cONJURATIO CAMERoNIs-THE FIRST
TRIUMviRATE-cAM GRANT
AND CoNKLING.
Doubt no longer, the fact is before
you The conspiracy has been dis
closed The conspirators intend to
break down ancient usage, to violate
the unwritten law of the Republic |
Grant has consented to take anything,
even the Presidency Look the mat
ter square in the face. Concealment is
no longer possible Don't wait until
it is done and then all cry at once, al
told you 80 P' But what will you do
Do you consider the momentous CUES
tion Do you question the result Do
not facts speak palmer than words
If Grant suffered the Presidency to be
stolen in '76, for the benefit ofanother
how think you will he manipulate
matters for himself at the coming cleo
ton? Is he not proposed because he
is strong man. Think you he will
not use his vaunted strength to take
his seat whether elected or not! Have
not the people already suffered them
selves to be defrauded ont of their
rights? Have they not weakened
themselves by submitting onoe ? Does
not every base surrender of just rights
deprive the masses of that moral cour-
age and manliness necessary to uphold
great Republic, to preserve their
rights of independence and equality
Don't be Indifferent, Don't be care
less. Don't be Gallons. Don't fold
your hands and lament. Don't say it
is TOO late. Don't surrender the dear
est right God has vouchsafed to man.
Don't utter the fatal, "All's WE'LL"
All is not well Don't deceive your
selves by the assuring words of Henry
Ward Beecher, "No matter who is
President the country will prosper for
the people will rule" Gods, the peo-
pie cannot rule their party How
then can they expect to rule the coun-
try p? Look at Pennsylvania, the Re-
publican Empire State ruled by ono
man Cameron, the ring master, but
cracks his whip and three hundred and
| eighty-four thousand, ono hundred and
Jorty-etght free (?) born electors obey
him Think of it. The man Came
ron, boon companion of Robeson, hold
ing in his hands the destiny of nearly
Jour millions Of people The people
rule the country when the same man
is pledged to deliver, not the State
alone, but the whoIe country, into the
power of Grant, whose corrupt Admin
istration brought us into disgrace at
home and abroad,-whOse evil influ-
ence, like the spring of a clock, has
worked down even to the lowest and
meanest creature in the countryP The
people rule when their wishes are not
even regarded in partisan conven-
ton People don't close your eyes to
it. The conspiracy is disclosed. 1t
needs not Cicero to see it. The Tri-
umvirate is already formed, Cameron.

Rome more than you love Caesar II
you do, you can answer that Let
your actions speak as we'll as your
words. If you be Republican, work
for the good Of the people in placing a
good man on your ticket. You have
many worthy and qualified. Bristow
has been weighed and not found want
ing. Sherman has successfully carried
the country through her financial diff.
culties. Edmunds has an unimpeacb-
able record. Or if you must have a
politician rather than a statesman
Blaine is pre-eminently the man. Any
one rather than Grant You as Re-
publicans, know you don't want him.
then why have him?
If you be Democrat, you can still
allow your voice to be heard in the in
terest of good man, and no better 4,
