Three Ep0chs.

In the history of the Democratic par
ty there have been two eras in which
the bold and vigorous assertion of its
distinctive principles has been the sal
walton of democratic republicanism in
this country. Those two epochs are
the proudest in our National annals.
No patriotic American can recall the
names of jefferson and jackson, and
the events oftheir Administrations with
out a glow of honest pride. And no
American who is not at heart mon
archist, who is not in favor of such
Capitalization as invariably tends to the
one-man power, fails to pay the tribute
of sincere respect to those ilustrious
Democrats and the great works which
they and their influence wrought.
Hated as they were in their times.
visited with umstinted abuse, deluged
with calumny to an extent unknown in
the latter half of this century, they
have nevertheless taken their rightful
places in history and in the respect OF
their countrymen, No man now ques-
tons their ability, their integrity, their

control and discipline of Federal laws

control and discipline of Federal laws
and Federal officials, and of bringing
such elections under the direct and
complete control of the Federal power.
These sections were used for this pur-
pose from the year 1870 to the year
1875 with signal success. A Republic
gress looked on and resisted any change
in the system thus created, and subor-
dinate Federal Courts and officers aided
diligently in upholding and executing
the obnoxious provisions. In 1875 an
stitutionality of these Innovations. The
Supreme Court, Notwithstanding the
pronounced political opinions of the
Congress had no power to enact laws
officers. The conspiracy against the
rights of the people, which had been
safely managed for five years, came to
an end. The gross outrages committed
upon individual liberty under the color
of these provisions, and the graver
usurpation Of unconstitutional powers,
remain to be punished or atoned for.
The Republican party has shown no
sense OF the great wrong winch IL mas
done. 1t has left the Unconstitutional
provisions which it enacted standing
on the statute book as precedent for
other laws of the same character and
as a public menace. That unrepealed
act is full of instruction. Its underly-
ing principle is the true platform of
the Republican party. 1t is party
which desires the complete subOrdina-
of elections in the States to Federal
laws and Federal supervision. 1t is
party which hopes to reduce the States
to mere territorial subdivisions, adj
ministered by governments municipal
in their character and scope of pow
ers. 1t is party which aims at the
concentration of a National and SUI
preme sovereignty in the hands of Con-
gress, provided Congress is Repub-
Gcan. That these bloody instruc-
tions have not already returned to
plague the inventors. and that no
attempt has been made to put them to
that use, is proof that the knowledge
of the Constitution apd the respect for
it which may be looked for in vain in
the history of the Republican party may
be confidently expected from the Dem
Ocratic party.-M y World

Republican Claims Examined.

The Republican Convention which
nominated General Garfield as its can
didate for President declared that it
was content with the record of its par
ty as defender of the Constitution of
the United States. General Garfield,
as its candidate and the expositor of its
creed, has, since his nomination, assert
ed the claim of his party upon the graft
tude of the people for its services to the
cause of Constitutional Government.
Let us test the validity of this claim.
Not to 60 too far back, begin with the
act of Congress of May 81, 1870, en-
titled IAN act to enforce the right of
citizens of the United States to vote in
the several States of this Union, and for
other purposes" It was a piece of Re-
publican legislation. When it was
enacted General Grant was President,
Schuyler Colfax was Vice. President
and James G. Blaine was Speaker of
the House. The whole machinery of
legislation was in the possession of the
Republican party. Peace had long
been restored, all the Constitutional
amendments had been adopted. and
give full effect to the Constitution az
Instead of performing this plain task,
the Republican party, anxious to Sc
cure its tenure of power, determined to
retain power by any legislation, enact
ed under the color OF these amend
ments. which might suffice to subordi-
nate the State Governments to it's polit-
ical control. The act of May 81, 1870,
was a continuance invented to accom-
plish this purpose.
The statute in question began by re-
peating the substance of the Fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, which had been shortly
before formally declared to have been
adopted. This prelude was plainly I'M
necessary for the purposes of the act.
1t was intended only to mask the
changes made in our system of Govern
ment by the sections which followed.
The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth
and seventh sections afforded the
means of subordinating elections held
in the States for State officers to the

POLITICAL ITEMS.

The Republicans who have jeercd
at Senator Davis for sitting on the
fence will doubtless regard his change
of posture as indefensible. But it
places him on solid ground, and in an
impregnable position. David Davis not

the country saying that i" in ninety-nine

If the Republicans pay him they have a
right to respectful treatment.

Some Republican papers continue
to make much ado over Hancock's lack
of civil record. They had better di-
rect their complaints to Garfeld's
superabundance of record. The trouble
with him is that he has entirely too
much record, and all the fine promises
for the future are vain beside the black
record of his past.-St. Louis Republi-

1t is not believed that the North

nothing; that was taken out of politics
four years ago. The Treasury is in
danger from .'loyal claims" and from
thieves whom the Republican party
dares not punish. The course of the
"Solid South during the Electoral
count shows that if the North is not
tired of bloodshed the South is. To
suppose Indiana or New York can be
imposed upon by the Republican press,
even by the independent" Republi-
can press, is to impeach their intelli-
gence and to cast slur on their public

Why the South Makes congressman of
Her Soldiers.

The list of Confederate Brigadiers,"
that is, of prominent Southern men
now in public life, but formerly more
or less prominent in the Confederacy
and its armies, is going the annual
rounds of the Republican press. This
prominence is taken for proof of some
thing devilish in the conduct of the
Southern people. But. as a matter of
fact, the Confederate Brigadiers"
were and are their ablest men, and,
Just like any other community, without
regard to the point of the compass,
they choose their ablest men to repre-
sent them. With tho exception Of
Postmaster-G General Maynard-the most
prominent Republicans from the South
ern States are Confederate Briga-
diers," Key, Longstreet and Mosby;
and the man from the South the Re-
publicans are most apt to compliment
for his fairness and moderation was
once the Vice-President of the Confed-
eracy. The reason is not hard to find.
The same talents and force of charac-
ter which made them prominent during
the days of the Confederacy keep them
so now. If the Republican party should,
by wisdom and moderation, ever sue
coed in dividing the .'Solid South" into
voluntary and spontaneous party divis-
ions, instead of into violent and facti-
tious ones as at present, the prominent
Republican leaders there would, if they
had not by that time died out, be Soon
federate Brigadiers." Otherwise. the
party would be led. as of yore, by its
-" scallawags."
That there is nothing wrong, per Sc,
in being Confederate Brigadier" Is
shown by the honor which the Republi-
cans pay to those of that obnoxious
brand who unite their fortunes with
that party. If the Confederate Briga-
der" simply as Brigadier, is an I'M
man, he must be untrust-
worthy, even though a Republican. II
he is not in himself obnoxious, then the
choice of him by the Southern people
has no other significance than an indi-
cation of his talent and influence as a
man. Hence. publishing lists of such
as are elected to Congress is not an
but an appeal to passion, and
an attempt to excite prejudice.
This is all the more evident, because
no effort is made to cite any proofs Of
the present disloyal conduct of the
&" Confederate Brigadiers." They have
voted all the Government supplies; they
have increased the loyal pension list;
they have admitted no "rebel claims;"
they have done what the loyal majority
failed to do-diminished the current ex-
penses of the Government.
So that the publication of the statis-
tics of the Confederate Brigadiers" Is
simply revival of the war spirit, an
appeal to war memories, an irritation
