rs 1T CRIME TO BE SOLID AGAINST THE REPUB-

PARTY.
it Ia crime to be solid against any mere polit
ical parties. or that allegiance to one party or
another is a test of good citizenship, or loyalty
to the government.
Yet this is the claim of the Republican party
Mosby and Longstreet, with their
garments still red with blood,
are ut to sit around the family table and to
hold officea of trust and responsibility in for
eign courts-simply because they are Republi-
cans-while the entire South, half of whom
never were rebels, are to be reprobated and
treated as enemies not to be trusted because
they are not Republicans.
If it really be true as claimed that this coun-
try 10 not safe under the rule of the Dem
cratic party the republic is lost and Re-
publican government a failure, because the
Democratic party has popular majority of
over SOC, 600 votes according to the last Presi-
Dental election-so largely increased since as
to give them both the House and Senate. The
argument then amounts to this: that it is not
safe to trust the government of the Uuited
States in the hands of the people of the United
States. They are unfit for self government
and require that minority called the Repub-
lican party shall govern them.
This is the argument Of tyrants and despotic
governments the world over.
Again, if it be true, the South is solid and
therefore not fit to be in the Union and in the
government reconstruction is failure, and
the Republican party which has had the paci-
dcation of the South before them for sixteen
years, has failed and the knotty problem had
better be consigned to other hands, which like
Hancock's have shown their capacity to paoify
and tranquilize the South.
Wherever and SO long as the Republican par
ty authority continued in the Southern States
SO long the conflict of races continued.
1t has been truthfully said that if all that
Phillips has detained or Whittier sung against
the horrors of slavery be admitted, the negro
race under the Encouragement of reconstruc.
ton suffered century of such bondage con-
densed into less than score of years. Tired
neither mill stone of such conflict, deceived
by promises which we're never fulfilled mules
bureaus and forty acres of land" and betrayed
by their new found friends. the carpet baggers
who left trail of ruin and robbery behind
them. and stole q quarter of a mil
lion OF dollars in bonds, it was
natural that these twice enslaved
people should turn in disgust from such
friends and look to their old neighbors, and
even their old masters, whose interests were
identical with their own.
1t was natural that they should vote also
with their own people on whom they depended
for employment even with less bulldozing than
toSies at the North, or should quit olitics and
attend to business. That they have done this
very thing is evidenced by the disappearance
of the Republican maiorities of those cotton
States, aud by the magnificent cotton crop of
| six million two hundred thousand bales raised
by their willing hands. Chagrined at the loss
or the negro vote which has gone from them
forever, it is very natural for the Republican
party to gnaw file and gnash their teeth at
| the South for being solid, and attribute the
change to sNot guns and bulldozing or any,
thing else except the real cause. which was
their failure to meet the wants of those people
either black or white. That there NAV have
been even shotguns used, and violence at times
and in some places may be admitted, but these
conflicts have always occurred under Republic
can management and never where the
Democrats were in power.
| THE pEMooRAY SAVED THE UNION AND PUT DOWN
THE REBELLION.
The remarkable claim is set up that the Re.
publican party put down the rebellion and
| saved the Union. This is SO preposterous that
the simple figures of the army roll and the Be
publican vote stamp it as lie. There were
over 6OO. 600 men in the army and there were
only 800, 900 Republican voters in the land
including old men over %, $500 exempts, and
the hudreds of thousands who stayed at home
to attend to the workshops, and farms, and
stores, and to take care of their families. The
real facts are that they did the quarrelling and
got up the row and left the Democrats to do
| the fighting. Except for the Democrats, who
furnished probably over two. thirds of the SOL
diers, the tight would have been short one,
and the triumph of the Cenfederacy an easy
one. They not only did not save the Union.
but except for them, it would not have need.
ed saving. They not only did not save the
Union, but protracted the war for two years
rathor than see it saved under Mcclellan, and
allow Democrat to be President.
They were not even willing for union when
the war hao ceased, but postponed it for years,
in order to compel the Southern States to be
Republican in politics by military law and
despotic subjugation. They not only did not
s Sst the an,sd Union but I'D have not
will and never desire to unless it is coupled
with the condition of perpetual power for their
party.
WHO MADE THE HARD TIMES AND WHO RESTORED
PROSPERITY.
Their claim that they saved the Union is like
their claim that they have brought the good
times and prosperity of the country.
1t was owing to their mismanagement and
eXtr6VagauG reCkIeHsuesa and inCOrn ofopo nm
that the crisis of 1873 was brought about.
They are responsible for the seven long
years of hardship and poverty, which have COW
cred the land with bankruptcy. They are like
the celebrated doctor who boosted of bis heal
ing powers, but always claimed that he could
never cure until he had first
thrown his patient into fits. The
times have been healing and getting
better, by the natural processes, for five
years, aided by the blessings of Almighty God,
and the wise counsels of a Democratic Con.
gress which has shaped the legislation of the
country for nearly five years.
A change is not SO much what we want now
as to complete and solidify the good work
which Democratic Congress has commenced
by electing Gen. Hancock President, to sustain
and aid Democratic Congress.
The restoration of the Union, the pacifcation
of the South, the continued retrenchment of
extravaganza and recklesness are the condi-
tons of continued prosperity, and these will
come and only come under auspices different
from those which have so far ended in continu-
GUS failure,
