To the Editor ofTHE REPUBLICAN;


Consistency, thou art q jewel" sThere
is much being said about Democrats being ap-
pointed to Office by Republican administrations,
&c. While that is true, and a great wrong, yet we
have large class Of professed Republicans who
are more inconsistent and do their party more
harm than outspoken Democrats, For instance,
to my certain knowledge the Democratic papers
are kept alive by clerks protesting to be Re-
publicans. Ifthat was all. 1t would be of small
consequence but you find the clerks after read
ing the Posi- the Sunday Herald and the Capital,
carefully folding aud mailing them home to their
own families, who read them, then hand
them to their Republican neighbors, and
they in turn send them around, because
there Is something very sharp and witty about
"old Grant," or Hayes, as the case may be, and
then the exclamationis; Law, do wOnderif that
can be true2 Yes, II must be; for Sally o OFlana-
gan, who is clerk In Washington, sent II TO her
father, and we all know they are good Republicans
and they would never have sent tiff they did not
know II to be true, and she or they aso In office
under the Republicans and must know ali about
II, Mercy IL that be so think it Is time we
had change &c. well, well. who would have
thought such rascality could be carried
on by the Republican partyY" &c., &c. Thus

carried ON for the last sixteen years, aud still Is.
were doing infinitely more harm % our party than
AN ayowed Democrat "oh, we like to read them
for their sharp and hard articles" is the reply.
Now, Mr.. Editor, insist upon II that for every
true and ayoYed and independent Democrat We
turn out Of office one Of those pretended Repubi-
cans who is found buying and circulating the vile
Democratic sheets, and especially the, pretended
conservative dirt-mAchines, should be turned
out also, OF, for mercys sake, dry up about Demo-

Wiping them of will not do. Have pail put In

THE OTHER WAY
was told me by a lady from philadelphia, whore
they arc proverbial for their thoroughncss In
housekeeping. She said she would defy anybody
TO find bedbug in her house that whenever she
bought bedstead she painted the stats and places
where they enter with white paint, always keep
ing pot Of paint on hand. That filled up tue
inerstices In the pine wood. Then every spring,
as regularly as She cleaned house, she vanished
