nounce' the fact that part is
less than a whole; that Tennes'
see is weaker than the United
States. They "denounce" a gov
eminent of law and order. They
also "denounce its methods" That
is, they denounce that very ungen'
tlemanly and rough way the repub-
lican party had Of grabbing them
by the back of the neck and applys
ing its great foot to a particular
part of their anatomy, when they
were not doing anything but trying
to break the union into a thousand
pieces. They "denounce' that uns
comfortable method the republi-
can party has of compelling them
to be honest. They "denounce its
controlling minds" They denounce
an Eimunds, Garfield, Sher-
man, a Conkling, a Blaine, Wash
burne, a Fish, a Foster, an Anthony.
Certainly they do. Satan ''der
nounced' every angel in high
heaven when he fell, and as every
dog does his antagonist when he
comes out second best in the fight.
The republican party is "an enemy
to free government" Notwithstand-
ing in 1856 the republican
party was organized for the sole
purpose of making every inch of
soil in the United States and every
man in it free, they 'denounce" it.
Leaving out the fact that ever since
its inception it has been the only
champion free government has had,
and whether in equipping ana send
ing to the front brave soldier boys,
or rendering harmless the machina-
zion Of Vallandigham or Tilden
or others of the copperhead repre-"
sentatives in the rear, or struggling
to preserve the honor Of the great
government Units financial matters,or
furnishing martyrs for the fendish
hate Of southern bulldozers, or pre-
serving on the statute book "war
legislation" the fruits of priceless
patriotic blood; legislation rendered
immortal by the monuments Of SOL
diers' graves and widows and fae
therless children's tears, it has ever
kept untarnished the freedom of the
whole people, they "denounce' it.
These New Hampshire self,sp-
pointed patriots further "denounce
especially the most Infamous act of
usurpa ton whereby the determined
will of the American people, con-
stitutionally expressed at the polls,
was most outrageously defed and
the shameless creatures of a con-
spiracy and fraud installed etc.
Thus they denounce the electoral
commission, which never would have
had being if it had not been for
members Of their own party, and
which is as much a child of theirs
as of the republicans. No one can
object to them calling Hayes and
shameless creatures" for
that is matter OF small moment,
and with democratic IDEAS Of
shameless" high compliment,
but they ought not to "denounce"
the commission, because that would
argue that they are ashamed of their
own offspring, and spread abroad
the opinion that it would not be at
all surprising if they should, after a
time, "denounce" these denuncia-
tons. 1t would not be a novelty
either, for they have done such
things before.
They are most fearfully alarmed,
too, lest $4,000 "federal bayonets'
should "intim idate" 45,000,000
free Americans and consequently
"denounce" them. 1t would not be
to the point, perhaps, to call atten~
ton to the fact that Bloody Kan,
sas' was once overran by "federal
bayonets" in behalf of democratic
supremacy, or that not thousand
years since large shot-guns and
blacksnake whips accomplished the
same object in the "sunny south"
These New Hampshire democrats
after passing, unanimously, these
resolutions, proceeded to get ready
to vote for Tilden the railroad
