THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81, 1879

AS apt illustrations Of the manner 10 which
modcro American politics arc conducted We
point to tho way in which two recent occur
rencos arc treated by tho majority of tho nows.
papers of the two chief political parties Of the
country. The debauchug of radicals wife
by another radical is seized upon by large
number Of the democratic journals as conc.u.
awe proof that the whole republican party is
impure. and therefore unfit to remnio 10 power
any longer; while the shooting Of former
democratic, bnt moro recent independent, bull
dtzer, ty one of his * associates, is adduced
by most all the radical press az the strongest
possible evidence Of the truth of their assertion
that the southern democrats arc intolerant and
bloOtthirsy murderers, and that as they furnish
the voters OF the democratic party. the count
ry will 60 to ruin il that party ever gains pos
sesElUn OF the government. There si remain
some CONSCIENTIOUS democrats, and doubtless
sens oil the same SOFT Of republic ns, but these
who manage the respective parties, who mako
the party leaders and have weight with them,
are iaifiy represented by the newspapers to
which We alludc.
