The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-12-06

The Cincinnati Enquirer: With In
diana naturally comes the name Of Thorn
as A. Hendricks. He is one of the victims
of the great fraud He is entitled to
vindication in a larger degree even than
Tilden, because he made greater sacrl-
fee than Tilden did. Though one OF the
most prominent candidates for the presl-
Dental nomination in 1876, he consented
to take second place on the ticket to save
Indiana. And he did save it. He laid him
self on the alter of his party, and was
then cheated out of the poor recompense
which he earned by his patriotism and
gallantry. He is Western man. and
meets the requirements of that 'long-felt
want, Western candidate. He is not a
man who has been extremeaor fanatical in
the advocacy of any particular party faith.
His cool judgment has prevented him from
wandering far from the fence which di-
vides the new from the old platforms, No
Democrat is in better position to assimi-
late himself to whatever amendments may
be made of the Democratic declaration of
brains dignity, and craftsmanship; and,
more than sll else, perhaps, he is man
whose influence as nations candidate
will hold an important state In Democratic
line, as it was held by him in 1876.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-12-06
The New York Tribune says of the re-
mn bIican Iaadars.

The New York Tribune says of the re-
publican leaders:
They mean that every rightful voter
shall be treex to vote, that the votes shall
0e fairly counted, and that the man who
has been elected shall have the office.
They will not submit to terrorism at the
polls. They will not pardon the use of
Copenhagen" or "best United States
documents" to purchase canvassing boards.
And they will not agree that candidates
who have been honestly returned shall
afterwards be expelled from their places
By partisan majority under the form of a
contest"
If they mean this now, they have chang
ed their tactics very recently, 1t il but a
short time since they were big with a
scheme 10 disfranchise the white people of
the south and the negroes also who failed
TO vote the republican ticket. They did
not, 10 1876, want the votes fairly counted
nor did they want the man who was elect
ed tos have the Office. They insist that
the voters at the polls shall be terroriZed
by soldiers at the will of the president and
by special deputy marshals empowered to
arrest voters without affidavit or warrant,
and they have not only pardoned but
defended the purchase of returning boards
and the payment therefor with official pos
ton. 1t is too late in the day fer the
republican leaders to attempt to go back
on their records and to claim Ethat they
want honest and fair elections, or
that they are willing that people
should conduct their own cleo
tons. On this point we invite the atten-
ton OF the Tribune to the fact, that
whether the elections are matters of state
or national concern, such elections are
equally the elections of the people. and
that the right of the people to conduct
them by their own officers was never dis
puted in this country, and hardly debated.
until The passage OF the federal election
laws since the close of the war and the re-
construction of the southern states. That
the people shall conduct their own cleo
:iOns is a Fundamental! principle of all re-
publican government. precisely as the
drawing OF jurors from the whole body Of
the Ylclnage is fundamental principle !
Neither in the construction of juries, or
the conduct of elections, can the interior
encc OF any officer of the state or federal
government be tolerated with safety.
The threat that the republican leaders |
will not submit to the action of the house |
or senate in contested election cases, is |
either senseless braggadocia or the evil |
dence of a new treason. The constitution |
provides that each house of congress shall !
be the exclusive judge of the election and |
qualification of it's members, and to this
provision the republican conspirators will |
be obliged to submit by the exercise of |
Just such and so much force rs is requisite
TO that end. OF this let the entire horde |
d republican tricksters and conspirators
take due and timely notice.-IU State
