Il MANS Capitalization.

There can be no mistakinR the ultimate
purpose of the republican leaders to force
a Capitalization Of power and thus perpet-
uate republican rule-and iflparty schemes
cannot otherwise be enacted, then II will
be in order to dissolve the republic and
create monarchy, with Grant as emper-
or. There are any number of leaders in
the republican party who, having tasted
power and grown rich from official plumber
in the days of republican jobbery, would
delight to have handle to their name, to
add purchased prestige of greatness
which merit in free country would never
give. The cry Of revolution raised against
the democrats is side issue to divert
public attention from the real designs OF
republican party leaders. So corrupt has
the republican party become, and so
STEPPED in villiany are its leaders, that he
among the number who dares be conser-
vative is ruled out of the party as unsafe
70 trust. When the insolent fraud Hayes
who, by the aid of perjured scoundrels,
and by most gigantic. frauds occupies the
seat that riRhtfully belongs to another,
vetoed the marshaIs' bill, it was step too
far, The temporary praise from the stall
warts is being more than offset by the
voice of condemnation of the people
The great national issue raised,
by which democrats were to
DO charged with notification meets
no responsive endorsement from the
people. 1t is beginning to react, and now
the republicans. who, when the question
of national supremacy was raised, sup
posed the grand rallying cry had been
sounded, awaken to realization that their
closely laid plans are known Though the
superficial covering may have temporarily
deluded the people, the Interior designs OF
the Blaines, Logans. Chambers, and like
ilk, are uncovered, revealing deep laid
scheme of Capitalization. It is not that
the republicans love the marshals or their
deputies that causes the howl. 1t is not
that congress did not provide for this
class, for congress did pass the necessary
appropriation for this class. 1t is moi
this that causes the Rroans 10 the republi.
can camp, but il is because congress has
said very emphatically that the dirty
work, unwarranted intrusion at elections
aud bare faced frauds commmitted by re-
publican supervisors, shall not be paid fol
out of the national treasury. The demo
Gratis think it is sufficient if, by vicious
laws enacted by republican congress
criminals are allowed to escape punish
ment,-they do not propose, however, tC
place premium on crime by voting money
for the support of federal supervisor
whose only business is to watch the inter
ests of the republican party and arres
unoffending citizens for daring to vote tn
democratic ticket. In this emergency tn
cry of "a strong government" and ma
tiona supremacy" is raised which properl
uterpreted-means Capitalization an
death to the republic. The peopl
will not be deceived by glowing state
ments Of war deeds and sectional hatred
They want the truth and will have tan
there is not to-day in the republica
party a solitary leader who dare stat
facts as they really exist. To do so woul
expose the plan of Capitalization. Th
expose will come, however, aud with WhirI
wind velocity the people will sweep froI
existence the last vestige OF the repubIica
party. The democratic party is 10 accor
with the people, represents the psoplt
and as the champions of civil liberty,
free and untrammelled ballot aud liber,
financial policy, will win glorious victor
IN 1880, when the great contest occurs.
