IT'S ~ Il
There Is something very ludicrous 10 the
demands OF the Republican leaders for the
reelection of Grant with strong gov
fernnaent' In 1880 as 4 protection for soci-
iety against the Communism which they
affect to be SO much alarmed at. When
did Republicans become the champion Of
social order and property rights? It 10
true 1t did what it couId-which was a
great dcaltoos mnch--tos build up in the
North and East an aristocracy of wealth to
take the place in politics of the overthrow
| slave holding oligarchy of the South; and
great part OF it's legislation has been
marked by fragrant favoritism to this
wealth power; but while it was doing this
in one section, it was pursuing very diff
ferent policy IN another section. Repub-
licanism in theSouthern states was Com
munlsm OF the eoarsest and most desolat-
ing type, Reconstruction was little else
than an experiment at the very reorgani-
cation of society which the Intransiguentes
of Spain, the Internationalists of France
and the Socialists OF Germany proclaim as
the ultimate object of their schemes. Il

the ex-slave the master Of his ex-master-
filing the Southern state-houses with
herds of illiterate negroes and white
| tramps. and calling them legislatures
maintaining in those states orgies OF con-
| fiscation, bribery and robbery, and calling
them loyal governments" All this was
done with the aid of the United
States army, and President Grant
as commander-in-ehief. The painful
writings of Southern society at this un-
endurable perversion were greeted with
derisive mockery throughout the Repub-
lican camp. 1t was esteemed an infinite
jest to have an ex-slave in"Jeff Davis
seat in the senate" and sign of the mil

coming into general use. While it is more eco

have found it vastly more efficient, and not only
an antiseptic and anti-acid upon the stomach, but

The National Party.

People hardly know yet what this is.
An fact the Nationals have probably
no very definite idea themselves
of what they are. And here we must not
be understood as referring to the INA
tionap organizations in this city. Under
the conservative leadership of Judge Cal
lom, it has produced an excellent platform.
Though not endorsing every one of its pro-
positions, we should be heartily glad to
see its -partisaus elect their candidates, if
they could be relied on to carry out it's
principles. But of the Nationals at large
we cannot speak go unreservedIy. They
seem to consist principally of "outs" who
are determined to be "ins, that is, so far as
leaders are concerned, and, as regard the
bone aud sinew, ofdiscontented men gener-
ally. Now men have some good reasons
tamong many bad ones) for being discon-
tented and, therefore, we may expect to find
some raiSon d'etTe to the National. Party.
Its nonsense comes fret, however, and
is manifold. TIE principle element of the
foolish kind seems to be sort of COM
munism, or universal ownership in the
government. They want the government
to give it's notes and call them money
without regard to redemption and without
regard to universal laws Of supply and
demand. That is, the government itself
shall be the judge as to how much circu-
latiog medium is needed by the people,
