National Republican., 1882-11-04
Tribune Sncakcry.


Tribune on the subject of the murder of
negroes in South Carolina. Itcould have
appeared in Wednesday mornings issue
of that paper. But instead there APP
pcared on that day an editorial on the
same subject, written in a strain to please
true Republicans The next day MIR.
Chambers letter was printed with the
following note added by the editor:
The Tribune has been in this field before the
Secretary He need not turn further back in his
file than TO the Tribune of yesterday for an illus
tration. We hope however, that the secretory's
statement OF facts at the South is less open to the
suspicion partisan e-sidedness than his state
ment OF the 7riJune'S position at the North
1t seems evident that the Tribune re-
ceived Seer ctary Chambers letter, made
it the basis of an editorial, and printed
the latter first in order to be able to
make the sneaking comment above
quoted on the letter published the next
day. True, for the reasons here given, the
Secretary need not turn back to
Tribune of earlier date than Wednesday
to find the editorial evidently inspired
by his letter, which was suppressed in
order to show that "the Tribune has been
in the field before the Secretary" But
whoever will turn back in the Tribune
files TO 1872 he will find that for the four
years then commencing the infamous
and treacherous Tribune was most vehe-
ment in its defense of Southern outrages,
and that it did all in its power to ridicule
"the bloody shirt" which afforded so
much amusement to the Northern SYM
pathizers with the political murders at
the South. Out upon the old.prostitute.
Cain might as well have joined in exc
crations of his own crime as for
at the system he sustained for four
years, and only appeared to abandon
when supporting it diverted coppers from
| his pocket. He cannot rail his Bourbon
| Democratic editorials out of the files of the
| Tribune. His editorial note suggests that
Mr.. Chandler's letter is "open to the sus-
picion of partisan one.sidedness." This
shows the sincerity of the editorial of the
| day before, written to draw the sting of
the merited rebuke the letter contains,
and intended to satisfy Republicans who
are true. The note is the apology he
makes for ii. to his Bourbon allies. Not
a Republican has been murdered in the
South for political reasons for the last ten
years whose blood does not cry aloud
from the ground to the editor of the New
York Tribune. Who can deny this
How much longer is this press pirate to
receive credit with any Republicans? +?
What party can or ought to live which
acknowledges such spotted traitor?

There is really no fear that the steam
from the Democratic family washtub
will ever begin to affiict the country at
all. The Democratic party embraces
"the great unwashed," and prefers to
wear its linen dirty.

If the political cut-throats who are
now so fiercely engaged in the attempt
to slaughter the Republican party in some
Republican States were to succeed for
this year, would it make them heroes
and administrators on the estate of the
party?
