Government. d,srg,t
.1@- Intolerance is never wise, and an
intOlerant section can never be sensible

intolerant South can only bring disaster
upon the country.

~ The Incidence, bigotry and .ig-

Republican party in Louisiana He did
not explain howl happened.
N~ The Cincinnati Commercial says
Judge Blacks letters on Garfield are
becoming monotonous. In all of them
Garfield is an awfully good man, but
bad politician. Black never could per-
suade himself to forgive man who did
not recognize the Southern politicians
as divinely appointed rulers of the land.
6Seventy Democratic members OF
Congress have, according to General
Hancock, offered San insult to the in
telligence and honor of our peopleo-
by proposing bills to facilitate the pass
age of Rebel claims. General Hancock
will find a large proportion of his most
conspicuous supporters in the list.

Bas-In 1861, WigfaIl, a Democratic
United States Senator from Texas, de-
clared in the Senate chamber that t'the
American flag was an old woman's rag,
and ought to be folded up and put away
in the attic" Two million and a half
boys in blue christened it sold Glory
and baptized it in the blood of half
a million of their number. 1t still
waves.

which Solon Chase has been ousted be-
cause of his refusal to support a Fusion
Electoral ticket composed of four soft
money men and three (alleged to be)
hard money Democrats, is ChGse's s

D@ The New York Democrats held

Tammany men marched arm-in-arm'

was first swallowed by the Kelly lion.

to talk about any danger that Garfield
