et0t. but he
will find in the end that he has SIM
ply played the devil.
"Radicalism," says an exchange,
''has shown its hand" And it is
the dirtiest hand that ever was
shown.
One of the patriotic claims of
the Republican party is that it has
the right to forcibly seize State off,
ces and control elections by the
bayonet. The people have en-
phatically rebukcd this monstrous
assumption.
If Governor Tilden had declared
that he would sign all bills granting
rebel war claims" that Congress
might pass, he would have added
fifty thousand Radical votes to his
majority.
The Hayes Halstead- Medill South
ern Alliance business is utterly
played out. Hayes couldn't pass
himself off as reformer, and the
carpet baggers objected even to the
counterfeit presentment of reform.
An exchange declares that shell
is full of such governors as Stearns,
Chamberlain and Kellogg" But
no matter how full it may be, man
damn en- from the Supreme Court Of
Eternal Justice will, in due time,
compel the keeper of the establish
ment to make room for three
more.
All hell can not prevent Packard
from being governor" said kellogg.
Well, ''hell'' was not trying to pre-
vent Packard from being governor.
1t was "helP' which put up that
fraudulent majority for both Hayes
and Packard.
Grants chief counsellor, Johnny
Davenport, says that twenty thous
AMI men are enrolled in New York
for the purpose of seeing that Til
den is inaugurated. If Johnny
should extend his observations
through the country he would find |
four and half millions of men who |
propose to see that ceremony per-
formed
The present desperate struggle of
the Republican party for lease of
its existence, if successful, will be
followed by the exercise of iall the |
powers of centralized government,
with a total neglect to execute the
obligations which legitimate gov
eminent demands of those in pow
er.
The "boss" of Hayes is Senator
John Sherman. Sherman is the
concentrated essence of unbridled
hatred of the Southern people. 1t
is easy to perceive that Hayes as
president would be the mere tool
of John Sherman and his heather
ish Southern policy"
New York Commercial: "The
Democracy are becoming recon-
ciled to their defeat. Even old Ben
Hill of Georgia admits there might
be worse things than four years Of
Hayes" And Ben Hill is quite
right. Five years of Hayes would
be worse than four and four would
be the next thing to nation al ruin.
Tom Anderson, the Returning
Board thief, is left out in the cold
in the Senatorial arrangement of
his brother burglars. 1t is report
ed that Anderson has vowed to
squeal on his confederates in crime,
if they don't give him something.
The Democratic party the par
W of the people-having elected
Samuel j. Tilden president of the
United States by majority of the
popular vote and majority of the
electoral vote, will certainly STE that
neither fraud nor violence shall re-
tard the Inauguration of the man OF :
their choice.
Kellogg made the significant ad (
mission in his message that as long
rs ''Republicanism'' has foothold
in a Southern State political tur- ,,
moil will continue" The political a
gutter-rake is right. As soon as c
-Republicanism ii. e., robbery-is {
properly punished and driven to the
penitentiary, where it belongs, Lou 5
isiana will be as peaceful and pros .
porous as any State in the Union.
In New York, New Jersey, Pen /.
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
Tilden received 20S,106 more votes
than Grant received in the same ,
States in 1872, and 1000 more
votes than Hayes. These States
contain nearly half the voters, and :,
more than one third the population :
of the Union. Experiment, after !.
the Portirio Diaz fashion, in these >
States, if YOU dare Mr.. Grant.
