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 election of 1872; the steal of
the Presidency in 1876; the gloriiica-
ton of the ''Star-route'' thieves by the
Republican leaders last year, says:
every crime was condoned as long. as its
preparation promised TO strengthen the Re-
publican party. Thousands OF business men
were driven through bankruptcy to despera.
ton and death but the Republican party was
was countenanced, provided portion of the
plumber was devoted to, strengthen the Re
publican party. a deadly blow was struck at
the purity of the ballot, and the assassins of
liberty were promptly awarded by lucrative
positions under the Government. What won
der, then. that mind constituted like
Guiteau's should be driven to the conclusions
at which he arrived? He saw BristOw and
Henderson consigned to obscurity tor faithful
.iniuriously affected the Republican party
He saw the men prominent IN the Electoral
fraud of 1876 rewarded by the Administration
foisted upon the people lrithe interests Of the
ed and toasted by the high-toned Republicans
OF the Union League, and openly compliment
ed by the Nice-Presdeut OF the United States
for his success in carrying Indiana with
laughter He saw, too, that the crimes OF
these men had resulted in disaster and death
to thousands and in lasting disgrace to the
Nation, but that they had been screened from
punishment because they had helped the Re-
publican party. He saw, too, that inc Repub-
iican party was again in great danger of dis
ruption on account of the disagreement be-
tween the Stalwarts and the President, ana he
naturally reasoned that, ii the greater blum
derers who had served the Republican party
at SO great sacrifice of life and honor had not
only been saved from punishment but covered
with honor. surely he would be at least as well
treated if he could save the Republican party
by the painless death of one man. 1t is emf
nently lifting that honest men of all parties
should execrate the assassins crime, but the
people do not need any instructions upon the
who have been prominent in defending the
greater crimes to which have alluded. 1t is
perhaps proper wish a,,d that the lives OF our
guarded, but that may be effected by rever-
sal of the policy of the Republican party and
even though their crimes have Injured to the
benefit OF the Republican party. Ii that shall
be accomplished, no future Guiteau will shoot
President with the expectation that ne 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 for many years to enable the party
to keep in power. The man Dorsey, up
to his ears in crime which would send
man not in his position to the Peni-
tertiary, as Secretary of the Republic
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 a 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-plater 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 a ''moral party"
continue in power, and murder and
robbery will reign supreme through
the land The penitence OF the Repub-
icans is only temporary. Three years
from now, when another Presidential
election draws near, the acts of former
years will be repeated, for the Repub-
lican dogma has ever been that the
party must be kept in power at all haz-
ards, and anything. everything, crimi-
nal OF not, must. DC 5uOuc ~ Save luC
party" Guiteau is a legitimate product
of this enormous organized wickedness.
