corruptions, notably before the party was re-
strained by Democratic House of Representa-
tIves, it far exceeded anything ever before
known in the history of the government.
need not go into particulars to make coed these
assertions. The average ordinary annual ex-
denounced by the Republicansof 1860 as ''reck-
less extravaganza" were $65, 29l ,452. 40.
The average ordinary annual expenses
under the first six years of Grants
administration, while the Republicans
had control of all branches of the government,
were $170. 1902, 325.15, or nearly three times
what they were under Buchanan. In the mean
time, the population of the United States had
not increased twenty-five per cent. Surely the
ratio of increase in the ordinary expenses of
the government ought not to exceed the ratio
of increase in population. Twenty-Five per
cent. added to the RECKLESS extravaganza of
Buchanan's administration would make but
$751; 6i4, 1850, or $88, 688, 65 less than was
annually expended by the Republicans when in
full control from 1869 to 1875.
THE OLD REPUBLICAN LEADERS NOT WITH THE
PARTY.
The Republican party of the last ten years
has been no less hostile to the men who found
ed it than to the principles on which it achieved
success. Seward, Chase, Welles, Blair, Greeley,
Sumner, Adams, Palmer and q host of Others
among whom might claim TO have acted an
humble part, the men under whose auspices
the Republican party chiefly made its fame,
ceased to act with it when the war was over,
slavery abolished and the party departed from
the only vital issues remaining of those on
which it came into power. At no period of
our history have reckless extravaganza and the
systematic plumber of the public treasury by
favored partisians been SO fragrant as during
the last term of General Grant g administration.
1t was during that period that Robson,
Williams, Cresswell, Delano and Belknap were
members of the cabinet that the whisky rings,
the Indian rings and the custom house rings
most did flourish; that Indian agencies were
sold; that the fraudulent claims Of Secor and

a national character, in the exercise of which it
is sovereign; that all powers not 30 delegated
by the United States constitution, nor prohibit
ed by it to the States, .'are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people," The
United States are sovereign as to all powers
granted and the States as to all powers not
granted, and from the exercise of which they
are not prohibited. Each is sovereign within
its own sphere. The United States can alone
make treaties, regulate commerce with foreign
nations and 30 on. but it has no power to pre-
scribe the qualifications of voter for even a
member Of Congress, though it may prevent
discrimination between voters on account of
race or color. The federal government cannot
determine when man or woman shall become
of lawful age in any State of the Union, the
mode of conveying property, what shall con-
stitute legal marriage, or cause for divorce.
In these matters and all Others of a domestic
nature, it is as powerless to interfere as the
grand mogul, while the State possesses SOW
ereign power as to them all.
The difference between parties in this respect
ia this: The Democratic party believes that
both the national and State governments are
sovereign within their respective spheres, and
that the combining of each to the exercise of
the power properly belonging to it is essential
to that balance of power on which the endur-
ance of our political fabric depends. The Re-
publican party, on the contrary magnifes the
sovereignty of the United States, and is con-
stantly drawing to it more and more control
over domestic concerns. In fact, some of the
advocates of Republicanism have gone so far as
to deny the sovereignty of the States in any,
thing.
Our system of government is complicated.
There is first the division of powers between
the national and State governments. Then
the subdivision of these powers into depart
ments-executive, legislative and judicial. In
the exercise of these powers, Federal and State,
and by the different departments of each, it
sometimes requires forbearanoe to prevent COL
lision; butno one who properly understands our
form of government doubts that each govern
ment and department thereof is sovereign in
the exercise of powers properly belonging
to it.. The pledge to the traditions of the
fathers, therefore, means nothing more than
return from the centralizing tendencies, the
extravaganza, prohigacy and corruption of
modern Republicanism, to the constitutional
rights of the State and the nation, and to SIM
plicity, honesty and purity in the administers
tion of the pOvernmept H,oud cheera \

TIE Henderson Times saws ::

