RADICAL EPFRONTERY Y.

III the political history oil the SlXtn Dlstflct.
The committee on resolutions, in serving
up a delectable feast ofpatitudes, succeeded
most admirably in letting the people know
how deficient their knowledge is with ref
erence to the true state Of affairs as they
really exist in the United States, or, taking
it for granted that the members of that COM
mittee are men acknowledgements and thought,
who keep themselves posted as to the ever
changing political aspect of our country, in
fact, that they know whereof they speak, we
must arrive at the conclusion that they
think the people are, as class, gullible and
prepared to swallow any fictitious tale set
forth in the shape of resolutions emanating
from Radical body-who as a rule, are
mighty saving ofthe truth.
But the resolutions are problems which
the sober, thinking men of this district will
probably resolve into one Of two things:
either that they, the resolutions, would make
capital squibs for comic almanac, or that
they are gratutous insults to their general
intelligence. But let us look at few of them
and see how many falsehoods we can find
which are given to the public as tr9tti
The first resolution, as matter of course,
swallows the Chicago platform, hook, line,
bob and snker.
The second, third and fourth endorses
the nominees of that conventiopAbut skill
fully uvojds saying anything d65uf 6frfeld's
paving contract, the salary grab or his con-
nection with Cakes Ames and others in the
Credit Mobilier swindh, or how Hayes and
Sherman kicked Arthur from the New York
custom saying to him as they did so gross
abuses Of administration have continued and
increased during your incumbency," etc.
These three resolution are "a string of gilt
tering generalities" and lf-glorification, a
kind of you tickle me and will tickle you
sentiment
The fifth lisa strong draw on the magma
tons of the committee. 1t assert that the
Democratic party "now seeks, by gross
frauds upon the census, to cover her waste
places, Stunned by the immigrant, and to
perpetuate the power stolen by the tissue
ballot count" This, we might say, is an un-
pardonable falsehood, cut from whole cloth,
and the members of that convention knew it
if they knew anything. They were aware
that the officials of the census bureau siren
uously deny the discovery Of frauds upon
the census" Probably that committee had
not read the order issued by the chief of the
census bureau, OF which the following is
synopsis;
an consequence of the fi3is6 and errone-
Gus statements relative 10 the South, which
have so freely been made Of late in reference
70 matters connected with the census il is
O1tered and forbidden any Of the employees
Of the census bureau "a communicate any
information concerning the business of the

Is all night and proper !; IS more than
probable preconoertel affair, 10 place no
ticket in the field and after the election howl
intimidation by the shotgun policy In
some Southern localities in times pas; the
opposition placed full tickets in the field but
utterly refused to vote them OF attend the
polls on election days, and all this in order
70 give their Northern allies an opportunity
to make political capital. What DO the Rad
icals think the American people are, Do
they suppose they can make them believe
such miserable fabricationss
"7th. That the purity and efficiency Of the
administration Of Rutherford b. Hayes de-
serves the unqualified commentator Of the
/ people OF the United States" This resOlu-
ton says nothing OF Ills Fraudulency"
being away from his duties at Washington
and now making stump speeches in Califor-
MIA and the West at a yearly salary Of fifty
thousand dollars. Oh, no that is all right ;
that is where the purity and efficiency"
comes 10 the front, and for which Hayes
deserves the unqualified commentator Of
the people Of the United States p
The last resolution is another swect-scentod
bit ofliterature and we also give it in ful.

lfthere is anybody in this Congressional
district who can point TO one act Of the Hon.

his district aside from promptly collecting

where il took place and yindicate the man
