Neutral Republicans.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, May 1O,-Thero are
a large class of Republicans at the
National capital whose position on
the issue between the President and
Senator Conkling is one of regret.
They deplore the whole business as
q misunderstanding likely to cost the
Republican party more than all the
offices at stake are worth. It is not
forgotten by these, who are rather
impartial as between the President
and Senator, that there is an import
ant election in New York this fall,
and certainly the present complica-
tons wont increase the chances of
Republican success. While the
champions of the President on
the one side and the New
York Senator on the other are
speaking with loud voices and saw
ing the air with earnest gesticula-
tons, the neutral class referred to
are saying one to another, "What
| good "Who is to be benefited g? 4"
"Can we carry on war among our
selves and carry New York at the
same time?" The class of people
referred to would like to have the
miserable business brought to an
end, and if harmony cannot be re~
stored, then something that will
pass for it, and which will not be in
the nature of aid and comfort to the
enemy. The Democrats are certain
| ly getting great deal of satisfac-
ton out of the present complication
between the Republican President
and the leading Republican Sena-
tors. They see in it infinite
possibility of advancement to the
Democratic party. Friends and
enemies alike of Senator ConkliDe
give him the credit of being an in
terminable fighter; when once fully
enlisted he never lets up. The othe'
day a friend said to him, "Do yor
feel buried ?" and he answered Eyes
in the way that [ have often beer
buried before-that is, resurrecteC
as often as buried"
Garfield also has combativeness tx
q high degree, and that these TIVE
men should have locked horns is, al

The counties of Lincoln and
Franklin, in this State, adjoining
each other, have produced two great
statesmen-we might say three. The
two are Beasley, whose surname is
John, and Tolley. Beasley was in
the last Legislature, and when he
failed to talk at least two hours q
day, his associates were apt to think
that he wasn't well. He was the
roaring leader Of the lcw>tax wing of
the Democratic party, and his theory
is that to pay debt is wrong and
oppressive. His friend and co
laborer in reputation, just across in
Lincoln county, Mr.. Tolley, was not
in the last legislature, and had DC
opportunity to let off his surplus gas
but since the adjournment he is reliev-
ing himself by writing long~winded
haEangues against the 1908 act
We trust, for his own good and the
comfort of a long-suffering people
that he will "let up" until cooler
weather, The third statesman is
ex>Gov. Marks. of Franklin. Bu
we will give this in broken doses
out of compassion for the public
and will not say anything Of the ex.
governor now.

SATURDAY, MAY II, 1881.

The lot of President wife is not
altogether happy one. Mrs, Gar
field is quite favorite in Was hing
ton. Besides experimenting the
domestic economy Of the White
House, she has undertaken, as a
matter of duty, to receive all visitors
who have called upon her. The res
lit is, her strength has been over
taxed and she was thrown upon q
bed Of sickness. The demands made
upon the lady Of the establishment
by the ladies and others are almost
as severe as those made by Office
seekers upon the President She
needs rest.

itself 1t has the means of achieving
this. 1t stands neither in need OF
subsidy nor missionary labors.
This is from the leading Demo
cratic paper in the South. 1t is d
plain truth plainly spoken. Had we
used the same language IN the
CHRONICLE, there are weak creatures,
so full of prejudice that the enter
tainment OF liberal views is to them
an impossibility, who would have ins
stantly charged us with being the
enemy of the South. The Southern
people do not think that way. They
are not all fools. Their desire fol
prosperity is as great as that of the
people of any other section. They
want the truth. A few bourbon
politicians do not. They know
that the truth will prove fata1
to their success. Outside of politics
they have not an idea. and their idea
of politics is to achieve success
through gross ignorance and blind
prejudice. Some time ago George
Washington, Esq, of this city, who
has always acted with the Demo
cratic party, expressed views similar
to those expressed in the paragraph
above quoted, and there were men
in Knoxville who called him " flop
per-" and some of the smaller and
emptier- pated bourbons even talked
about " cutting his acquaintance"
Happily for the South, the number
of such persons is growing smaller
day by day. It is hard to resist
light. The rays of the sun will
sometimes penetrate q dungeon.
The light of truth is equally irresist,
ible.
A man with brains may keep the
windows of his understanding closed
for a time, but he will discover
sooner or later that he is fighting
against nature. Men Ike Jefferson
Davis may insist on living in the
past and may mourn over the "lost
cause and say that it fought to
have succeeded because it was
founded on truth and Justice" but
the live, progressive men Of the
South, those who live in the present
and for the future, do not believe it.
They know and admit that it is the
best thing for the country and fol
South that the "lost cause was lost
For Jefferson Davis as a man they
entertain feelings Of respect, but as
a politician he is effete and without
influence.
We quite agree with the Courier~
Journal that the South has the
means Of achieving it's own eman-
cipation. Intellectual emancipation
will make us free. Intelligent
thought, Independent action, and a
resolution to make use of the means
nature has placed within our reach
will give Us commercial emancipa
ton. There is no reason why we
should pay heavy tribute to other
sections. We have the resources
wherewith to make. us free, wealthy
and Independent. And we are en-
couraged with the belief that the
Southern people understand these
things, and they are going to take
advantage of them, despite the
efforts of bourbon politicians.
