FRIDAY, JUNE "a, 1878
Uniting the Party.

"Fhn Democratic investigating res :
"olutions, says the Prairie du Chen
Union, shave accomplished some good.
"fhey have united the Republican
"party and they have put the Demo-
"cratic party on trial" IL il true
Tat The resolutions have united the
X .publican leaders in their endeayors
TO prevent an investigation of the
frauds which placed them IN power.
Tho success OF the Republican party
ID largely due to the craftiness Of its
leaders in silencing the murmurings
OF those within the party who every
now and then see III to find fault with
measures which do not coincide with
their ideas Of right and justice. In
the campaign of 1876, the old cry of
rebel SyInpatiizers was raised against
Democrats; the "bloody shirt was
unfurlcd To the breeze, and every Re-
publican speaker dwelt long and earn
esLiy upon tho danger with which the
country was threatened Should the
Democrats come into power and
ca Try out their policy Of Cancellation
between the North and the South.
They said that the North would pay
tle rebel debt and that every Southern
claim presented IN Congress would be
allowed. The gospel Of hate was
preached over again. The cry united
Republican,, but did not quite secure
victory. The party was placed in
power through fraud. Hayes adopted
the Democratic policy-or rather stole
1t; but he must not be opposed, be-
cause opposition to him would divide
the party. The issue upon which
Hayes, through fraud, was made Pres
ident must DO forgotten. An issue
must DO found to unite the party, and
The issue say republicans, has been
furnished by Democrats who seek for
III investigation Of the manner by
which the States of louisiana and
Florida were counted for Hayes
We will choose some word of hidden
meaning by which to designate our
opponents. They must be called Mex
icanizcrs and represented us disturb
Grs of the peace Of the nation. Tho
danger Of the overthrow Of the Repub-
ljchn party must be deemed sufficient
cause to forget all differences among
ourselves. "rho Republican diSsen-
"Sions arc not probably healed, but
"they are silenced,' The carry ing out
Of the principles which were SO loudly
denounced in the last campaign, al
though cardinal principles OF the
Democratic faith, must now be sane
toned in order To unite the party. In
other words principles must be sur
rendered III order to gain victory ana
secure the spoils. 1t isn't hard to
unto Republicans on this point.

disturbing tho Peace of tho
Country,

Republicans are very much afraid
that the peace and harmony of the
country Will he disturbed. because
the Democratic party persist i'll in
vcstigaimg the electoral frauds of
1915. The Green County Reformer
tells the following story, which Illus
tratcs well why the old deacon was 50
much opposed to m investigation.
But tie Republican party has never
been guilty Of amy irregularities and
Of course II can't be opposed to inyes-
tigation for similar reasons:
At II certain time an old deacon who
had the reputation III his own opinion
that he was y very correct christian
gentleman, had in the employ OF his
family y very pretty maid, who camc
near turning the head el the Old dca-
con. The old lady became little
Jealous and concluded to watch things
and investigate little. So one day
the maid went into the cellar Nv an
insi le door, the old lady following at Il
convenient distance. The old deacon
slipped around the house ami went
into the collar through IN outside
door. The maid ana the old deacon
met, and such i kissing aud hugging
and love making lis Went Oh iii that
cellar was never before Witnessed by
the good old lady who Wa standing
in the stairway peeping into the eel
lar. After the love making had sui
sided the old leaeon startc, up stairs
and met his wife face 10 face on the

A Republican Opinion.

The following is from the New
York Times, one Of the leading, if
not the leading republican journal Of
the country;
II is not the duty Of the republican
party to identify itself with every
man who may he put upon the defen-
siye by the proceedings Of the Potter
investigation. : = Anderson's
credibility as u witnes is easily demol-
ishcd. The testimony that rests upon
his word must be corroborated before
it Gun be accepted rs having any real
value. But the documents he supplies
can not be disproved or explained
away by showing from lis own mouth
that he is a liar, actuated from first to
last by base motives. Mr.. Sherman's
authorship Of the letter attributed to
him is not disproved by the revelation
or Anderson's guilt. Mr.. Shcrman's
equivocati0n, with the document in
his hand, contrasts so painfully with
his positive declarations to newspaper
correspondents and his valiant chal-
lenge to the committee, that he must
now establish the falsity Of the paper
or submit to the unfa V0rable interpret
alton which the circumstances sug-
gests. Mr.. Stanley Matthews position
is worse. Tho more clearly Amber
son il proved to be u scoundrel, the
more the Ohio Senator is damaged by
the confidential relations that are ex-
emplified in his letters. The Nash
agreement, infamous on its face, was
in Mr.. Matthews possession. Other
things growing out of intercourse
with Anderson must have familiar
lied him with that mans true charac-
ter. Yet Mr.. Matthews introduced
him to Mr. Harlan us worthy of con-
lidcncc, recognized his claim TO sub
stantial reward, and eXerted himself
strenuously, again and again, during u
period extending over months, to sat
isfy Andelson's demand. The offer
Of the Funchal consulate was the
product OF Mr.. Matthews influence
with the president or Mr.. Evarts, or
with both. We arc not required to
believe one sentence that Anderson
has uttered to form {. Judgment us to
the part played by Mr., Matthews.
Unless he can provo that these docu
ments are forgerics, protcstations in
his behalf will be vain. The attempt
To explain them away is an insult to
common sense. Ana the public, while
branding Anderson us he deserves to
be, will not suffer legal quibbling to
change the Judgment in regard to Mr..
Matthews for which his letters fur
nish ample foundation.

A correspondents of the Chicago
Times writing from Madison says
the coming political contest for MEM
berS of Congress, state senators and
assemblymen, promises to be a bitter.
one. He says that there is more Of
the old fierce, uncompromising rad
ical republican sentiment in the State
than there has been for years. 1t is
undeniable that that there is very
large and effective Grant element
in the Republican party in Wisconsin.
Hayes has literally no friends. A few
of the goody kind Of Republicans pre-
tend to sympathize with his good in
tentions, his civil-servicc reform hum
bugs, his Cancellation theories, and
his Sunday morning hymns. But they
are mostly men who were liberals in
1872 and have no part or lot in the
active management Of the party. They
cannot get delegate to u State con-
vention, nor secure the nomination Of
a single candidate for office. But the
real working Republican politicians,
those who make candidates, and rule
the party do not like Hayes or any Of
his ways.
