WHY TUE REPUBLICANS WILL WIN.
The republican party will win the next
election because:
1t is the party of glorious record
1t confronted the heresy of disunion with
overwhelming logic;
1t made courageous stand against Sc
cession and quailed not before the armed
assassins of the constitution:
When confederates fired upon the flag
not a republican wavered in support of
LINCOLN and the administration-not one
took mp arms against his country:
The republican party fought the greatest
rebellion in the history of the world and
saved from destruction the grandest insti-
tutions of ancient or modern times!
When the rebellion was crushed it ex-
tended magnanimous terms to the con-
quered and offered amnesty to all repent
ants, pursuing none with the rigorous pen
alties due to rebellion and treason:
1t gave liberty and the rights of manhood
to four millions of slaves
1t did all it could to protect the rights of
the poor and oppressed:
1t offered aid and encouragement to the
subdued section, waived the collection of
just taxes and dues, gave the south the
benefit of equal laws and privileges, strove
to maintain peace and good order so that it
might take advantage of all of the benefits
Of good government to recuperate from the
disastrous folly Of reckless leaders who had
brought on the war and reduced the people
to poverty:
1t maintained the public credit by wise
measures and honest pledges under circum-
stances more trying than any nation ever
before encountered:
1t paid more than double the compensa-
ton to soldiers and sailors that any nation
ever before gave to its defenders, besides
bountes and pensions and aid to families
such as no government ever thought of
awarding to the common soldier:
As soon Us the war was over ii com
menced reduction of the debt and tax
atom
1t adopted policy for the building up
of home industries and the equalization Of
burdens:
1t commenced q rapid reduction of ex-
penditures
1t provided for sound and uniform cur.
rency by measures of superior wisdom
which were carried with steady purpose to
n successful accomplishment:
It kept peace with foreign nations and
made them pay for their depredations on
our commerce during the war;
II has restored confidence to the business
community by showing knowledge OF
finance, fidelity to sound principles, faith
fulncss TO pledges, adherence to wise meas
ures under fierce opposition, love of good
order and honest endeayor to promote the
general welfare of the community:
1t has maintained the right of the nation
to live:
1t has maintained the right of every cit,
izen to vote:
1t has opposed and striyen to suppress al
violence in campaigns, all intimidation al
elections all false registration, ballot box
stuning, repeating and fraud at the polls;
1t insists upon the right Of every child to
an education, and has abolished all caste
distinctions in the constitution and laws:
IT elected its president in 1876 by hones
votes regularly returned, accurately count
cd, without resorting to cipher dispatches
buying electors, or bribing judges, and il
spite of the offers of high army officer t.
interfere in behalf of man not elected an(
not declared to be elected, he took his seat
Under its administration the country ha
reached a degree of prosperity and slabil
ity never before approached:
The counsels of the party are consistent
} safe. careful, and the results achieved &c
cord with able means directed to whole
some and desirable ends:
The party has mastered the situation
and COMPOUNDED the predictions of its foes
The assignment of General HANcocl
to command of the department of the sout
looks like piece of political satire, but
, is not.
