The bloody shirt still waves in the South
but the shoe is now on the other foot Hard
Iy day passes that the papers do not con.
tain accounts of outrages committed by
Southern negroes upon white people. A res
pectable physician while riding along the
road was shot down by colored man who
apparently had no motive for the decd.
Another negro was lynched in Maryland
for outraging white lady. And yet the re-
publican organs would have us believe that
the only reason why the South is Democratic
is because the poor negroes are buldozed.
Occurrences in the South are magnfied and
exaggerated, while the very same things
happen every day in the north without no.
tice. What a beautiful Ku Klux story the
Vanliew murder would haYe made if it had
happened below the Mason & Dixon line. But
who in this county ever suspected that this
crime had any political significance Men on
trial and acquitted in the south before republic
can judges, and the Northern press howls
about rebel iuries which override the laws and
set criminals free upon society. Men are tried
and convicted of melting to riot, of bribery
in Pennsylvania. and before the jury can
render verdict or the prison doors can
close upon them republican Governor pre-
psres previous pardon, on a republican
board of pardons sets them free. That is
the difference between the republican North
and the Democratic South. Republicans
may commit the crime of theft, mis- con-
duct in Office, perjury, or any other high
crime, they may disregard the constitution
and the laws, and the more they do it the
better partisans they are.
Party offices and honors are lavished upon
them, and they are held up as noble exam
piles of republican statesman, Rebel briga-
diers who signify their willingness to be con-
verted to republicsnism fora consideration are
received with open arms, and,rewarded with
offices, as were Longstreet, ,Mosby and othel
rebel leaders. But let Wade Hampton be
, sent to the Senate Chamber, and the cry o
''treason" treason" comes from the lthroats o
a thousand organ grinders. The republican
platform so far as the south is concerned i
just this "Vote our ticket, help keep us in
Office and everything you ask for shall bC
granted you. But so long as you stick tC
the:democracy, just so long you are rebels,
just so long shall you be down trodden, your
rights denied you your ballot boxes guarded
by our bayonels. You shall and must be a
part of this union, but you shall not have
one word to say about how the union shall
be governed. Repent and we will give you
all the spoils of Office there are left after
we get what we want. Stick to your pres
ent allegiance, and we will keep our heels on
your necks until the majority is so great
against us that we dare no longer oppresi
you." That day is fast approaching.

1t hes been the custom ia this county to
permit candidat'' tor Clugr,sS and State
Senate to name their own cOnfereeS. For
reasons that have become manifest in recent
years, this practice ought to he chang d..
Congressional aud Senatorial conferres are
chosen by the convention and are supposed
to be the representatives Of the party. They
are sent to the conference for the purpose of
using all honorable means to secure the NOM
inati0n of the man for whom they are in
structed, aud If this cannot be accomplished
TO nominate some other pc. On who vii.
make strong run. BY permitting the can
didate to name his own men the convention
turns over to him the privilege of appoint
ing thosewho will do nothing except what he
directs, which often leads to protracted ses..
ion, and makes bad feeling. The coming
convention shoLld select its representatives. to
conferences, aud they shoull be men who
will not only do all in their power to secure
Columbia County's choice, but who will also
act upon their own judgment without feel
ing compelled to obey the direction Of the
home candidate, when they see that his
chances are gone. The conferees are the
agents of The whole party, and not simply
of the cand dates, and they should therefore
feel at liberty to act for the best interests of
the party.

In another column we publish al article
giving reasons why Capt. Brockway should
be nominated for Congress, This article is
inserted simply as paid advertisement, and
with the distinct understanding that we do
not in any way endorse it editorially. 1t is
the policy of this paper not TO take up the
cudgel in favor of any particular candidate
prior to the nomination, but we cannot re-
fuse to permit any democrat to advocate his
own claims through this paper SO long
as he does not request us to adopt his words
as ours.
So far as our personal preferences go we de-
sire, first, to have bona fde Columbia coun-
ty man nominated. If this cannot be done
we think it only right to carry out the es-
tablished rule and return Mr.. Klotz to Con-
gress.

RIGHTS.

But no form of Government, however
carefully devised, no principals, however
sound, will protect the rights of the people
unless the administration is faithful and el-
ticent. 1t is vital principle in our system
that neither fraud nor force must be allowed
to subvert the rights of the people. When
fraud, violence or incompetence controls,
the noblest constitutions and wisest laws
are useless. The bayonet is not a fit instru
ment for collecting the votes of freemen. 1t
is only by a full vote, free ballot and fair
count that the people can rule in fact as re-
quired by the theory of the govern ment.
Take the foundation away and the whole
STRUCTURE falls.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1880-08-06

The war for the Union was successfully clos
ed more than fifteen years ago. All classes
of our people must share alike in the
blessings of the Union and are equally con.
cerned in its perpetuity and in the proper
administration of public affairs. We are in
a state Of profound peace. II 'ceforth lot
it be our purpose to cultivate sentiments of
friendship and not of animosity among our
fellow-ctizens. Our material interests, va
ried and progressive, demand our united and
constant efforts. A sedulous aud scrupu-
lous care of public credit, together with a
wise and economical management of our
governmental expenditures, should be main
tanned, in ord er that labor may be lightly
| burdened aud that all persons may be pro-
| tected in their rights to the fruits of their
| own industry.
