The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-08-26

No Republican paper has yet ex-
planned the Inconsistency. between
the state of affairs in the South as
they represent it and as General
Grant represents it. The two state
ments are so radically opposed to
each other that it is clearly impos-
sible for both to be correct. The
organs every day declare that the
Southern people are violently dis
loyal and hate the old flag with the
greatest degree of bitterness. Gen.
Grant says that he a in every
Southern State and saw only the evil
dences of peace and prosperity, and
that the people were as loyal and
patriotic as people anywhere else
and honored the old flag as much.
Now, if this is correct, what the or
gans say must be false, and if their
statement represents the facts then
General Grant must have lied. Will
some Republican organ please
straighten this out2

A Republican Club of one hundred
and fifty members, many of them
colored voters, refused to turn out
at the Garfield ratification meeting
in Washington city last week, and
then passed q resolution unanimous
ly to march in the Hancock process
sion this week. This is a ''straw."

Now, Bro. Morris, is the above
sufficient evidence that Gen. Garfield
did not oppose the salary grab mea-
sure? The plea that he 'refused to
take the money" is a very lame one,
and is about equal to that given by
every thief when detected. He held
on to the "grab' forty-mtne days af-
ter the measure passed, and twenty-
taco days after his Republican con-
stituents had denounced him, and
ordered him to resign the seat he
had d~isgraced. "He vas the second
man to refuse to take the money"
exclaims the Helmet! Was there
any more than tao refused it, and
if so, who were they2 If the money
was not "plunder," and Gen. Gar
field considered it proper and just,
why did he sneak it back into the
Treasury after voting for it? Is it
reasonable TO suppose that a man
honestly and justly coming into pos.
session of 81, 54S, would turn around
and give it away2 No, sir. He
knew it was a "steal," but when he
found his constituents threatened
him with disgrace, Ire returned it
Had the feeling against him not beer
so public and bitter among his con
stituents, he would have held to the
"swag' as many others did, and al
the credit his friends can scrap'
from honest people for the restitu
ton will avail him nothing. Hi'
connection with the DeGolyer pave
ment contracts and the Credit Mo
bilier corruption is equally damning
and how any man of the profession
of Bro. Morris, can conscientiousl,
radvocate him for the Presidency, W,
cannot answer. Any Democrat o
! Repu blican who is curious to exam
inc the above facts in the Congress
sional Record, can be accommodates
by calling at the Democrat Office.

Report of the Minority of the " allace
Committee.
The minority report of the Senate select
committee on illegal election frauds was TODAY
submitted to the Senate. In regard to the al
legged intimidation of voters in Massachusetts
and Rhode Island the minority deny that one
single allegation of fraud, misco nduct, 'tcivil-
lied" or "uncizilized" bulldozing or intimida-
tion or attempted intimidation, or political mis-
concuct of any kind on the part of any Re-
publicans or any person of any party, either
in Massachusetts or Rhode Island was proven
before the committee.
The conclusions of the majority are not in
accordance with the facts. Not only were none
of the charges proven but on the contrary, so
utterly were they exploded by the intrinsic
weight of evidence before the committee that
no impartial man who reads the printed
evidence can contradict the assertion.
Adjournment Fixed for May 31st.

SENATE.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, May 49,
The Senate passed the bill abolishing all
tolls on the Louisville and Portland canal.
The Kellogg resolution were taken up, and
Mr.. Hampton spoke.
Mr.. Hampton said all his sympathies were
with the contestant in this case and with the
State of Louisiana which had suffered so
much wrong. But the Senate had no power
| to redress that wrong. Time, the great healer,
could alonge assuage her wounds.
MIR. Carpenter argued against Mr.. Hills
statement that after the Senate had seated a
person it would have to unseat him if the
State recognized new legislature. This doc
trine would make the State, and not the SEN
ate, judge of who shall be Senators.
After Mr.. Carpenters -omarks the Senate
went into executive session and afterwards
adjourned.
House went into committee of the whole on
the legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill.

Resolution directing the Secretary of the In
terror to report facts relative to the rejection
of certain bids for wagons alleged to be lower
than those for which the award was made was
adopted
Mr.. Springer replied to the recent personal
explanation of Mr.. Ortiz.
Mr.. Ortiz replied in a tone of great bitterness
to what he called the extraordinary diatrbe of
the gentleman from Illinois, and said Mr..
Springer had for years pursued him with the
malignily of apolitical and personal enemy
and said he might on some future occasion
make further exposures of Mr.. Sprin gers
traces.
Mr.. Springer called him to order, and defed
him to make now the exposure he threatened.
Mr. Springer then dismissed the subject
with the contemptuous remark that there was
nothing in Orth's speech chat needed reply.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the legislative appropriation bill.
Amendment striking out the appropriation
for payment of persons informing upon and
detecting violation of the internal revenue
laws was rejected.
Having concluded the consideration of forty
of the eighty pages of the bill the committee
rose.
