The Cleveland Plaindealer: "The peace
of the country win hang upon frail ten
ure so long as the Republican party existe.
NO people car forever stand insult and
indiRnlty. The pettiest countries rise
against the mightiest masters from sheer
desperation. In 1864 the little duchies of
Schleswig- Holstein grappIed with the two
great powers OF Prussia and Austria. The
Republican party believes that its main
strength lies in its ability to infame the
North against the South. 1t accepts the
result in Ohio as an Endorsement of the
bloody shirt. and no doubt the campaign
of 1880 will be colored by the same policy.
Every Republican paper is filed with the
same sentiments that were employed to
enthuse the excited public early in the
war. and with all manner of brutal refiec
tions upon the South. The latter natur-
ally resents the affront, and the act is
accepted as full justification of the attitude
OF the Republican party. There will be
no peace until the latter is overthrowu.
None but a national party can rule this
country. The presence of sectional
party In possession of the Government is
an anomaly too gross to endure. The
Democracy existed SO long as the domi-
uant party because it was. and is, in the
best sense of the word, national party.
1t will be returned to power, sooner or
later, or there will be an earthquake. The
Republican party is sowing the whirlwind" :"
