tolook at the general result, and see
whether that is good goverlmentand
prosperity or the reverse. Now, GER
.tainiy no one viii deny that this
country has for the past FIVE years
suffered as no other country ever did
suffer, from depression in every
branch Of business. in every indus.
trial occupation, The entire body OF
the producing classes-employers,
employees and middle-men-have
been affected. Bankruptcies are
numbered By tens if not by hundreds
of thousands, and the aggregate OF
losses almost defies computation. The
number of laborefs thrown out Of
employment or reduced to half time
and diminished wages has been esti-
mated by millions, and however ex'
aggerated the estimate may be, the
extent of the evil has no parallel in
the history of this if indeed 1t has IN
the history Of any people. Startling
is the fact, and at first view almost
incomprehensible, that in a country
whose population averages eleven
persons to thesquare mile there have
been, and there yet are, thousands
destitute for bread. A single inter
est-the moneyed interest-has flour
ished and yet flourishes, and that, it
is to be remembered, is precisely that
interest that has received the foster
ing care of Republican legislation
Now, my friends, so far as this de-
plorable state of things is the result
Of vicious legislation or of the omis-
sion ofwise legislation, the Republic
can party, or ut least those who have
controlled it, are responsible. From
the 4th day of March, 1861, to the
first Monday in December, 1879, more
that fourteen years, that party had
uncontrolled power in every Depart
mens Of the Federal Government,
and since then it has continued to
hold the Senate and the Presidency,
and to have the consequent power TO
negative any mcasureof reliefa Dem
ocratic House of Representatives,
might propose.
Is there, then, any injustice in call
ing that party to account for the ev.
lis the country has suffered and yet
suffers? Can it with truth be said
that these evils could not be forseen,
or il foreseen, could not have been
avoided or diminished? He would
be bold man who would make the
assertion. For, although no govern
ment ever was, or ever will be, ON
niscient and omnipotent, although
disasters have happened that no rul-
ers, however wise, could have fore
seen or averted; yet the disasters of
which am speaking are not Of that
character, and might have been fore
seen, and to a great extent, prevent.
ed. 1t is is but Justice, then, to say
to our Republican rulers, you have
had every opportunity to do good and
avert evil, and you have failed to do
either. You have had opportunities
such as no other party ever enjoyed
to benefit your country, and you have
by want Of intelligence or virtue, or
both, brought it to the verge of ruin.
1t is time, high time, that you sur
render the reins of Government.

Editor Register Among the first
secession speeches made in this part
of the country, previous to the rebel.
lion, were made by R. S. Brown, the
independent candidate for the State
Senate in this District, His faith,
however, in secession vacated its seat
in his consistent @ bosom, with the
retreat of Gen. Wise from the Kama
wha Valley, and before the confede.
rate camp-fres had died out, he was
vehmently espousing the doctrine Of
abolitionists. He remained an abo-
litionist a long time (Y); in fact, un'
til the Federal army, was in turn,
driven out of the Valley and posses
sion re.taken by the Confederates;
then it was that Robert considered
the chances of the war greatly in fa-
vor Of the South, and that in conse-
quence thereof, a splendid opportu-
nifty was offered him to become po'
litical hero In the cause, Of what he
deemed a much abused and injured
people, But the Judge did not guess
we'll. The possession of the Kama
wha Valley by the Confederates, was
of but short duration, at the termi-
nation of which we find Brown
counting the favors of the other side,
with renewed declarations of alleg-
lance to the cause of abolitionism
and the Union. So tickle, was he,
in politics, that the advantages lost
and gained by the two eontending
armies In the Valley, furnished the
only but, q true index to the posi-.
ton he occupied. "Time at last"
brought the cruel war toa close, and
with it the Union preserved; and OF
course Brown took a position in the
ranks of the Radical party as one Of
her veterans, and during the darkest
of the dark history Of that party, f.e.
during the life of test oaths in this
State, Robert was a Radical; but in
the course of time humanity assert
ed itself in the form of what was
known as the "Let-up" Republicans
associated with the Democrats and
Conservatives, and as q result, the
ex-confederate was enfranchised, and
the State has since been Democratic
by a large majority. No sooner was
the ascendency of the Democratic
party assured, than Judge Brown
picked up his canes and journeyed
to tho Temple of Democracy and
rang the door-bell for admittance,
but as a reward for his unparalleled
dcmagOguery and political treachery,
he was told tc depart. AT present,
as result of the Republican money
policy, we have an independent ell.
ement of some strength, known as
the Workingmen's party, and while
It is well known that they have made
tn R R9 Ffff WITHIN e h s
fold, and also, that one Of their OBJ
jects Of organization is to avoid com
munion with, and the influence Of
demagogues, Judge Brown persists in
thrusting himself forward as '"the
very man they are lookingfor!" The
broken reed of ten thousand political
changes, and a multitude of defeats,
has the mulish brass to expect sup
port from a party whose greatest OBJ
ject is to get rid of "his kind" Of
course he expects some support from
the Democrats, but speaking for Ma,
son county, we feel safe in saying he
will not get any. W.

could count on those States us fixed
capital. Mrs. jerks published the
truth when she said the principle
which controlled her associates was
"thc end justiiies the means" With
corrupt Returning Boards, backed by
Federal bayonets, the means we're
constantly on hand. The fact that
there is not enough of IL Republican

fcent evidence that she was correct.
1t is also strongly confirmed by Eos.
ters' detertion of the Presidents
policy. Unfortunate for the country
as the loss of Tildcn has been, and
wicked as was the conspiracy which
resulted in the Inauguration Of
Hayes, it is some comfort to know
that the fraudulent system which
continued so long and so effectively to
the advantage of the Republican
party has been destroyed by its own
instruments. The remnant of car
pct.baggcrs still resident in South
Carolina which not only refused to
endorse Hayes, butsevercly denounc,
ed him, has demonstrated quite as
clearly the foundation on which Re.
publican rule has rested for success.
The certainty Of such a united South
for the Democratic candidate seems
now assured beyond qucstson. The
Republicans confess as much BY their
parrot like defamation against the
danger apprehcnded fromit. This,

ImOCratic party as IT is fearful for it's

There is no possible chance for a
different result unless it is thrown
away by such divisions as shall de-
Stroy the efficiency of our National
organization. The danger lies alone
in that direction. Nor is it altogeth-
er so remote as could be desired
There is disposition on the part Of
some who are prominent in the Dem
ocratic party to array the West
against the East and to prescribe a.
new new text Of fcalty which, if in
sisted on, will create divisions and,
to some extext, threaten defeat
Such men are not safe counsellors,
