Already the man Hayes is satisfied that
his recommendation on finance was "a
grave mistake-and the stalwart leaders
are Fastening to the rescue to cover up. Il
possible, the blunder, before the people
fully understand its import. As the hrst
step in this direction Price, of Iowa, N
the House, and ingalls, and Carpenter In
the Senate, have introduced resolutions in
antagonism to the veto mans wishes. This
is mere buncombe, for if these same leaders
dared express their real wishes and voice
their honest intentions, they would fall In
line with Hayes and Sherman and join in
the cry of greenback cancellation. The
Republican party. however. will be COM
PEELED to stand on its record as the advo-
cate of contraction policy dangerous to
the business interests of the country, and
as the champions Of silver characterization.
Hayes is the head aud front of the Repub-
lican party, and the party win have TO car
ry his views as party doctrine whether
they desire it or not.

Last fall Hon. Hiram Price. of the
Davenport district, was an ultra hard
money advocate, and in his campaign
speeches talked loudly of what he in COM
mon with other stalwarts called honest
money. The idea of greenback being
worthy the name of money was secuted as
simply ridiculous. Now. however, when
he sees an opportunity to get little cheap
popularity, he is ready to flop. 1t is just
such politicians as Price who are always
ready to fall in with public opinion and so
ride the political horse, regardless OF their
previous record. He is no more in favor
of grsenbacks to-day than he was in 1878,
and the very policy he now upholds, he
openly opposed when running against
Judge Brannen for congress. Hiram
Price is q political hypocrite. and is con-
sistent in nothing political except his rank
stalwartism and partisan bigotry.

chieftain Grant, have abstained carefully
from any allusion to the election OF next

The Turner'S Zeituug says: 1t can be
expected that che Turner'S are possessed of
sufficient manliness and Republican senti-
ments to keep away from demonstration,
which externally eliminates Ia disgust
ing personal cultus, whilst its real aim is
the next Presidential election and to cre-
ate sufficient sentiment that Grant, as the
representative of "A strong government
is called upon to act the part of a Messiah
for this country" - III
THAT Messiah could very likely bring
Us the monarchy"
Has Grant improved since he. the pro-
tector of corruption and the useful instru-
ment of power seeking party clique, mas
been compelled to step down from the
presidential chair?'
HAS he gained in the eyes of Repub
lican people in Importance and inner value

country merely because the bear showmen

The above excerpts indicate the senti
ment of the German press of the country
and its readers in reference to the strong
man for the presidency. Republican
politicians who have been boasting thai
they have the German vote in their pook
cts, maybe have been reckoning without

His Ronderous Cheek,
New York Sun

It required more than ordinary cheek
for Hayes to revamp his old common
places about civil service sreform for use
in his so-called message, after the exhibi.
ton he and his next friends have been
m aking of themselves in the fall canvass
The members of his so-callad cabinet have
barely had time to get back 10 Washington
from their stamping tours. Two of them,
it may be rememb ered. spoke in this state
in behalf of man whom Hayes had turn
ed out of Office upon the preteXt that he
was not sound on civil service reform. aud
they brought with them a message from
Hayes himself, urging Repu biicans to rally
around the man in question. Yet here is
Mr.. Hayes, smiling and unabashed. as full
of virtuous sentiments as Sunday school
book, glibly reeling off the old discourse on
civil service reform as though nothing mad
happened.

The South and R.epublicanisna


Toe election in Louisiana is over, and
despite the statements in the stalwart
press that fair election was i'm possible
there is not single outrage reported
Further, the Geographic dispatches state
that the negroes voted the Democratic
ticket largely; that in certain parishes
which were counted in 1875 as giving &
majority o. 1900 for Hayes, this year
gives $4,000 for Wilt, Democratic candl-
date for governor. This ought to dis
prove the lying statements of the bloody
shirt howiers that fair election was i'm
possible in Louisiana. There is nothing
for the stalwarts to do but eat their words
or stand as self convicted liars. It cannot
be said that Republican speakers were not
allowed to address meetings for this is un-
true. Il special Invitation was sent to
Blaine, Sherman, Garfield and nearly all
toe prominent Republican leaders to come
to Louisiana and preach Republican doe
trines to the people. AS an additional in
cenIive the Republican state central com
mittee of Louisiana added an appeal to
leading Republicans of the country afford
ed ample opportunity to verify their
charges OF gross outrages by the southern
people. Did they go2 No, not one OF
OF them-aDd why? Simply because they
knew that the solid south" was neces-
saTy watchword to Republican national
success, and that once they made peace
tui electloneering tour of the south,
the bloody shirt" howl was for
ever killed. Having no desire
to lose the only campaign cry of the party
the staiwart leaders SUNK into their hoIes,
and now they will be judged accordingly.
They stand to-day in an unenviable light,
On the r0strum they have sounded the
changes on the solid south; have pictured
all sorts of dark and bloody ira Us actions as
ot4southern origin; have told the people
that they dare not go south to preach
Republican doctrine: that to do So would
be certain death. These and other equally
outrageous doctrines have been echoed
from every stump 10 the North, until the
feeling Of hatred became so bitter that
SoutHSiD people, IN northern MINDS, were
as savages
Now, when the hand OF fellowship is
extended to these s;alwart Republicans.
and an invitation is extended 10 come aud
say whatever they please for their party,
and accompanying the invitation gcaren
tee given that full protection will be ac-
corded, they decline. Hereafter let the
highly colored statements of southern
outrages cease. Let not Blaine, or Conk-
ling,or Sherman.o or any of the bloody shirt
orators tell the people that liberty of
speech is not accorded Republicans. After
their refusal to accept the cordial invitation
OF the southern Democrats, and even of
their own party managers, the people will
rightly conclude that the cry of the solid
south is an improvised cry born of Repub- |
llcan party necessity and used for political |
effect, without single atom of truthful |
foundation
