For the Republican.
An old adsge condemns a dog for
weunding the hand that fed him. Mr'
Bayard ia reported to have 3 given judg
msnt in case of ingratitute In thes|
words "Whip the cur" A very high
authority says, "With what judgment
ye jndge, ye also shall be judged |
commend tLis latter statement to the
consideration Of the Hon. Senator. THIS
ID a judgment in kind.
Mr.. Bayard has iusulted the people
Of this city. 1t is not likely that BIZ
did it ignorantly. His speech before
the Bayard Club on the occasion OF a
nag presentation contains an imputa
tion of imp rurity and dishonor upon
the homes, wives, the daughters ana
the mothers Of those who dare from Mr..
Bayard in politics.
lie asks, "who would trust the safety
Of child, or the fortune OF very
good woman to the care Of many OF
those who hoped to manage the two
late Republican conventions Of the
State 7"
He says "Look at the composition
OF the ribald crowd that rushed howl
ing over an imaginary victory through
the streets of Wilmington few nights
since"
| ask, are not the men who managed
the late Republican Convention, supe'
rior to any treason. smirched locofoco IN

Is not Mr.. Bird, Mr.. Higgins, Mr.. Nc
Lear, Mr.. Hastings. Mr.. Bush, NJ Stone,
Mr.. Febiger, MIR. Praim, Mr.. l.. Hand
Mr.. Emithsrs, Mr.. Harrington, Mr., Can
non, Mr.. Fisher, Mr.. Burton, and many
others whom Icould nams,the superiors
OF any "kaklux, secssh" demigods in
America' No one dare inpute dishohor
TO the hands of these gen lsmen.
Nr. Bayard does not cast this slandeI
at their doors. They are tue excepte d
n few. The mary of whom he speaks ar~
men Of different circumstances. They
are poor men. Some Of them are black
men. Dare Mr.. Bayard say their wives
are not virtuous womer! Dare he say
their children are the victims of name
less crimes at the hands OF their parents
What does he mean when he asks:'who
would trust these men with these sac
red trusts''
What can he mean, but to cast this
slandsrous insult at the doors of the
humble homes Of this city. o! shame,
that such . challenge should come to
such men, from the hands Of chivalry.
Somehow, under the rulings OF infn-
ite wisdom somebody hes trusted us
with tae care Of children, and with the
fortunes of good women. And stand
ing upon his own hearth every work
ingman in this state should send to
this slauderer Of his wife, defiance.
Remember, as long as Mr., Bayard oc
cupies the position OF a Senator he is
a ser vaut OF the people. Should serv-
ant be greater than his lord Is he
tired OF serving the people Many
o. them are tired of this servant.
See the chivalric BAyard
1t is he who opposes the effort of a
human being to preserve his life by
legal means.
It is the great lawyer, that belittlss
the efforts Of a brother lawyer in the
service OF client.
1t is the hater of war, that opposes
the saving of life.
It is the Democrat, who denies to col
ored men the common protection Of the
supreme courts TO save their life.
1t Is the great statesman who declares
that to save the lite Of a poor negro will
destroy the power of a State to protect
its people and obliterate q star from the
United states hsg. Q, fie
1t is Mr.. BAyard, the gentleman, the
man of honor, the man who despises
ingratitude, that insults his fellow citi-
zeps who have honOred him.
Perhaps he has forgotten the non,
partisan reception.
Perhaps he forgot that the men who
honored him, managed Republican con-
yentions.
Perhaps he did not think some OF the
men who houUred him we're also part
of the ribald crowd.
Perhaps it does occur to theEe insalt.
ed and d!sgusted men that Mr.. Bayard
has ueedlessly called them very hard
names.
Will these Bsyard worshiping Re
publieans please break their idols
