THE Republican party should be con-
tinued in power, because it has main
tanned the results of the war, and con-
stantly asserted and defended the prin-
ciples of nationality, justice, liberali-
ty, and equality; because it stands for
a pure ballot uncontrolled by intimida,
tion and undefiled by fraud, and fol-
government by the freely expressed
will of majority.

DEMOCRATIC speakers are endeavoring
to show that the Republican party is
not entitled to the credit of suppress
ing the rebellion, yet they cannot
point to a single act of the Democratic
party tending to aid in the preserva-
ton of the Union. Whatever Demo-
cratic orators may affect to believe in
relation to this matter, every intelli-
gent student of history knows that to
the Republican party is due our Ma
tional existence, and 1T is equally true
that the Democratic party got up the
rebellion.

payment. Are the people of the

The Georgia Democracy is sail broke
up and the following statement of

two hostile factions, who are waging
against each other warfare for the
ascendency. Alfred H. Colquitt and
Thomas NJ. Norwood are the two can
didates for gubernatorial honors. AS
the Republicans have no candidate,
their votes are now warmly solicited
by tie two opposing factions. The
quality of campaign literature each
side is getting up is truly refreshing;
it only verities all and much more
than ever was charged against Bour-
bonism at the North or South"

WHILE the South is solid for the
Democratic party. it is not solid for \
single principle Of justice, equality,
liberation, patriotism or loyalty. 1t
is, so far as its ruling element is CON
cerned, solid for states rights, the
principles involved in secession, the
reputation of the national debt, the
payment of rebel claims, the constitu-
ton as it was before the war and the
preferment of rebel citizens and sol
diers over loyal citizens and union sol
diers in official positions.

In the face of the obstacles against
which the Republican party has had
to contend in its fight for the financial
honor of the country it cannot be
truthfully charged with having inter
ests in common with those of the
Greenback party, and yet the Green
back candidate for President who has
been South and knows what he is talk
ing about, confirms the charges made
by Republicans of monstrous frauds
in the elections of the South, saying
frankly that the enforcement of the
national election law is the only thing
which will make a fair election posi-
bic. This national election law is al
object of intense hatred to Democrat
ic congressman, because it aims tC
protect every legal voter in his right
TO vote once, and once only. at giveI

who are not voters, from voting.
