the head who would describe the Re-
publicanS as the real Bourbons of the
present age. Nothing could be truer
than such a description. The suffer.
ings which the people have endured
under the Republican dynasty have
grown from bad to worse through all
the troubled years since Grant first
became President. In the year 1865
came the "Man on Horseback" then
u divorce between his administers
ton and the men of brains in the
Republican party, like Trumbull,
Davis, Greeley and Summer; next
the Money Kings were affected by
Gen. Grant which soon brought into
political existence an upstart aristoc-
racy OF wealth. When this class got
the upper hand at Washington,
cause and effect worked with acceler.
ated progress-speculation in stocks
began in the. Presidents House with
jim Fisk and brother-in-law Corbin
and Babcock taking a part as promi.
nent agents in the business; thieving

Senate and House; rascality every
where carrying a high head in the
ranks Of the Republican dynasty
Presently the clash came, and mill
ions of mechanics and laborers. mer.
chants and small dealers, artists and
artisans,-the whole industrial body
IN the United States were driven to
the wall. But the men who had pro-
duced the misery shut their ears to
the cry of distress that came up from
the country, and continued toriot in
llcentlousness and misrtile. What
cared they for the people while they
themselves were able to feast on the
fat OF the land, and were clad in pur.
pie and line linen?
The history of the times in Amer
lea under the Republican dynasty
has been but repetition of those
terrible days in France which pre-
ceded the revolution and eliminated
IN the Reign of Terror. Harrie.
Martlneau in her Society in AmGri.
ca" says in all her travels throughout
the Union she never saw but one beg.
gar and that he wore goldrimmed
spectacles. But that was forty odd
years ago, before the Bourbons or the
Republican dynasty had fastened
themselves on the country to impov-
crish its people and create an army
OF paupers numbering hundreds Of
thousands Of gaunt and furnished
tramps. The dreadful picture Of
want and despairing wrctchedness
in France under the Bourbons, which
Dickens draws in the "1aLc Of TCo
Cities" might, with some changes as
regards national characteristics, be
taken as an illustration of the hard
ships the people of the United States
have had enlailed upon them by the
Bourbons-o Of the Republican dynasty.
When sharp lessons were given,
and the Bourbons refused to learn III
France, the people with ten centu-
ries of despotism behind them had
no other resource but the barricades,
the Bastile and the guillotine. In
America, with free government and
liberty bequeathcd from sire to son,
the people can manage the Bourbons

In view of The history of Mr.. Hayes
administration, the manner of its
birth and the story Of its life; in view
OF The fact that his cabinet officers
and bureau officials have meddled
and intermcddled with local politics
all over the country; in view of the
many thousands collected from officers
of all grades for campaign purposes
which money has been paid by the
victims to avoid rcmoval-in view
OF all these conceded facts, what are
we to think Of the hypocrisy of Mr.
Hayes when he writes to Gen. Thos
Il. Young that "the interference Of
public officials with partisan politi
cal management ought to be stopped
and that the order on the subject be
cnforced!' We didn't suppose that
even Mr.. Hayes would venture tc

The Pittsburgh Post of Wednesday
contains the following paragraph,
which we copy for the benefit OF our
ncighbor Of the Monitor, who used to
pirate good deal about Democrats
drinking all the whiskey:
at has become quite favorite
method Of casting ridicule upon Dem

ers. Now the facts are that the ma
jority of men who make whiskey and
sell it, and the large majority of So
loon keepers and the men who pat
ronize them, are Republicans. The
majority of those in the Penitcntiary
and Work house are Republicans, and
the majority of those guilty of bribery
in the Legislature are Republicans;
yet it does not follow that the Repub.
lican party must be held responsible
for individual crimes any more than

No other prominent politician in
America has such reputation for
dishonesty and deviltry as J. G.

TO say, they know, or affect to know
nothing of the politics of De Young,
the would.be murderer of kullock, Of
San Francisco. Now, we believe,
that every Republican editor in this
State knows that De Young and Kal.

always been such. If they do not,
they are grossly ignorant of facts of
which they should befaniliar. Who
has not heard of the Chronicle, the
Radical sheet which has been in cir.
culation so long? The truth is, the
shooting.of Kallock was one of the
most cowardly acts known in the an.
mails OF crime. While the shooting
of Dixon was no more than might
have been expected. Dixon had
threatened to kill Birksdalo and had
the weapons wherewith to do it at
the time, and was only prevented
from doing SO by the timely shot Of
