What the Veto ns-Fore.warned,
FOre-armed.

Mr.. L. @. Worthington says in the
Richmond Despatch
l regard the veto as proof, if any were
needed, of the purpose of the Republican
party to hold on to the government by fair
means or foul. The power TO appoint as
many partisan electioneers and bullies I'm
der the name of deputy Marshals, to ma
nipulate and control the election of 1880, is
vast one, and they have evidently no
purpose to surrender it. The President, one
of the most cautious of his party, is not
willing to give up this advantage and al
low the United States Courts to name the
deputies and give an equal representation
to both political parties.

bread policy in Issaquena county. OF
course on the principle Of local self
government, each county has a right to
determine its own line Of action for
itself. But we insist that hereafter
when Radicals, like Lem. Moore are
sent to the Legislature on that line, that
it will not be in order to thrust them
or to permit them to thrust themselves,
into the caucusses of the Democratic
members
The Compromise and conciliatory man
ner as adopted and advocated by the citi-
Zens of this county has been the means of
embOldeninC some of the leading lights in
the Republican party, who appear to think
that the Democrats who hold office does so
through their grace and generosity. This
plan has imbitterel that class to such an ex-
tent that the Republican party has once
more taken deep root in our midst, and are
preparing in earnest for the fall elections
This state of affairs is not due wholly to the
coIOred people, but also to 4 few in our own
ranks. who are always willing to sink the
party 10 subserve their private ends. This
is unfortunate, but it Is as true as holy
writ.
