In short, we do not believe in the So
called Republican party of thie country,
for they have been trying to establish
upon the American people the EogIish
system. Their legislation is all designed
to make the rich, richer; and the poor,
poorer. IL fact, this party in power, like
despotisms in other Luds, 'Jeel pOuer. and

The Democratic campaign committee
of Philadelphia claims that 5000 names
have just been unlawfully dropped from
the lists, and 90, 900 added in the same
high handed way. Philadelphia is run
by the Republican machine as Re-
publican city. The Republican U. S.
Marshal of Philadelphia testified before
the Wallace committee last spring, that
Federal Supervisors were really unnec>
essary and useless in that city. No
doubt he meant that those officials are
only needed in cities havirg Democratic
majorities, for the purpose of intimidat>
ing and bulldozing.

The REPOSITORY Alliance Review, and
"sich" are now trying to excuse the
mean efforts to make hs Reunion par
tisan, Republican affair, and help on
their bloody-shirt, sectional crusade.
These organs are charging that "promi-
nent Democrats" opposed the Reunion.
The strong Democratic townships like
Plain, Lake Jackson, Bethlehem, &c, were
fully up with the Republican townships
in furnishing supplies; and Democrats of
Canton did fair service, and did not an
tagopiza. A few facts play hayoc with
the howls and false statements of these
partisan sheets.

SHALL WE HAVE ITs

! We have not yet succeeded in getting
an explanation regarding Congressman
McKinley's lodging the votes on the
Chinese question in Congress, during
the session of 1879. We have been OF
the opinion that the voters of this dist.
riCt had right to an explanation from
Major Mckinley himself, or from his
family organ. An explanation is Ger
tainly in order now, as Mr.. Mckinley is
a candidate for Congress for the third
time. Are We to have an explanation ?
Or, does the NJ. c., from this district alb.
solutely refuse to explain?
We take it that the workipgmen of
his district, and the people generally,
deem the Chinese labor question of in
portaDce; and lhat they desire to know
where the candidate for Congress stands
on a question 80 important, We also
take it that the people have right to
know as a member is presumed to rep.
resent the People of his district If he
does not do this, he mis.represents them,
and is unworthy to fill the place, and not
entitled to re election.
Illness or something else might inter.
vene to cause member of Congress to
miss voting; hence the propriety to give
a member a chance to explain, both as to
his non.voting, and also as to his posi-
tion on the question. We have therefore
been calling for weeks upon Congress-
man Mckinley for an explanation of his
lodging course on the Chinese question.
This question is one of great Importance,
threatening and affecting all laboring
men Of the white race. Let there be no
lodging nowl Let there be a full and
free expression, that the voters Of this
district may vote understandingy. Let
there be no deception, but fair, square,
open work. Let there be no arrogance,
no refusal to explain and define position,

The Democrat has evidently forgotten
to mention the fact that the unrepentant,
unpardoned, hard fighting, eX confed>

Rob't Toombs of Georgia, like Roger A.
Pryor, has found the hour and the man.
Toombs says;
we cannot put in one of our own men

That being the case, let us take one who
is less blue bellied' than most of them.

the South will see that Hancock does
the fair thing by them. In other words
he will run the machine to suit them, or

man say that Hancock cannot carry all
of the South, you may put him down as
a d. fool. Alliance Review
The Review forgets to say when and
where Tooms thus shot off his mouth, 1t
is no doubt an invention OF some loll
radical, who we'll understands the des-
perate condition of his party. The

The Democratic party, noting the fact
that tLese soldiers reunions are big
booms for the loyal Republican party,
again comes soemnly and lugubriously
to the conclusion that the war was "a
failure. ."-RepOsitOry, Sept 2.
The Democratic party has come to the
conclusion that the leaders of the party
of fraud, whose intent has been to 30
manage things as to revolutionize the
government and establish a centralized
despotism, propped up by corruption and
bayonets, is "a failure" They ropped
up the carpet-bag rule in the South for
years but those knaves have gone. Con-
gress in both branches is against them,
and the election of Hancock and Eng.
lish will clean out the knaves from their
last stronghold Of power. Then we shall

PATRIOTISM is defined to be, love Of
country. In that case, patriot cannot
spit out hate at and denounce one part
of the country, for patriotism must en-
brace the whole country. A narrow
minded, intolerant, person, who assails
the people of one section, and seeks
thereby to divide and array one section
against another, is not a friend of the
country, but an enemy.
Blu; when such a fellow claims to be
the patriot, par ercellenee one may re-
member the old remark, that,-"Pariot
ism is oftentimes the last refuge Of a
scoundrel."

Mr.. McGREGoR, Of the Democrat. says
of the Reunion: I'm this there was no
partisanship, nothing but noble Christ
ian, heartfelt generosity. However
much narrow.minded political partisans
may try to pervert such an occasion to
their base uses, the good people of Stark
as a whole, are not governed by such
considerations" Very good, and we
suppose it was meant as a rebuke to the
Hancock Legion of Cleveland, the only
political organization in the line OF pro-
cession, Repository, Sept 4h.
1t was meant as rebuke to all those
whose narrow minded intolerance and
bigotry, endeavored to pe9vert such a
grand occasion from patriotic purpose,
and COW the seeds of sectional hate, with
a view to build up a sectional, John
Brown party.
The Hancock Legion Of Cleveland had
a right to come, having been Union sold
iers. The came as such, and participated
as such, in the grand occasion. If Gen.
Garfield had right to be here, who left
the army to run for Congress, surely
honest soldiers even if members of the
Hancock Legion, had right to be here.

So, the Rep says "the Reunion was a
Republican institution" OF course the
small beer Republican politicians

hate and lack of patriotism, by ate pit

their speeches, the carpet bag hate that
animates such narrow minded partisans,
We are glad to say, the great heart of
the people have little now in common
with such John Brown specimens.
The American people desire liberty,
equality and fraternity between all sec
tions throughout the country, that we
may have peace, and that prosperity
that comes on the healing wings of peace,
The true patriot is he that Cultivates
and promotes sentiments of good will

fact, this only is patriotism; and the re.

Democracy means justice, Republican
rule means injustice and oppressive mo-
nopoly. Justice means protection to
honest labor and honest business, not
destruction by unjust burdening, and the
enslavement of the workman by reduc-
ing him to Chinese slavery. Democratic
policy is all opposed to reducing work
ingmen to the Chinese Cooley condi.
ton, and hence oppose monopoly in all
shapes, and aim to establish and main
tain equal and exact justice to all men,
