fered in order to protect the criminal
against Justice. From this point of view
Mr.. Sherman shows that as member of
Mr.. Hayes's administration he has learned
nothing and forgotten nothing, and even
now represents Grantism, just as much as
he did, as senator and politician, up to his
entrance into the cabinet.
hr. Sherman maintains that Anderson
is victim of partisan hate and partisan
persecution, and innocent Of the crimes of
which he is accused. AS for the latter
point, we take leave to assure Mr.. Sher.
man that the enormous majority of the
American people is not only convinced Of
the guilt of Anderson, but also convinced
that Sherman knows this guilt better than
most other men; that the Returning
Board swindlers are an object of profound
hate and of just indignation, not only on
the part of the democrats of the whole
country, but on the part of all men who
are capable of an unprejudiced opinion
respecting the fraud in the presidential
election; and it would be bad if this were
not 30.
1t should also be understood that those
loafers are properly despised by the most of
the republicans, who thus seek to quiet their
consciences over the fraud; and there can
be no doubt that Mr.. Sherman despises
them also. But this gentleman has
thought proper to repress this feeling in
his own breast, and, instead, to throw
himself into the lists as champion of his
party comrades.
| We do not believe that Mr.. Sherman
will succeed in his effort to represent the
trial of the Returning Board swindlers as
a political persecution. Anderson and his
associates are accused Of a common felony
and the first of them has been found
guilty. If Anderson and his associates
have committed this crime for party ends
it is none the less the same crime; indeed
one that it would not be too much to say
that the base and shameful party enc
stamps the Legitimate means as still more
terminal, Where great political objects
are striven for it may sometimes happen
in pressure of circumstances that exist
ling laws are evaded; but the ordinary
political offender will never 60 SO far as t
falsify the vote of the people, because he
is perfectly aware that the hagrancy of the
means would destroy the great ends ht
has in view. 1t is folly to place Anderson
and his associates in the same line with
ordinary political offenders. who, in ordel
to attain ordinary political objects, in thu
Excitement of elections go beyond the
limits of the law. In this respec

the miserable, weak head which he has
