TAYLOR Is DOOMED.
lie Sees the Handwriting on the Wall.
His Endorsement OF Wade
Hampton SalVdtGs Him.
REPUBLICANS SHOULD BRACE Up.

Mr.. EDITORIALS the canvass pro-
crosses, Bob. Taylor realizes the fact
that his chances for election grow
beautifully slim, which causes bim to
rant and curse like a mad man. He is
troubled. The Republicans that sup
ported him two years ago have de-
serted him and now he sees that his
rotten craft ladened with his extremely
partisan rebel record. cannot be safely
moored into the much desired
haven. The tide of public sentiment
has set in against him, and he is
viewing very reluctantly the horrible
vortex which is gaping to swallow
him up in disgrace and defeat. Re-
publicans are not going to be hood
winked and deceived by him and his
hungry commorants this time. He
is left in the hands Of his rebel die
tators. He is doomed ,toa Waterloo
defeat, and will retire from public
life a ruined, disgraced, demagoJ"e.
The political animus of this District
has passed through a complete revo-
luton. The people are honest and
abhor tho spirit Of secession. They
scorn the utterances of the Southern
Democracy. The teachings of Wade
Hampton and all other such ''yelps of
hell" which are condoned and sane
toned by Bob. Taylor, does not suit
the stomaches of the average Repub-
lican in this section. The Federal
Soldiers who fought the same senti-
ments for four long bloody years are
not now ready to march Up and lay
down their trophies at the shrine of
the Rebel Democracy. They ale not
ready to gulp down the teachings of
Bob. Taylor and his party. Nor are
they ready to say that this govern
ment shall be controlled by a clan of
Southern braves who declared in
its last Congress that every ''vestige
of Republican legislation" should be
wiped out of existence.
Bob Taylor and his party contin-
| ually cry and howl for a CH ANGE /!
The same old Rebel hue and cry ag-
agitated the Country in 1860. Moth
ing short of a complete change would
satiate the THIRST. of;the hungry Dem
ocracy. The Democracy-did effect a
change. But what were its conse-
quences? Let Bob Taylor and his
followers answer. The country was
not ready for a change, noris it ready
now. The people clamored then for
a union Of the States. They fought
the spirit Of dissolution. But the
Democratic party sternly persisted in
it's course of treason, and finally
plunged the country into civil wal.
Now after an elapse Of twenty
years the same old reasonable
party, headed in this district by
Bob Taylor, is agitating the coun-
try and clamoring for a change
What kind of a change is troubling
the Democracy Let Bob Taylor
and Wade Hampton nswer. Let
Lamar and jeff Davis, of Mississi
ppi, and Isham G.. Harris, ofTenn-
essee, nswer. Let the records OF
the 46th Congress answer. Let the
solid South answer. Let Repudi
alton, Fraud, and all the hellish
crimes perpetrated upon an homes,
oppressed people answer. Tht
same sort of change that troubles
the Democratic party to-day troub
led it in 1860. It wanted secession
then and it wants it to-day. i
wants Republicans d~isfranchised
It wants to establish by Rebel legis
lation all that was lost in war. !
wants revolution. 1t wants tn
