GsN. Beavers CANDIDACY.
General Beaver is the standard
bearer of the party in this campaign.
and 1t is his business to see to it that
the campaign is conducted on the
principles and according to the repula-
tions announced in the platform upon
which be stands. If be has not the
moral courage and intellectual capaci-
ty to mould and direct his campaign.
or at least to see that it is done ac-
cordlng to the party creed, he is
deficient in the very elements REQUIRED
to be the chief magistrate of great
Commonwealth. In this respect his
failure has been most lamentable and
extraordinary. He has absolutely
been absorbed by and lost his identity
in j. Donald Cameron, who has not
the discernment to see that he is too
great load for any man to carry.
He has shown in this campaign that
he has accumulated an immense mass
of ignorance of the real sentiments of
the people, of the most extraordinary
density. His arrogance, his dictate
rial manner, his selfshness and his
despotic will have long been known
and appreciated. His vassals have
long writhed under his relentless lash
with ill-concealed impatience. But
never, until this campaign, have his
flashes of stupidity illumined the
political armament with such startling
efulgence. Every effort which has
been made to detach him from the
contest, and especially from General
Beaver, has received bis imperious :
veto. He will hear to nothing and
submit to no terms which will leave
him out of the contest, and which will
not make the success of Beaver his
endorsement. His motto is, "Am
Cesar aut nullus." If the people do
not approve his cause by their votes for
Beaver, be has no further use for the
party, and will leave it defeated rather
than take himtelf out of the contest.

But in the absence of that Brutus.
the people must dethrone his autocrat.
While Beaver is better man, be is so
inextricably bound to the fortunes of
Cameron that they must stand or fall
together. This is admitted by all
intelligent people, but while some say
they can both be carried through,
and others that they must both fall,

But they are 80 inseperably connected

however, be unloaded and we propose

of sovereignty shall cumber the way
in one promiscuous indistinguishable
mass voted with and worked for
the party when it had no rewards to
give and no hope ofimmediate success.
But it was in the right and the people
were not too slow to see it, and when
they do see it they move with majes-
ty and power which sweeps away
parties, men and party shiboleths as
forests fall before a cyclone. They
know their rights and are jealous of
their invasion, and when they see
them usurped by proud imperious
dictator, the old spirit is aroused,
which in this country has always
spurned the shackles OF an autocrat.
