The Chicago Times speaks thus unspar-
iogly of the Republican party administra-
ton.
1T is notorious fact that never in the
history of the republic has the national
capital been as rotten in its morals as it
has during the rule of the Republican
party. The grossest scandals affecting
the reputation of men and women have
been in circulation; and what is the worst
of the thing is that. as a rule. they have
been we'll founded. The word female
clerk" has almost grown to be synonymous
with strumpet. The Offices of some of the
departments are openly spoken of as
| -harems." There have been more repu-
tafions ruined in Washington since the
party in power took possession of the
government than there wero In the previ-
GUS eighty and odd years of its existence
The national capital has been for twenty
years place to which decent woman
could go only at the risk of losing her
character. or at least, her reputation,
The number of murders which have been
committed on account of real or alleged
| seductions can be counted almost by the
dozen. 1t is under the rule of the Repub-
lican party that the Widow Oliver, the
Christiancy scandel, the Hill Raymond
affair, the Ferry oowhiding, the Sprague-
Conkling occurrence. and scores of others
equally disreputable. have taken place;
and have made the capital one of the most
| Infamous cities in existence.
