| A correspondent of the Brooklyn
| Eagle, after detailing the acts OF repudi-
alton committed by the Republican
party; the use of the public money to
carry the ection of 1872; the steal of
the Presidency in 1876; the glorilica-
ton OF the '.Star-route'' thieves by the
Republican leaders last year, SAYS:
Every CRIME was condoned as long as its
perpetraiion promised to strengthen the Re
publican party. thousands of business men

to thousands and in lasting disgrace to the
Nation, but that they had been screened from

benefit of the Republican party If that shall
be accomplished, no future Guiteau Will shoot
a President vita the expectation that he will
be shielded and rewarded by the party he had
attempted TO serve.
Every word of the above is true.
There are thousands of Republicans
who know it to be true. The Republi-
can organs show very plainly by their
nervous haste to call for reform that
they recognize the damnable nature of
the operations of the Republican lead
ers Tor many years to enable the party
to keep in power. The man Dorsey, up
to his ears in crime which would send
a man not in his position to the Peni-
Tertiary, rs Secretary of the Republi-
can National Committee, publicly
boosted last fall of the corrupt use of
money to carry the State of Indiana.
Scores of men, their hands besmirched
with the dirtiest and most infamous
work ever carried on by political Or
ganization, were promptly assisted into
tat offices to reward them for their in
fanny in 1876 and 1877 in behalf of the
Republican party.
The Republican party has been the
adroit electro platter of crime. 1t has
taken consummate rascals and per-
fumed them and bedizened them and
enriched them, and has made mockery
OF justice. and law and order Let this
megatherian sham of moral party"
continue in power and murder and
robbery will reign supreme through
the land. The penitence of the Repub
leans is only temporary. Three years
from now, when another Presidential
election draws near, the acts of former
years will be repeated, for the Repub-
ican dogma has ever been that the
party must be kept in power at all haz-
ards. and anything, everything, crimi-
nal or not. must be done to :. save the
party Guiteau is legitimate product
of this enormous organized wickedness.
