Ben Butler is a renegade-a sort of

paid him to be and now that he sees that
party's power waning, he suddenly be-
comes convert to Democracy and asks
the suffrages of the party which he has
abused for lifetime No Democrat in
Massachusetts, or elsewhere can afford to

The Thieves and Thugs.
nllinois state Register.)


During all of the last winter the repub-
lican papers were insisting that the law
which authorized the commander-in-chief
OF tho army to take possession of the polls
by force, and the law which authorized
the appointment of deputy United States
marshals and federal supervisors to con-
troll the registration of voters. the casting
of votes. the counting of ballots and the
making up of returns, were the only safe
guards for fair and free election" This
ridiculous assertion. which involved the
proposition that the people of this country
are not capable of self-government. and
ought not to be trusted with the ballot,
has just now been temporarily abandoned,
and all the postoffice editors, the collectors
and gRugers. the custom house republican
and the whisky ringsters, are howllDg
with delight because the custom house re-
publicans of New York, in combination
with Tammany Hal, have secured portion
of the election inspectors of New York
city. This is what the New Y ork Tribune,
founded by Horace Greeley" and foun-
dered By Jay Gould says:
Now that the appointment OF inspec-
tors of elections is finished, it is safe to say
that Lucius Robinson will not De reelected
governor.
II is right that the real meaning of the
stubborn fight here should be understood
by republicans and by all honest citizens,
in other parts of the state. 1t has been a
fight for an honest election"
So it appears that the Republicans of
New York, by their own confession, rely
upon state law to secure what they call
Ean honest election" which is to say, an
election controlled in whole or il part by
the thieves of the New York custom house
and the thugs of TammanY.

California,

The latest returns from California, show
that the Republicans are in minority In
the legislature on joint ballot, and that
Berry a Democrat is elected to congress,
while another district. at present claimed
by the Republicans is alleged to have been
carried by fraud, and will be contested
by the Democratic candidate. It is also
charged that at one precinct, upwards of
forty deputy marshals were employed TO
keep the peace at the polls insure
fair count -and that the most flaRrant
frauds were committed in the interest of
the Republican party, while Democrats
were arrested by scores upon the fimsiest
pretext, and placed under arrest until too
late to vote. and then released for want of
any tenable charge on which to hold them.
These tactics were resorted to 10 New

Their Real Intentions.

What the stalwarts want,and what they
will have if permitted to hold the reins of
power, is an army of subsidized political
bummers labelled deputy marshals, to
arrest Democrats on trumped up charges,
and thereby lessen the opposition vote.
They want more than this. too. they
would have bayonet rule at the polls;
none but partisan judges OF elections;
partisan judiciary TO decide all political
questions il the interest of the Republican
party, and fnally-they want centraliza-
ton. The Republican party depends on
fraud for its existence, is built on fraud,
breaches fraudulent doctrines and holds
it's position through fraud. Its president
is fraud, who holds his seat through
periured scoundrels in the pay of the Re-
publican party, and only by repetition of
the tactics of 1876 can they hope to sue
oeed in $780, The Republican party has run
with high hand, 1t has had almost un-
limited control IN national affairs. Hun
dreds and thousands of Republicans
who were once hungry, POVERTY
stricken vultures, have become rich on
public plumber. The managers have as
sumed dictatorial manners and imperial
habits, until, injured to life OF unchecked
extrayaeance and luxury at public ex-
pense, they cling tenaciously to the posi-
tons they have prostituted. With all
the arrogant assurance of hardened crimi-
mails they cheekily appeal to the generous
public, whose confidence they have abused
and ask for a continuance of power. The
utter rottenness of their claims; the perfidy
they have shown; the manifold corrup-
ruptions, and high handed subversion of
trusts imposed, has set the people to
thinking, and as the result of the reflection
by the people. will come the overthrow OF
the Republican party-the most corrupt
that ever disgraced the American repub-
lie. Over the grave of the stalwart party
no tender epigraph will be written-no
tears be shed-it will be buried beyond
resurrection-forgott
Its record, however, will live in the
memory of the people, and future genera
tons will point to the infamy of the Re-
publican party-as an example of unpar-
aleled corruption-the most damnable in
the history of political parties. A record
which all true men will shun to initiate
and none be hardy enough to approve. 1t
will be the one. great dark blot in Ameri-
can history.