It was asserted at Dallas by those
who desired TO defeat the nomina-
ton of the Hon. John d. Templeton
for Attorney General, that he was
not in harmony with the administers
ton of Governor Roberts-that he
did not desire his denomination at
Dallas. We can bear testimony to
the falsity of such a charge. AS u
matter of fact, the administration Of
Governor Roberts had no stronger
supporter than the Hon. John d.
Templeton. In his private CORES
pondence and in conversation with
the writer he assured him he was
more solicitous about the nomina-
ton of Governor Roberts than about
his own preferment, since he felt as
sured the policy inaugurated by the
Old Alcalde, ifhe could be permitted
to carry it out fully, would rebound
TO the material benefit ofthe state.
No one aetuated OF truth could
make the statement that Mr.. Tenn
pleton was not the earnest advocate
of Governor Roberts denomination.
He was one of the very few candi-
dates for state position, who had posi-
tive opinions on the subject of a
gubernatorial nomination. He held
his own candidacy in subordination
to that of Governor Roberts, and
he so expressed himself without re-
serve. Mr.. Templeton is. possessed
of many virtues, none of which are
more prominent than his perfect in
tegrity and his unreserved candor.

BY NO MEANS INACTIVE.

The Democratic party has not one
tenth of the money possessed by the
Republican party. An assessment
upon one hundred thousand federal
office-holders produces vast sum.
and when it is made the money
comes, or the repndiating office
holder knows his place will soon
be battered off to another, Yet
1t is said the Democratic COM
mittees are making much show
of ample campaign means. A
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, which paper
supports Garfield, sends a note of
warning to the Ohio Republicans.
The Democratic congressional cam
paIgn committee, he says, are not
concentrating their attention upon
Indiana, but they shaFe en- eye on
Ohio and are sending campaign
provender into Maine and even Yer
mont" Indiana is safely Democrat
ic, and of course the committee does
not feel the necessity o. devoting all
its time to that state. Ohio seems to
have become hopeful if not prom
ising field for their efforts within
the past two weeks, and Governor
Foster understood the situation
when he said, a few days ago, that |
the Republicans would have TO work
hard to save the state. Senator Wal |
lace, chairman Of the committee,
says the Commercials telegram, |
claims everything with confidence. =
Several rooms at the Capitol are be-
ing used by the committee, and their |
principal work is done there. Con-
tracts have just been let for the
printing Of many thousands of doc
uments. Many clerks and twenty or |
thirty folders are kept busy day and |
night forwarding documents to |
states where elections win be held
in September and October.

THE St. Louis Republican SAYS:

The Texas Republicans have nom-
mated Edmund j. Davis for COVER
nor. He has been governor of the
state for one term, embracing part
of the reconstruction leriod when
Federal bayonets had more to do
with the government of the state
than the people themselves had. At
the close of his term he was candi-
date for reelection, but was beaten.
and he then applied to President
Grant for military aid to keep him
in Office on the preteXt that the cleo
ton had not been fairly conducted !;
but the case was so strong against
him that President Grant did not
deem it advisable TO comply with his
impudent request, and Edmund j.
Davis was compelled to vacate his
seat and retire into obscurity. Texas
is now Democratic by 10000 major
ity even after its population has
been largely increased by immigra-
ton from the North, and Davis can
have no hope of being elected. Still
if his friend Garfield should be
chosen President, with Republican
majority in the House, there is no
cOnjecturing what process of mill
tary reconstruction Texas might be
put through for the overthrow of its
lawful government and the return of
Davis to the head of affairs.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-09-02

The Post, an independent jour
nal, calls "Independent Democrat !"
"a double word, unknown to Wor-
cester and Webster, and coined by
an American Bohemian" 1t means
abandonment of democratic princi-
Piles, and independent Democracy is
nothing but the ally, in Texas, of
Radicalism under E. j. Davis. The
Bohemian who coined this unrecog-
nized word had no political convic-
tons, and was controlled alone by
personal interest. For money he
was to-day Republican, tomorrow
a Democrat, and money or place
would have make him became an
Ethiopian had the process of chang
ing ones skin been known. All
Independent Democrats are like this
same Bohemian. They are true to
no one, and would subserve only
themselves, and are independent
Democrats because the masses have
not placed the same merit upon them
as they place upon themselves.
